Ohioans. We do some strange things that we don't realize we do until we move states or our non-Ohio friends point it out. We are proud of these odd things and do them with pride. We're known for many firsts, many weird buildings, the "Hell is Real" sign and of course the Three Big C's: Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. You are sure to find potholes, bipolar weather, and cornfields no matter what time of year you visit. Aside from being known for presidents, astronauts, firsts, etc., we are also known for our weird lingo, sports teams, and strange habits.

Potholes

Driving on the freeway is like playing Mario Kart.

Construction

It's sad when there's more orange cones than people in one state.

Four seasons in one day

We've literally been under a level 2 snow emergency with flash flood warnings, don't test us.

Outlet malls

You get excited when an outlet mall opens near your hometown.

Buckeyes fans

They're EVERYWHERE! You root for the Bucks even if you didn't go to OSU.

Lebron James

You either want to cheer or vomit when you hear his name.

North or South

By the lake (north) or by the river (south).

Extreme cold/heat

School has been canceled for extreme cold or extreme heat.

You measure distance in minutes

I learned that Kentuckians think I'm weird for doing this along with all other non-Ohioans.

Ā Deer season

We think it is and treat it like a national holiday.

Ā Corn hole

It is without a doubt at every outdoor occasion.

Ā State or county fairs

You've been to a state or county fair at least once in your life.

Ā O-H

I-O! If you know, you know.

Ā Living near a university or college

Everyone lives 30 minutes from one.

Ā You think every pro-football team wears orange

Bengals or Browns baby!

Ā Corn fields

You can see one, are in walking distance or have one in your backyard.

Ā Ohio references

You get really excited when a movie or TV show references Ohio.

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.
