Sure, everyone’s got their own unique personality, but when you share a state you also share some common influences that shape who you turn out to be. These are huge generalizations not meant to be taken too seriously. Having said that, we’re pretty sure you’ll recognize every one of these Nebraska personalities.
The Sweet Grandparents

The Farmer

The Rancher

The Professional

The Hunter/Angler

The Soccer Mom

The Hard-Working Dad

The Avid Huskers Fan

The Artist

The Adventurer
