Minnesotans face struggles like anyone else, although chances are most of our daily struggles are complete #firstworldproblems like having too many lakes to choose from. Here are 13 that everyone in MN deals with from time to time:

1. When there are so many places in Minnesota you want to visit, and you just don't have the time!

Winter always comes too fast - so take advantage of it and see some gorgeous frozen waterfalls and snowy hills!
2. Having too many mosquitos around.

3. People are too nice! (and too helpful!)

4. When there's construction all summer long.
