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.)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
