16 Struggles Everyone In Kansas Can Relate To

If you live in Kansas, you know that the following 16 struggles are all too real:

1. Both our football...

3. What should we get to eat? KC BBQ...
Yelp
4. ...or tasty home-style cooking?

It can be hard to choose with so many delicious options.
5. Our immaculate prairies are tainted with these eyesores.

6. Kansans have to spend an arm and a leg on Christmas gifts.

Since everyone in the Sunflower State is so kind and friendly, you easily make new friends/more people to buy (or make) gifts for.
7. An everyday struggle: Do I sleep in or wake up early to catch the stunning sunrise?

Decisions, decisions...
8. With amazing college teams like ours, people have come to expect us to always win.

You don't know what that kind of pressure does to a person.
9. (While traveling out-of-state) "Do you have a feeling you aren't in Kansas anymore?"

Soooo hilarious! *eye roll*
10. Laws in certain areas prevent us from punching vending machines that stole our money...

So much so, in fact, that the National Climatic Data Center named Dodge City the windiest city in America (with an average speed of 13.9 mph).
14. With so many shops and roadside attractions, it takes us forever to get from Point A to Point B.

15. Beautiful Kansas storms put our lives in danger.

After all, you can't watch a tornado from your basement...
16. Finally, we have unrealistically high standards to live up to.

Kansas has produced many a pioneer, inventor and world changer... and we continue to do so every day.
