Every winter we ask for warm weather but you gave us sweltering.

Dear Florida,

You are hot.

Not like damnnn girl you're hot, like it's so hot outside that you could cook an egg.

Heck, our bodies are practically halfway to poached every time we step foot into a car that's been in the sun for a couple hours.

Have you ever felt air that's too hot to breathe? Yep, that's us in our cars.

Yes, I know. Every winter we ask for warm weather but you gave us sweltering.

Okay so it's hot, right?

Whatever.

We keep the air conditioning running longer, we dress cooler and we don't go outside for prolonged periods.

We can handle that.

But then you throw the rain at us.

Every single day you take a giant piss on the entire state. Multiple times!

Yet the tourists remain.

It's sunny, then it's pouring, then there's a rainbow, then it rains again. Make up your mind.

Leaving the house? Don't forget your umbrella.

Oh, the news says it's not suppose to rain today? Think again.

Despite the weather, the tourists are in full swarm.

Forget the beach, natives are not welcome. Forget Disney world, forget the aquarium: their pasty white Northern bodies have taken over.

Isn't it time for winter yet?

Sincerely,

Floridians

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

We all have a love hate relationship with winter, lets be real here. The snow makes people forget how to drive, its cold, the roads are bad, and chances are, you will be spending a lot more money than you do during the other months of the year. If you’re from the Midwest, it seems to be that winter lasts for what feels like forever. But despite the struggles that winter brings, there are so many things to love about it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
