Everyone knows that when you see 'Florida' in the headline of a news article or on T.V. it is bound to be something unbelievable.

Yes we are known for our sunshine, beaches, and amusement parks, but there are some things that only residents can understand.

If you're from Florida you can probably relate to almost everything on this list.

1. Pub Sub

Man oh man, it's a good day when you can sink your teeth into the infamous Publix Sub. Everyone from Florida knows how undefeated these subs are. Subway doesn't even compare here. Not only are the subs great but you knew dinner was lit when your parents brought home that chicken box and sweet Hawaiian rolls. Publix is all around a great shopping experience. OH and did I mention the free cookies from the Bakery when you visit? Yum!

2. Hurricane or Beach Day

Florida has THE most bipolar weather I have ever seen. This picture is a perfect example of what it's like living in Florida most days of the year. You could be heading to the beach with clear skies ahead but behind you it looks like the gates of hell are opening. It's so bizarre, but it's just Florida !

3. Love Bug Season

Although these bugs are called love bugs they bring out the opposite emotion on every Florida resident. Keeping your car clean is not a thing once love bug season comes around. They are completely harmless but most annoying!

4. Lizards

There are lizards scurrying around EVERYWHERE! Seeing them around is apart of our everyday life.

5. Humidity

If there is ever a rare day that it is not humid in Florida, we know to say our thank yous to Mother Nature. 99% of the time your hair is frizzy, your clothes are stuck to your body, and you actually feel like you're melting if you're outside for too long.

6. Our Town Names

Florida is known for it's American Indian town names. Whenever family comes from out of state they always look so confused, but chances are we know how to say these without even thinking about it. Oh and the last part is definitely apart if Florida Living ;) LOL

Florida is a crazy state with even crazier people, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. There are so many hidden gems, beautiful nature spots, and this is what I call home.

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.
