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.

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*
