5 Ways To Tell It's Officially "Winter" In Florida
Alex Harvey

With Florida being, well, Florida, it can sometimes be difficult to realize when winter has truly arrived. Here are some hints to help you out:

1. The population of people with white hair increases faster than the sales of Apple products.

Two words: snow birds.

2. The weather becomes (slightly) more tolerable.

But only ever so slightly...

3. Rush Hour extends to Rush Days.


Ever had Rush Hour with like a million slow driving snow birds added to make it actual hell? Yeah...don't subject yourself to that.

4. Beach Santa makes a comeback.


Enough said.

5. Parking is also hell.


Hey! You know all those stores that you love to go to? Good luck finding a parking spot! #ThankYouSnowBirds.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
