13 Reasons You Should Date A Midwesterner

Ah, the Midwest: Home to The Great Lakes, many pro sports teams, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, lots of food on a stick, crazy traditions, and friendly people. I have been lucky enough to be raised in the Midwest, and I think we are some pretty awesome people. So, why wouldn't you want to date a midwesterner? You would be crazy not to. Here are 13 reasons why you should:

1. We value Family-

In the midwest family is everything. You are close with your family and have loyalty and passion for loved ones, which is better than anything.

2. We can conquer the outdoors.

No matter the season, we can do it all.

3. We know how to have fun anywhere.

On a lake, in a corn field, Seriously anywhere. You will be surprised.

4. We are friendly and always smiling!

Ok sometimes we are too friendly, but that's better than being stuck up and mean.

5. We have Cute accents.

Even if you don't want to admit it, we do.

6. We can handle a tough winter.

You don't even know.

7. We know how to have an awesome bonfire.

A fire, smores, hot dogs, beer, music, and awesome people. What else do you need?

8. We take sports seriously.

We don't joke around when it comes to our sports teams, both college and professional.

7. We know how to make the most of a rainy/cold day.

Cuddling by the fire, wearing fuzzy socks and watching some Netflix of course!

8. Everyone wears flannels!

You can't help but love flannels! Especially the soft ones!

9. We enjoy the little things in life.

Sunsets, days on the lake, pretty flowers, and even fuzzy socks.

10. We are always up for an adventure.

The midwest has so many things out there to explore, and we are always up for it, no matter how crazy it might be.

11. We know how to party.

We really do. Nobody can quite keep up with a midwesterner. Plus we can turn just about anything into a party: a tailgate, a bonfire, and even a day at the lake.

12. We can make a mean hot dish.

Once you take a bite of a midwesterner's "Tater Tot Hot Dish" you will understand. And no, it isn't a casserole.

13. We know our music.

We are the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after all. The number of outdoor festivals we host in the summer months is almost uncountable. Plus, the midwest was the home of Prince, enough said.

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.
