I moved from Florida to Michigan at a very early age, but I still grew up with one southern parent and with both cultures; it still surprises me with the differences between the two places. Y'all, it's a whole different world up here.

1. The Weather

In Michigan, it can get to 40 degrees and everyones in shorts but in Florida if it gets below 70, everyone freaks out and breaks out the winter jackets.

2. SODA

Honestly, nothing irks me more than someone calling soda, pop. It's soda. Ok? ok.

3. Snow

People from Florida have no idea how to drive in the snow. They get half an inch and refuse to drive, but Michigan people are wild they drive with 3 feet of snow on the road.

4. Snow Days

In Michigan we have like 10 a year, but Florida has rain days, or if they do have a snow day it's because they got an inch of snow.

5. Chicken Biscuits

They legit don't exist in Michigan. Why?

6. Sweet tea

In Florida you can get sweet tea at any restaurant that you go to, but up here they give you the dirtiest look you have ever seen. McDonald's should not be the only place that I can enjoy my favorite drink.

7. When the School Year Starts and Ends

Florida schools start in the middle of August, and get out in May. In Michigan, schools start at the end of August and gets out in June. Florida usually doesn’t have to make up snow days either.

8. Hardee’s

Ok this is more of a southern thing but seriously, Michigan we need more Hardee’s

9. Bi-polar Weather

Michigan’s weather legit changes every five seconds but Florida’s usually stays the same during the day

10. Seasons

Michigan has four seasons. Fall winter spring and summer. Florida has two humid/hot and dry/warm.

Overall both states are great and they both hold a special place in my heart, and even though I was raised in Michigan I will always long for Florida
