There's something truly special about being from the Midwest.
But a lot of people don't really "get it." That's 'cause they're not from there.
Without further ado...
Whoops. That was supposed to say "the Midwest." Oh well. In the winter, it basically is the Himalayas. Anyway, here are some pictures that only true Midwesterners will understand:First of all, there's a dress code.

Do you have to have a piece of clothing with a wild animal on it in order to live in the Midwest? No. But it certainly doesn't hurt.Remember taco nights?

As a Michigander, I personally feel a little attacked by this one and did not realize my favorite childhood dinner was something of a sham. What do non-Midwesterners do for taco night?!And before you go thinking Midwesterners like spicy foods...

The picture above is the Midwestern version of Hot Ones. And honestly, I'm a bit surprised to see the Sriracha on the end there. It might be a bit too much for many Midwesterners.If you've never had Puppy Chow, you are missing out, my friend.

And no, I'm not talking about dog food. I'm talking about the peanut-buttery, powdered-sugary ambrosia snack that is Puppy Chow (or Muddy Buddies). And speaking of Midwestern snacks...Cheese curds are king.

Whether you enjoy them fried (shout out to Culver's!) or cold and squeaky, a Midwesterner is never too far from cheese curds and their deliciously salty flavor.And don't forget the Ranch!

If you're not from the Midwest, you probably wonder what sorts of foods Midwesterners put Ranch dressing on. If you are from the Midwest, you're probably wondering whether any food in existence wouldn't be improved with this creamy white nectar.Get ready to hear a chorus of "Ope"s!
via: Twitter
What does "ope" mean, you ask? It's kind of a combination of "oh!" and "oops!" If you truly want to up the Midwestern charm, you should follow up with "Can I just sneak by you there?"You think traffic is bad where you are?

You've clearly never been stuck behind a tractor going 15 mph on a 55 mph highway. It's torture.We can't talk about the Midwest without mentioning the weather.

This side-by-side image of the same place only two days apart is a pretty good representation of what it's like to live in the Midwest. We have a saying there: If you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes. And just when you think winter is over...It's time for second winter.
via: Imgur
That's the winter that takes place a couple days after you've mistakenly packed away all of your winter clothes and finally started to feel hope for the first time in months.But instead of enjoying the warm weather, you're stuck doing this:

Every Midwesterner has made this exact same pose at some point in their lives. It's as universal as kicking the slush off the bottom of your car.Did you know that we have to shovel our roofs, too?
Otherwise, the snow could damage the roof, causing it to leak or even collapse. If you're lucky, it goes as smoothly as it did for this guy.Once the snow is finally gone, it's time for Corn Hole!
It's not just a game. It's a way of life. (OK, it's also just a game.)And spring?
via: Reddit
Forget about it. We skip right to summer in these parts. Although spring sounds like it'd be nice, there's a plus side to skipping it entirely...No spring cleaning!

So that's why my house is always such a mess. (That's the reason I'm going to use, anyway.)Other parts of the country don't know about Meijer.
Or about Sandy, the horse you can ride for just a penny! The other regions of the country sure are missing out!We're polite...sometimes to a fault.

Midwesterners deal with a lot of roadkill. Luckily, we can handle it with some humor.Goodbye...eventually.

Midwest culture is a big glass of white milk with dinner every night.— Alyssa (@Alyssa)1543277876.0
I personally hate milk, but it was always a beverage option at the dinner table. It didn’t matter what we were eating. Spaghetti. Roast beef. Tuna casserole. Milk was always there.

Accurate.
Midwesterners are very familiar with the "jump out of bed and run to the bathroom to hop into the shower" morning routine.That's quite the range!

They don't call it the Bible Belt for nothin'.Yep.

Be prepared.
If you wear your sandals on Monday, you can pretty much guarantee that you'll be back in your snow boots by Thursday.It's everywhere.
There are two seaons in the midwest: Winter and construction.We're all winners.

Corn pit.
You might be thinking, "What the heck is a corn pit?" Well...This is a corn pit:
We also love a good sawdust pile with pennies hidden in it. You know, for kids.This is what happens when you go outside with wet hair in the winter:
When we say it's cold, we mean it's cold. But we still know how to have fun.Score!
Many midwesterners use their porch as a secondary fridge during the winter, anyway. If you're ever looking for beer at a midwestern winter party, check the deck.Open house season!
