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?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
