Do you know anyone who’s considering a move to the Great Lakes State? Well, all Michiganders know that moving here is simply a bad idea. We’ve got too many people as it is — and there’s no way you’ll find welcoming neighbors or stunning scenery in Michigan. Be sure to share this list before someone makes a big mistake by moving to our terribly boring state.

1. Everyone knows that Michigan is just an ugly flyover state.

There's really nothing but bland flatlands to see from above, anyway.
2. There’s no way a “Great Lake” could ever compare to the beauty of an ocean.

It's common knowledge that lakes are tiny, murky, and terrible for swimming.
3. Michigan gets tons of snow in the winter — and nothing fun ever comes of that.

Snow means you're cooped up in your house with nothing to do for months at a time.
4. Detroit is a wasteland. There’s absolutely nothing to do in the Motor City.

You could drive around the city for hours and not find one activity worth checking out.
5. The whole state is just farmlands and cornfields… and that’s not the least bit scenic.

You certainly won't be taking any photos of these fields. Michigan is grey and dreary year-round.
6. The long drive to the Upper Peninsula just isn’t worth it.

What's up there, anyway? Some squatty trees?
7. Michigan really isn’t the place to be if you love arts and culture.

I don't know about you, but I've never heard of any cool sculpture parks or art museums in the so-called Great Lakes State.
