Michigan- the Great North. It’s a place like no other and its residents aren’t afraid to tell you so. Nor will they let you forget the state’s pride and joy- the UMichigan (sorry not sorry MSU). If you’re an out-of-state Wolverine- all the Michigan natives will have figured out before the name of your Chicago suburb could even leave your mouth.
A typical first-time conversation with a Michigan native goes something like this:
Me: Where are you from?
Michigander: *shoves their hand towards your face while pointing at freckle on their hand*
* Walking to class like *
While the first sow may be pretty and fun- all Michiganders know it’ll turn into brown sludge and make walking to class that much more annoying.
Sure we all agree Ohio is the worst, but Michiganders REALLY hate them. Who’d of thought the greatest rivalry ever existed started 180 years ago.

It’s not a Michigan autumn without at least one trip to the local cider mil- complete with apples, hot cider, and fresh donuts.
The “Upper” is a mythical tundra and after hearing all the rumors you’re pretty sure its inhabited by a Yeti. Not even in state students fully understand it or the people that live there.
Turns out the Michigan summers really are something to sing about.
No computer is complete without a Block M and Chicago skyline stickers, since every other out-of-state student is from there. * TFW you buy your first stickers*
