Minnesota is a world of it’s own and the girls there are truly one of a kind. The beautiful beaches and lakes are some only people from Minnesota can appreciate. And let’s not forget about Martha’s bucket of cookies. These are signs you’re a Minnesota girl!
Tornadoes, flash floods, snowstorms, and 90 degree days. You have mastered the art of dressing in layers because it might rain in the morning, be sunny in the afternoon, and be snowing by night time. You have to be prepared for it all.
It’s not called the Great Minnesota Get Together for nothing. Everyone goes and you and your friends have been planning what you’re going to eat there for weeks. You know you have to stop at the Sweet Martha’s Cookies Booth.
Corn hole tournaments get intense. You play them at every social gathering and it’s seriously embarrassing to lose.
Fun Fact: His giant footprints filled with water are what became our over 10,000 lakes.
Getting your boating and snowmobile licenses were just as normal as getting your driver’s license. But you were probably more prepared for the first two vehicle certifications since you’ve been driving them illegally all your life.
Everywhere you go, people are wearing Gopher apparel. Even if the football team doesn’t win much, we still love them!
Little known fact: It stands for Every Day I Need Attention. It’s basically the Beverly Hills of Minnesota.
If it isn’t a blizzard outside, then it’s considered a beautiful day in MN. Especially if it’s sunny. Then jackets definitely aren’t necessary. It’s just a little chilly, right?
Walking around Minneapolis in high heels or roasting s’mores up in the Mesabi Iron Range, you’ve probably done both in the same week.
You have know everyone’s names, babysit their kids, and shovel each other’s driveways. It’s hard not to bond when you’re constantly battling the elements together.
It’s overwhelmingly huge, noisy, and the only people who actually go there are tourists and bored teenagers. Every store you’d actually go to in there can be found in another, closer mall.
For example, it’s hot dish, not casserole. It’s a water fountain, not a bubbler. And it’s pop, NOT soda.
You basically needed to be barricaded in your home by 5 feet of snow for the schools to even consider closing.
“Go up to the lake” is a general phrase and could be referring to any number of lakes from Lake Como to Mille Lacs to Lake Vermillion. You either have a cabin or are friends with someone who has a cabin. Either way, you’re going up to the lake a lot over the summer.
The Twin Cities is a center of culture and commerce, the small towns are adorable, and Up North has no shortage of water sports and other outdoor activities. Minnesota has the best of both worlds!
