1. Everyone Will Assume You Lived In An Igloo<\/h2>\n

When it comes to most outsiders, all they know about Alaska is that it\u2019s cold and it snows a lot, so I guess it makes sense that they\u2019d think you live in a dome-shaped house of ice and snow. Thankfully, that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n

2. Snow Machines Usually Make Snow<\/h2>\n

What Alaskans call \u201csnow machines,\u201d the rest of the country calls a \u201csnowmobile.\u201d If you start talking about how fast your snow machine can go in the lower 48, expect some confused looks.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ll Be Asked About Penguins At Least Once<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

A common misconception about Alaska is that because it snows and it\u2019s cold, there must be penguins everywhere. You\u2019ll meet at least a couple people that will assume you own one of these tuxedoed birds, despite the fact that they only naturally inhabit the southern hemisphere.<\/p>\n

4. People Might Find Your Obsessive Use Of Duct Tape Strange<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Breaking things is nothing to worry about in Alaska. After all, duct tape fixes everything. After years of growing up in Alaska where it\u2019s harder to get things, most residents are probably used to repairing broken stuff instead of buying new.
\nYou\u2019ll quickly discover that most Americans aren\u2019t quite so handy.<\/p>\n

5. Look Forward To Normal Hours Of Sun<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re leaving Alaska, it will be nice to have a more consistent sun schedule in your life. No more long, long nights or time changes.<\/p>\n

6. You Can Stop Fearing Mosquitos<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve survived Alaskan mosquitos during the warmer months, bugs anywhere else won\u2019t be much of a problem. Sure, everywhere will have insects that bite but fear not. They\u2019ll be a fraction of the size of things you\u2019re used to swatting.<\/p>\n

7. Someone Yelling \u201cLights Out\u201d Won\u2019t Be So Exciting<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Moyan_Brenn<\/div>\n

Unfortunately, \u201clights out\u201d in the lower 48 just means that it\u2019s time to go to bed, not that outlandish green lights are stretching across the starry night sky.<\/p>\n

8. \u201cIs Alaska Actually A State?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User breki74 (edited)<\/div>\n

For some reason, many Americans are still convinced that Alaska is somehow lesser when it comes to statehood, assuming that it\u2019s either just a territory or really part of Canada. This general level of ignorance about the state is sure to annoy you if you leave.<\/p>\n

9. No Temperature Will Meet Your Definition Of \u201cCold\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User leighblackall<\/div>\n

Most people in the lower 48 have never felt true cold, at least not what you consider to truly be cold. Once you\u2019ve gotten used to bundling up for the day in the midst of an Alaskan winter, you\u2019ll be ready for any weather that comes your way.<\/p>\n

10. People Won\u2019t Believe Reindeers Are Real<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

While they weren\u2019t originally native to Alaska, this animal has since become pretty popular in the Last Frontier. However, when it comes to most Americans, they put Santa\u2019s pets in the same category as a unicorn. You\u2019ll just have to prove them wrong.<\/p>\n

11. There Won\u2019t Be As Many Power Outages<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User jkbrooks85<\/div>\n

While certain areas of Alaska tend to lose power frequently thanks to extremely long power lines stretching through rigid terrain and all of the freezing temps, most parts of the country don\u2019t have the same problem. If you\u2019re leaving Alaska, look forward to some steadier lights.<\/p>\n

12. Everyone Thinks Alaska Is Cut Off From The World<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Gustabo da Cunha Pimenta<\/div>\n

There tends to be this assumption for some reason that Alaskans don\u2019t have internet access. Obviously that\u2019s not the case\u2026it\u2019s just a lot more expensive.<\/p>\n

13. People Will DEFINITELY Find \u201cEskimo Ice Cream\u201d Strange<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Andrea Pokrywinski<\/div>\n

Also commonly referred to as Akutaq, it might be difficult to convince new friends to try this mixture of whipped animal fat and berries. At least that just means there\u2019s more for you.<\/p>\n

14. People Might Find Your Espresso Addiction Strange<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User ilya_ktsn (cropped)<\/div>\n

It\u2019s easy for most people to understand having a cup of coffee in the morning\u2026but espresso? Isn\u2019t that a bit excessive? Until someone has experienced the long nights and cold weather in Alaska, they\u2019ll have trouble understanding your love and need for caffeine.<\/p>\n

15. Look Forward To Some Jet Lag<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User BVStarr<\/div>\n

If you\u2019ve leaving Alaska, expect the time change to mess with you a bit. The further east you\u2019re headed the more it will affect you. At least you\u2019ve had a lifetime of practicing weird hours of daylight.<\/p>\n

15. People Will Assume You\u2019ve Never Felt Warmth<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User The U.S. Army<\/div>\n

