Living in Illinois changes your perspective on cities, food, and local culture.

If you live in Illinois long enough, you just won't look at things the same ever again. Here are 10 ways that living in Illinois totally ruins you.

1. In comparison to Chicago, other cities look so small and unsophisticated.

2. We are totally unimpressed by your shopping options.

3. We can't believe other states nightly "news" is about something boring like the installation of a speed table.

4. Cracker crust pizza totally disgusts us.

5. No one knows how to properly cook a hot dog. NOBODY.

6. No one has trails and parks as beautiful as the ones we have here.

7. They might not always be "good," but our teams are always in the news.

8. Unless your river flows in reverse and is green, we are not impressed.

9. For other states, such a scene might be a rarity, but for us it is commonplace.

10. No one is that cool mix of nice but tough that Illinoisians are.
