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?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
