Thinking of moving away from the Midwest?

If you're okay with these things; you probably are.

1) You'll hear "Oh, my gosh. Say that again. It's so cute."

It's like you speak another language- except all you did was say "bag".

2) You'll never not have hotdish, only casserole.

Sad, sad casserole.

3) You love cheese Curds? Yeah. Forget those.

Well, you can find fast food cheese curds. But real, fresh cheese curds aren't gonna happen.

4) You'll NEVER be able to explain why Wisconsin Dells is THE family vacation to have.

A whole town of water parks, what's hard to understand?

5) Everyone makes a hype about MOA, which is sincerely just a big mall.

It's really not that great.

6) There are no Culvers. You'll miss those Butter Burgers.

There is NOTHING that compares.

7) Other state fairs can't even be compared to the "Minnesota Get Together".

Minnesota has the largest, and best state fair. Good luck finding cookies by the bucket or all you can drink milk anywhere else.

8) People aren't as nice, or maybe just less invasive.

No one really just walks up and starts asking personal questions at the store, or on the street, or at a restaurant, or anywhere.

9) No one else understands the lakes have real beaches too- and it's okay to spend your whole summer there.

It's the closest to the ocean we have, and other people won't get that.

10) You WILL laugh when people complain about cold weather- because you were shaped by the cold. (Like, REAL cold.)

"You think 30 degrees is freezing? Please. Drop it 60 more degrees and we can talk, Karen."

11) You probably won't know what to do not just seeing corn and soybeans.

I mean, it's great. But it's a lot to get used to.

You're okay with all of this?

You are ready to move away!
