5 Reasons Why Wisconsin Is The Greatest Place To Live

"Cheese and crackers. Beer and Packers."

5 Reasons Why Wisconsin Is The Greatest Place To Live
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

The place many of us are lucky to call home is the beer loving, football loving, and cheese loving state, Wisconsin. People may assume we all live on farms and drive tractors, and I don’t know if many other states would be proud enough to call themselves something like “cheeseheads," but what’s not to love about the dairy state?

1. Summerfest

Milwaukee’s Summerfest brings bands and fans from all over the world to join in the (not nearly long enough) world’s largest music festival. What better way to jam out to your favorite tunes than with a deep fried something in one hand and a drink in the other (if you're 21 of course)?

2. All Four Seasons

Although a lot of us will whine, cry, and complain about the cold weather, it’s part of what makes Wisconsin, Wisconsin. We get to enjoy the freezing snow, downpours, scorching sun, and crisp autumn breeze, and sometimes that's all in one week!

3. Beer: Beverage Of Choice

Some may call some of the people here alcoholics, but we just refer to them as Wisconsinites.

They don’t call Milwaukee the beer capital of the world for nothing.


4. Go Pack Go

Although football games are just another excuse for us to have a cookout and drink, our true passion for football comes out when we are cheering for the green and gold, the Green Bay Packers.


5. Dairy

We are recognized as the dairy state for a reason. We have some of the best food because of it; cheese curds and custard. Wisconsin and cheese are practically synonyms.

This list is only just a handful of reasons why Wisconsin is the best place to call home, but who wouldn’t love a state as beautiful, drunk, and happy as this?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
