13 Reasons Why I Love Being From Wisconsin
Football Stadium Digest

Wisconsin has a lot of things to be proud of, but here are my top 13 reasons why I love calling this beautiful state home:

1. Wisconsinites are some of the best football fans in the country.

There is nothing like being at Camp Randall stadium for a Badger game, and the song Jump Around is a reminder of that. Wisconsin fans are notorious for being some of the most annoying and loud fans in the country, and we are proud of it. Not to mention, Wisconsin is the proud home of the Green Bay Packers. Any loyal Wisconsin native will defend the Packers until the end—and for good reason. Who wouldn’t love the Packers?!

2. We have all four seasons.

Every season is gorgeous, and every season has different fun seasonal activities to offer.

3. Fall is absolutely amazing.

The season Wisconsin does best is definitely the fall. The leaves change to beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows, the temperature is perfect for jeans and a sweatshirt, hunting season, and there are so many things to do in the fall such as pumpkin carving, football games, apple orchards, and bonfires.

4. We do beer better than anywhere else.

Milwaukee isn’t called the beer capital of the world for nothing. We hold claim to many beers such as Miller, Budweiser, and New Glarus, and that's why we say if you don't like beer, you probably aren't a true Wisconsinite.

5. Wisconsinites go hard with tailgating and pre-gaming.

In Wisconsin, we do Game Day right. A football Game Day is not simply just during the game, it takes up your morning before, your night after, and maybe even your night before.

6. It's calm and homey.

When you cross the border out of Wisconsin into Illinois, you can just *feel* that you're not in Wisconsin anymore. Wisconsin has that small-town vibe where you can feel friendly with people just because you’re from the same town.

7. We have our share of "city life."

Milwaukee and Madison are definitely different, but they both offer a lot of the cool aspects that come along with cities. In Milwaukee you have the Historic Third Ward and the Lakefront, and in Madison you have more of a college-town feel, and they both hold a lot of things to offer when it comes to things such as food, art, and culture.

8. Wisconsin is beautiful.

Wisconsin may not be known for its gorgeous nature reserves or our diverse scenery, but we certainly have it. Lakes such as Lake Michigan and Lake Geneva call Wisconsin home, and they are truly breathtaking. Wisconsin has many diverse beaches, trails, state parks, one of which is Devil’s Lake, which is always worth the trip.

9. Our State Fair is the best.

You have not lived if you have not partaken in our glorious array of fried food, live music, rides, and above all, cream puffs.

10. Summerfest is the place to be.

There are so many good times to be had at the World’s Largest Music Festival, which artists and fans alike come from all over the country to be at.

11. The University of Wisconsin has got it goin' on.

Madison, Wisconsin is home to one of the top schools in the nation, both athletically and academically. If you are from Wisconsin, then you definitely boast Badger pride.

12. Up North: the perfect weekend getaway.

A cabin in rural northern Wisconsin is the ultimate place to go to escape urban life and go hunting, fishing, boating, mudding, and water sports, amongst other fun activities.

13. Wisconsin Pride.

Most people from Wisconsin love being from Wisconsin, and that’s what I love about it. We Wisconsinites share an unspoken bond because we take pride in our state.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
