Why the Midwest is the Best
Ahhh, the midwest, the heartland, the home of cornfields, open skies and beautiful lakes. As most of you reading this are either from the midwest or currently live here, you will more than likely agree with the next statements I am going to make. So, below I have listed what makes the midwest so wonderful and a few reminders to love it a little more <3
1. People from the midwest are super friendly :)
This stereotype just so happens to be true, and we're not mad about it! Research has shown that the midwest truly is the "friendliest" region of the country. Here is the research to prove it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/23/regional-differences-personalities-united-states-friendly_n_4137846.html
2. We have the most state pride
Midwesterners from every state are more than proud to be where they are from - especially when it comes to schools and sports teams (lets not bring in the whole MSU vs. UofM thing into this post).
3. The midwest is a cheap place to live!
Compared to other states, the midwest region is particularly affordable. Midwest metropolitan areas actually offer the best bargain on cost of living.
4. Good air
This is one I just found out about too. Research shows that the midwest has some of the best air quality in the United States. Read more about it here: http://health.usnews.com/health-news/managing-your-healthcare/environment/articles/2010/04/28/air-quality-better-in-northeast-midwest
5. Midwesterners care about family
Family is a big deal for midwesterners. According to a study done in 2008, half of adult midwestern residents have spent their entire lives in their hometowns, due to family. Read more about it here: http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2008/12/17/who-moves-who-stays-put-wheres-home/
With all of this being said, I say YES TO THE MIDWEST FOR BEING THE BEST! <3
