We know. It’s not always easy to be a Michigander. The struggle here, really is…real. We can relate. Between the nutzo weather, all the stereotypes about the place, and your constantly having to explain this crazy state to everyone, it can feel like a full time job just living here.

  1. Just when you think spring is around the corner…

  1. And shoveling the snow starts to feel like a never-ending task.

  1. When you see this and one thing comes straight to mind…

  1. When someone swears you have a Michigan accent.

  1. When the snow finally lets up and then you’re hit with construction season.

  1. And even with all the construction, you’re still contending with potholes.

  1. And then it’s humid season.

  1. Every time you mention to someone you’re from Michigan and they say, “You mean…Detroit?!”

  1. When you secretly know the real problem in Michigan is there are just too many lakes to choose from.

  1. And ultimately, you know that for all this, you could never leave.
