12 Midwest unpopular opinions from someone who grew up on the east coast

In This Article:

Growing up on the east coast, there are things I say and do that will always stay with me. I thought it would be cool to go to college somewhere else so that I could experience new things and explore the world a bit more, so I decided to spend my college years at Michigan State University. All of the people on my floor freshmen year were from Michigan, so in many debates about things like "soda vs. pop" or our opinion on Buffalo Wild Wings, I would be on the not favored side. I thought I would share some of the topics that we argued the most about and see if any other non-Midwesterners can relate.

1. Soda vs pop debate

2. Meijer is not a God

3. Buffalo Wild Wings is very overrated

4. Sneakers vs tennis shoes vs Converse debate

5. Beaches vs lakes debate

6. The issue with potholes

7. Midwesterners have an accent, not me

8. The word "ope"

9. Corn fields are not fun to look at

10. Michigan is 10 years behind on new music

11. Midwest is 10 years behind on slang too

12. One thing we can all agree on though... the Midwest is beautiful

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.