Unless someone has personally talked with an Alaskan, there\u2019s a good chance that they\u2019ll assume there are no warm summer months in this state.
\nWhile Alaskan summers might not be the same as sitting on a beach in Florida, there\u2019s still plenty of time to bust out the shorts in many places.<\/p>\n

16. Four-Wheel Drive Isn\u2019t Always A Necessity<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User William Brawley (cropped)<\/div>\n

While 4-wheel drive can make life exponentially easier in the Last Frontier, winters aren\u2019t quite so intense elsewhere. You might want to swap out the 4WD for something more gas efficient.<\/p>\n

17. People Will Compare You To Bear Grylls<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User lwpkommunikacio<\/div>\n

Get used to people thinking you\u2019re a survival expert. With Alaska so far away from everywhere else in America, many outsiders think that it\u2019s full of people killing bears and building fires in the snow to survive. Thankfully, they\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n

18. Seafood Won\u2019t Be So Fresh<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User That Irish SOB<\/div>\n

Alaskans are spoiled when it comes to food, they get the freshest fish and tastiest game meats around. Expect to be disappointed if you\u2019ve leaving the last frontier for somewhere with less wildlife.<\/p>\n

19. You\u2019ll Have To Learn How To Love Air-Conditioning<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Instant Vantage<\/div>\n

Thanks to the mild summers in Alaska, air conditioners aren\u2019t really much of a necessity meaning that very few houses have them. If you\u2019re moving somewhere in the lower 48, especially the South, expect things to get a bit toasty.<\/p>\n

20. \u201cHave You Been On A Dogsled?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User The U.S. Army<\/div>\n

This might shock outsiders, but there are cars in Alaska\u2026they\u2019re even the same brands that you\u2019ll see in the lower 48. Unless someone is far out in the wilderness or racing, people don\u2019t really use sled dogs anymore.<\/p>\n

22. You Might Want To Lock Your Doors<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User *sax<\/div>\n

While it can be tempting in Alaska to dismiss home safety efforts thanks to the sparse population, most places in America aren\u2019t so convenient. It\u2019s usually a good idea to always lock your car and home, especially when you\u2019re not around.<\/p>\n

23. You\u2019ll Worry Less About Bears<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Simczuk<\/div>\n

While flipped garbage cans tend to be more of a problem than bear attacks, you might be thankful that these giant creatures aren\u2019t around when you leave. At least you\u2019ll have one less thing to worry about on hikes.<\/p>\n

24. Drives Won\u2019t Be So Long<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Lars Plougmann<\/div>\n

Long gone are the hours that it takes to get anywhere in rural Alaska. If you\u2019re somewhere in the lower 48, there\u2019s a good chance that everything you really need will be within an easy 10 minute drive from your house.<\/p>\n

25. You\u2019ll Fascinate Everyone You Meet<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User CarbonNYC [in SF!]<\/div>\n

Most people have never met someone from Alaska before and even fewer have taken a trip there themselves. If you\u2019re meeting new people in the lower 48, expect them to have plenty of questions about what life in the Last Frontier is like.<\/p>\n

26. It Might Be Awhile Before You See A Bald Eagle Again<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Carl Chapman<\/div>\n

While these patriotic birds can be spotted on a regular basis in many parts of Alaska, the only place you\u2019ll probably see them in the lower 48 is at the zoo.<\/p>\n

27. Bunny Boots Aren\u2019t Usually Part Of A Wardrobe<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User eliduke<\/div>\n

Specially made for extreme cold, most Alaskans have a pair of bunny boats somewhere around the house that they can whip out when the temperatures start to drop and the snow levels start to rise. Oddly enough, most people in the lower 48 won\u2019t even know what these are.<\/p>\n

28. You Can Stop Leaving The Car Running<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Wonderlane<\/div>\n

A common practice in Alaska, many people leave their car running during short trips so that they know it won\u2019t be frozen over by the time they need it again. Fortunately, most places in the country don\u2019t get that cold, your car will thank you for leaving.<\/p>\n

29. \u201cSo They Just Give You Money?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Tax Credits<\/div>\n

The concept of the PFD can be very confusing for out-of-towners. Yes, Alaska does give its residents a check each year for living in the state, but most of it usually goes to the increased cost of living in such an isolated place, one way or another.<\/p>\n

30. Nowhere You Go Will Be As Beautiful As The Last Frontier<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Umnak<\/div>\n

Once you\u2019ve lived in Alaska, no other place will seem quite so spectacular, as larger than life scenes seems to stretch for miles in every direction here.
\nLike any place, life in the Last Frontier has its pros and cons, but there\u2019s nowhere more awesomely unique in the country to call home. If you leave, it\u2019s a sure thing you\u2019ll miss it.
