18 Signs You Live In Indiana

Indiana. Home. Home sweet, corn-infested home. There are so many signs that you live in Indiana. These 18 signs you live in Indiana however, are just a few.

1. Hey look! It's a cornfield!

Wow, I never would've guessed.

2. What day is it?

Is the Amish store still open? God bless America and God bless Fountain Acres.

3. Is it cold out?

It was raining five seconds ago and now it's hailing. Don't need a jacket, it'll be scorching in five to 10 minutes.

4. Could this road get any worse?

This statement is the equivalent to saying, "Well, at least it isn't raining," in some kind of cheesy movie. It got worse. So just watch out for that seven-foot deep pot hole up ahead; it'll probably swallow your car whole.

5. There's a redneck on every corner.

Sure there are nice people, but for every nice, sane person there's a guy that had the decency to build a backyard wrestling arena.

6. What do you want to do now? "I don't know, Wal-Mart?"

This is just the reality of living in Indiana. We've eaten already and all the other stores are closed, let's just walk around aimlessly for a good hour and a half.

7. What's outside?

The mosquitoes. Yes. Every summer. They attack. No thank you. I'll swell up and die right outside the door.

8. Kings Island!

What a perfect way to spend summer vacation: in Ohio.

9. "Don't pull a Bob Knight."

Don't touch that chair. Don't even look at it. Just walk away.

10. Everyone knows someone who has hit a deer.

I hit one last week and two of my relatives hit one yesterday. How are they all still alive?

11. Is that the tornado siren?

Yeah, it is. But I'm not going to the basement.

12. "Do you like the Colts?"

Um, yes but I'm a fan of the Broncos too. I mean, I really like the Broncos now.

13. Don't forget the bean bags!

Corn hole is a necessity. I don't care if we're going to a church cook out.

14. "Why is everyone going 20? The speed limit is 45!"

"Oh, it's a tractor. Figures."

15. Get excited. The Indy 500 is coming.

Yay! Move over Nascar!

16. You FLIPPED OUT when that guy from Indiana won a silver medal.

Way to go David Boudia! I can barely walk straight but still, you're awesome.

17. Marching band, marching band!

It doesn't matter how old you are, you still scream at the tops of your lungs when your favorite school walks out.

18. You hate it, but you love it.

Sure Indiana can be a little annoying. But, I mean, where else would you want to be?


You'd be lying if you say you don't sing along whenever you hear, "Back home again." Indiana is beautiful. A little bipolar when it comes to weather, but still beautiful. I wouldn't want to spend my life anywhere else surrounded by corn.

I love being a Hoosier. I love seeing a thousand cows every time I drive down a country road. I love corn hole, even though I'm awful at it. I love Indiana. It's just where I'm from.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
