Okay, the main reason for this little list is because I see too many people bashing Kansas on social media. Every state has its own downfalls, let's talk about Kansas' perks.
1. It's not Nebraska

The only state that gets trashed more than Kansas is Nebraska, and we're glad to not be Cornhuskers.
2. THE SUNSETS

Ummm HELLO. Being from Kansas is seeing the same picture of the same beautiful sunset on at least 3 Snapchat stories, and nobody is mad about it.
3. OPE

I don't think anyone realized how much they said this until Twitter brought it to life, now everyone thinks we're country hicks. Ope, I almost got ya. Ope, excuse me. Ope, my bad. Ope, I love it.
4. We feed America

Obviously Kansas isn't the only state that contributes to the farming and harvesting of America's food, but it's a large part of it and we all take pride in that.
5. Sunflowers are pretty

Guess what we have! A couple sunflower fields that are gOrrrRgeOus.
6. The weather is always a surprise

When it's 75 degrees in October but 34 in April.
7. The tornado stereotype

When it's tornado season, the rest of the country imagines us lassoing twisters on horses while wearing overalls and yelling, "IT'S NADER SEASON." But we are all definitely storm chasers.
8. Outdoors are entertainment

Fishing, lake days, hunting, walks, river floats, and so much more are considered a "fun" day in Kansas, and yes, they're actually fun.
