After living in Florida for just about a year and visiting it countless times before I started my Disney College Program, I consider myself an honorary Floridian. I got to know the weather, the people, and the businesses all unique to the state. Florida just isn't for everyone, and here are 10 reasons why.

1. It's (almost) always warm.

Who would want to live somewhere where it's 70 degrees in December?

2. Theme Parks. So many Theme Parks.

Yeah, theme parks are fun, but when is it just too much? Universal Studios, Sea World, Busch Gardens, and more?

3. Disney World is basically its own city.

Come on Mickey, you're monopolizing the state of Florida and we all know it.

4. There are beautiful beaches on both coasts.

That means there are probably sharks nearby. No thanks!

5. Florida doesn't have a state tax.

You mean the state won't be taking money out of my checks? Well, that's just ridiculous.

6. Publix is pretty much the nicest grocery store in existence.

It'll put your favorite Meijer, Walmart, or Kroger to shame.

7. You'll probably be tan for most of the year.

Gross.

8. Too many beautiful places to visit.

Celebration, St. Augustine, Key West, Tarpon Springs, Ft. Lauderdale, the list goes on and on. Who has enough time to visit them all?

9. Florida is home to a relatively new Major League Soccer team going into its second season this year.

All of that state pride for soccer and the color purple? Yeah, I'll pass.

10. Great food, nightlife, and always something to do on the weekends.

Between the theme parks, downtown Orlando, the beaches, Miami, and the sports, it's difficult to not find something to do when you need a night out. What if you want to just curl up in bed with Netflix?!

It's plain to see that there are plenty of reasons why moving to Florida is a bad idea.

(But I'll take my chances.)

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
