6 Must-Do's In Orlando, Florida
Livability

It's been almost two weeks since I moved to Orlando and there are several things that I have discovered are a must. Whether it is spending tons of money at a park or just going out for a sub, Orlando has a lot of opportunities.

1. Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World. The most magical place on earth. Whether you go to one of the four parks, the two water parks, or one of the 33 resorts, there is something to do for the whole family. The best part about the resorts is, that you don't even need park tickets to visit. So if your in the area for a brief visit, or if you live here, just stop by one of the resorts for a quick meal or to do some shopping.

2. Universal

Harry Potter fan? If so, this is the place to be. Universal now has a Harry Potter World where you could actually visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You can also drink Butterbeer as you walk along Diagon Alley and pretending you are a wizard. Don't like Harry Potter? That's okay too, because Universal also has staples such as the Hulk, the Transformers and the Minions.

3. WaWa

Most people don't know what WaWa is, unless you're from the North or Florida. If you don't know what it is, it is a gas station that sells food. Not just your usual bag of chips and soda, but full lunch and dinner items such as flatbreads, salads and subs. My favorite dish is the macaroni and cheese with chicken tenders on top. It doesn't matter what you get at Wawa, it's an amazing experience, especially when it's topped with a milkshake.

4. Sea World

Despite whatever the news tells you, SeaWorld is a wonderful place to go. Its a chance to see live animals you wouldn't normally see doing things they wouldn't normally do. Its fun for the whole family, and in case you didn't know, SeaWorld now has the biggest roller coaster in Orlando.

5. Pub Subs

If you aren't from the south then you probably don't know what Publix is to begin with. It is a grocery store that is above all grocery stores. Not only do they sell your every day grocery needs, but they also sell the infamous, "Pub Subs." Publix serves these subs in a full sub or a half, and there are endless combinations that you could get. Whether it is a buffalo chicken sub or just a ham and cheese, there is no wrong answer.

6. Ale House

I love a good local bar, and Ale House is no exception. They are spread throughout Florida, but the one in Orlando will always have a special place in my heart. Not only does this bar have a great food and appetizer selection, including loaded french fries topped with chicken nuggets, but their drink prices are what appeal to me. If you want $10 pitcher of margaritas or $10 pitchers of sangria, this is the place to go. You could also get most cocktail drinks and beers for under $5. Ale house also airs most major sporting events on their multiple television screens, but I would get there early, because the place gets packed.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
