"Does everybody have an accent...?"

The Top 10 Questions People Ask Wisconsinites
CollegeScholarships.com

Whenever we leave Wisconsin, people ask us why we're weird, even though they're the weird ones. Here's a few of the common questions I've been asked while out of state.

10. "Do you love the Packers?"

This question should not be a question, considering there are no other teams to cheer for in Wisconsin, and the Packers are awesome.

9. "Do you eat a lot of cheese?"

I guess letting you know that I have at least five different types of cheese in my fridge at any given moment answers this question.

8. "What's snow like?"

It's cold.

7. "Have you ever milked a cow?"

I always laugh when I get this question. While a huge portion of the land in Wisconsin is used for dairy farming, I personally have never milked a cow.

6. "Why can't I pronounce any of the names of your cities?"

From Kaukauna and Wauwatosa, to Waukesha and Oconomowoc, I guess I can't say I blame them for asking this one.

5. "What's in a cheese curd?"

You don't ask what's in a cheese curd. You eat it, and then you realize you want another one. I guess this is one of the factors that accounts for the 27.7 percent of our state's population that is considered obese.

4. "Where's up north?"

Up north is where the deer are killed, and the beers are drunk.

3. "Does everyone have an accent?"

We don't have an accent. You do.

2. "A stop and what?"

A stop and go light.

1. "What's a bubbler?"

This has to be the biggest discrepancy between Wisconsinites and foreigners. A fountain is something that they usually put in parks. A bubbler is what you drink out of while at school.

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.
