15 Reasons Ohio is the Best State

Everyone seems to hate on Ohio anymore except when elections come around. In this list we will look at what makes the state of Ohio far better than any other state.

1. Ohio has the best fans around

This is a bit of s start but to be true we do. Ohio fans are above others. We generally care about our teams and we really just want a national championship. Ohio will never forget the day Lebron James left for Miami and rioting passed through out the land and then when he came back a parade was there for him.


2. We are the true founds of flight... and space

Sorry, North Carolina but you can take that off your license plates. The Wright brothers were Ohio natives and designed and built their plane in Ohio! Not only that but 24 astronauts came from Ohio including the very first man to step on the moon! Everyone seems to joke about what makes your state want to leave but Ohioans see it as flying above the haters.

3. Our form of high comes from major thrills

Nothing compares to the feeling of dropping 120 feet and the spiraling through the sky strapped safely into a car. Ohio has Cedar Point, USA Roller Coast Capital of the WORLD, and Kings Island brings us many thrills and we can't get enough. People travel all over the world to experience what we know too well.

4. We gave you rock n roll

Well, at least the hall of fame, and we are proud of that

5. Our flag is cooler than yours

Let's not try to hide that fact that our flag is cooler than yours because it just is. We represent that American colors and we aren't square like the rest of

6. We determine the destiny of U.S. Presidents

Candidates fight over our state because we determine the future leader of the America. Ohioans are proud to be in the swing-vote state!

7. It is easy to spell our states name with our arms

You only need 4 people and we are cool like that. When I travel to Argentina in January we were welcomed by other staters hating on the shear awesomeness that only our state can represent. I would like to see North Dakota spell out their state in arms.

8. We have buckeyes

Food, foliage, and people. We are all about being a little nutty!

9. We can't be scared

Ohio has so many haunted houses that we were named the most haunted state in the nation. It is safe to say that we can handle most things.

10. Oberlin College was the 1st interracial college

Ohio stood above race and thought everyone deserved an opportunity to have the same type of higher education.

11. We denounced slavery before we even became a state

Even before Ohio was a state they did not stand for slavery. We later went on to help with the underground railroad and transport people to Canada.

12. Our athletes are some of the best in the world

LeBron James, Jesse Owens, Russel Wilson, Jack Nicklaus, Stephen Curry just to name a few!

13. An Ohio native lit up your world

Thomas Edison of Milan, Ohio gave you the light bulb! You can still visit his childhood home and see the original light bulb!

14. We love water

We are surrounded by water and have the Country's Largest Indoor Water Park at Kalahari. We love water and you will often find us near it during the summer!

15. We're better than Michigan

We just are and there is no arguing it and if you want to just remember 42-13.

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.
