13 Struggles Everyone In Minnesota Can Relate To

Minnesotans face struggles like anyone else, although chances are most of our daily struggles are complete #firstworldproblems like having too many lakes to choose from. Here are 13 that everyone in MN deals with from time to time:

1. When there are so many places in Minnesota you want to visit, and you just don't have the time!

Winter always comes too fast - so take advantage of it and see some gorgeous frozen waterfalls and snowy hills!
2. Having too many mosquitos around.

Yep, Minnesota life.
3. People are too nice! (and too helpful!)

Once in a while we get overenthusiastic, and all stop to help someone. It might cause some traffic when we all pull over but it's worth it.
4. When there's construction all summer long.

But again, it's worth it, right?
5. Too many lakes to choose from!

10,000 choices makes decisions pretty hard.
6. Running out on Sunday.

Guess it's time for a trip to Wisconsin.
7. Speaking of Wisconsin... when you really love your state but wish you had different neighbors. Because ours just aren't quite on our level.

8. When you're at the State Fair and want to eat EVERYTHING, but are already full.

Who else experiences this every. single. year?
9. When you really think you don't have an accent but someone proves you wrong.

But we don't sound as funny as they think.
10. Having too many friends and family.

Nobody wants to leave so it's hard to coordinate your schedule with all those amazing people.
11. Living in cities that are so healthy and clean.

I mean, is this even real city life?
12. Loving Minnesota so much, but still wishing it wasn't as cold.

It's not like we'd leave, but if it could just warm up a few degrees - or if the wind would just stop, really.
13. When you have to constantly justify your decision to stay in Minnesota.

Because why don't people just realize how awesome it is already?
