After living in Florida for just about a year and visiting it countless times before I started my Disney College Program, I consider myself an honorary Floridian. I got to know the weather, the people, and the businesses all unique to the state. Florida just isn't for everyone, and here are 10 reasons why.

1. It's (almost) always warm.

Who would want to live somewhere where it's 70 degrees in December?

2. Theme Parks. So many Theme Parks.

Yeah, theme parks are fun, but when is it just too much? Universal Studios, Sea World, Busch Gardens, and more?

3. Disney World is basically its own city.

Come on Mickey, you're monopolizing the state of Florida and we all know it.

4. There are beautiful beaches on both coasts.

That means there are probably sharks nearby. No thanks!

5. Florida doesn't have a state tax.

You mean the state won't be taking money out of my checks? Well, that's just ridiculous.

6. Publix is pretty much the nicest grocery store in existence.

It'll put your favorite Meijer, Walmart, or Kroger to shame.

7. You'll probably be tan for most of the year.

Gross.

8. Too many beautiful places to visit.

Celebration, St. Augustine, Key West, Tarpon Springs, Ft. Lauderdale, the list goes on and on. Who has enough time to visit them all?

9. Florida is home to a relatively new Major League Soccer team going into its second season this year.

All of that state pride for soccer and the color purple? Yeah, I'll pass.

10. Great food, nightlife, and always something to do on the weekends.

Between the theme parks, downtown Orlando, the beaches, Miami, and the sports, it's difficult to not find something to do when you need a night out. What if you want to just curl up in bed with Netflix?!

It's plain to see that there are plenty of reasons why moving to Florida is a bad idea.

(But I'll take my chances.)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
