Let’s face it: the Midwest has a reputation. People call it “flyover country” and “boring.” And you know what? We’re inclined to agree. The Midwest – particularly Indiana – is SO boring that people should just never, ever come here. After all, there are no good reasons to. Allow us to illustrate what we mean: we’ve talked about this before, but here are ten MORE reasons to never move to Indiana, ever.

  1. It’s boring. There’s nothing beautiful here.

  1. There’s absolutely nothing fun to do here at all.

Roger Gerbig/Flickr What do you mean, “things to do?” We don’t have any interesting places to go during summer when it gets way too hot to go outside and have fun. And even if we did, it’s not like they’d be all that exciting.

  1. Indiana’s farmlands are an eyesore.

Greg Derylo/Flickr Who on Earth would ever, in their right mind, enjoy things like seemingly endless emerald green fields, cobalt blue skies, and dreamlike wind turbines dotting the landscape? Who cares about picture-perfect red barns, and old, historic homesteads? Take a look at all these totally boring photos of not-even-picturesque Indiana farms.

  1. There’s nowhere fun to explore.

Tom Gill/Flickr Indiana definitely doesn’t have any state parks to check out, trails to hike, or landscapes to explore. It’s all that super-boring farmland we just mentioned a minute ago. Yawwwwn.

  1. The towns here are less than lovely.

GPA Photo Archive/Flickr Hoosiers are friendly - TOO friendly, we say. And the towns we live in? Just as boring and bland as we are. And you can FORGET about escaping to some small-town paradise ‘round these parts.

  1. Indiana only has two seasons: hot and cold.

Tom Gill/Flickr There are no breathtaking wildflower blooms in the spring, and autumn is totally boring, with no brilliant colors or vibrant scenes to be found. It’s not like the Hoosier State has inspired jigsaw puzzles with its photogenic nature or anything. It’s just summer and winter out here.

  1. And winter is a frozen wasteland devoid of all things beautiful.

Joseph Gage/Flickr Winter here is the WORST, are we right? It’s too cold to do anything. You can’t even go hiking. Plus, it’s SO barren and ugly. A fresh layer of snow on everything doesn’t even make it more beautiful. It’s boring and freezing and there’s nothing to do when it gets cold.

  1. It’s all flyover farms, anyway.

Mark Taber/Flickr No city skylines = no reason to visit. And there are definitely no amazing skylines in Indiana (or across the pond in Illinois, either).

  1. There’s nothing to be proud of about this place.

Tom Gill/Flickr What, who wants to be excited about being the covered bridge haven of the Midwest? It’s not like they’re historically significant (or gorgeous) or anything.

  1. You can’t really enjoy the great outdoors.

Tom Gill/Flickr There are only 86 lakes in Indiana. What on earth. That’s next to none. Hello, Minnesota, anyone? 10,000 lakes? Indiana, you gotta step it up. These beautiful lakes are rookie lakes.

So, there you have it. Another entire list of reasons to never move to Indiana – and we think they’re pretty solid. But all joking aside, folks: living here is the best ever, and we couldn’t love it more.
