Michigan State Pride

If You’re From Michigan, You’ve Done These 18 Things — At Least Once

By Serena Maria Daniels | Published May 17, 2015

There’s something special about the Michigan experience. We in the Mitten State just have a certain way about us that makes us unique. Maybe it’s the weather, our geography or our proximity to the Great Lakes that makes us do what we do. We think there are a few things that just about all of us Michiganders have experienced (OR SHOULD HAVE) at least once.

18) Had to explain you live in the Eastern time zone.

17) Have made a Biggby Coffee run.

5) Have tried feather bowling... Or have at least heard of this unique past time.

4) Have had to explain the vast difference between the Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula to out-of-town guests.

3) Have your kids get a snow day with only three inches of snow... And remember not getting one when there was a foot of it when you were a kid.

2) Star gazing in the U.P.

1) Have experienced an irrational hatred toward Ohio State.

So tell us, what are some things you’ve experienced that you think every Michigander has as well?
