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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
