You know you're a Michigander at heart when...

Now that I'm back in Michigan for a bit, it got me thinking about how I know I'm a Michigander at heart and so I came up with the following list. You know you're a Michigan lover when:

• Someone tells you they're going on vacation "Up North" and you know generally what they mean. 
• When people ask you where in Michigan you're from, you use your hand as a map to show them.
• Michigan v. Michigan State (or vice versa) sports games are serious matters to you. 
• Snow days are just part of a regular elementary/middle/high school fun experience for you.
• You don't consider the weather to be really cold until it reaches 0 degrees Fahrenheit (and if you're hardcore you're not cold until it's -5 out!)

Here's to Michigan and being a Michigander!
