5 Reasons Why I Hate Iowa

The harsh winter, the ungodly humidity in the summer, and the fact that in Iowa there are more pigs than people inhabiting the state, what could be better!?

We all know the feeling, growing up wondering if there's anything else in the world besides endless fields of grain, small towns, and being confused as the potato state (Incase you're still wondering, that's Idaho). But, living in Iowa is hard to beat, and here's the top five reasons!

5.) Vast diversity

Even though 92% of Iowa's land is used for farming, there is more than just farming happening. Cities such as Des. Moines, Iowa City, Ames and many more have amazing shopping, museums, and so much more. There is also much diversity in the landscape of Iowa. From the flat land in northern Iowa, the hills of southern Iowa and the many rivers that flow throughout the state, there is always an opportunity to see something new. 

4.) Alluring beauty

Sure, Iowa does consist mostly of farmland, but have you ever watched the sun rise above a field of corn in September? Have you sat upon a hill and watched below as cattle graze on a spring morning? Or viewed the golden dome of the capital on a sun filled summer day? Take in all of Iowa's beauty one glimpse at a time. 

3.) Simplistic lifestyle

An appreciation of the little things in life, for the land that most Iowan's thrive off of. A simple life where families still sit around the table, and talk about the day at school, where kids are taught valuable life lessons about appreciating what they've worked for, and most of all appreciating everything that God has given them. 

2.) Its people will never stop amazing me

They say the people of Iowa are the nicest around. We offer a helping hand when times get tough, cheer for each other throughout times of happiness, and support each other within the community. 

1.) No place will ever compare

It speaks for itself, no place will ever compare to Iowa. Though Iowa isn't for everyone, those who love Iowa, love everything about it.
