Living in Florida has its perks but there are some disadvantages. But there are more advantages to living in Florida - one is that there is no snow and you live where people vacationed. Here are just Floridan things.

1. Pub Subs

The best pub subs is chicken tenders. Only the South will understand that it's only at Publix and the best time to get a chicken tender pub sub is when it's on sale.

2. Lovebugs

Nasty splats that cover your car a few months out of the year. Not really loved by anyone.

3. Kumquats

These are adorable little citrus fruits that can be found all over the place.

4. Sea Cow

In the South, we call them sea cows not manatees.

5. "It'll pass"

This phrase refers to the on again, off again rain showers throughout the day. Rain comes in short intervals especially during the summer.

6. South Florida is its own state

South is more "North" and North is more "South". Miami acts like New York.

7. Having Hurricane Days

Hurricane Days are real. But sometimes, it meant that you won't have school.

8. Knowing the layout of your local Publix

You know your Publix like the back of your hand.

9. Anything below 70 degrees is cold

Floridans will wear jackets and bring out the Uggs when it gets below 70 degrees.

10. Florida Weather

You have trust issues with the weather because you can literally get rain one minute and then it's sunny the next minute. It can also be winter in the morning and then summer as the day goes on.

11. Season Passes to Amusement Parks

Your family had the annual passes to Disney World or Universal Studios because it's in Orlando and you live in Florida.

12. Football Rivalries

Between Florida State and Florida, it's a love-hate relationship. You hate one team and love the other team.

As it goes without saying, but you would not have trade growing up in Florida for the world.

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
