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.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
