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.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
