1. Spring break or the beach does not excite you. It's cheesy, but you really identify with the saying "I live where you vacation."
2. It's soda. Not pop. Anytime you hear someone order a pop you laugh and automatically know they're using the wrong word.
3. Publix. Need I say more? You know Publix is the holy land with the best subs you've ever had. It's sad people actually have to live without them.
4. Your "winter clothes" are not winter clothes. Your closet has three long sleeve shirts and two hoodies, probably with your high school's name on the front.
5. Seasons really amaze you. Leaves changing colors or snow on the ground means thousands of pictures. The only season you're used to is one with crowded restaurants and tons of bad snowbird drivers.
6. 60 degrees is cold. Freezing, actually. Time to bust out your hoodie and get ready for winter.
7. Disney World is a regular vacation spot. You know every ride front to back and paying anything other than the Florida Resident Discount is so strange to you.
8. You don't notice humidity. You know exactly how to do your hair so it is not affected and sweat is an everyday thing, you've given up trying to hide it.
9. Flip flops work with every single outfit. You have nice and casual pairs and they can be worn at any time.
10. You have had some ridiculous tan lines. Flip flop or sock tan lines, watch or bracelet tan lines, you name it, it's probably left a weird looking tan on a Floridian's body. Even my earrings have left tan lines.
11. You understand the annoyance of love bug season. Gross, but you also know dryer sheets do the trick.
12. Alligators and sharks are definitely not your biggest fear. They're a part of Florida wildlife and you just always assume they aren't around or won't bother you. However, if an alligator got too close you know running in a zig-zag pattern would (hopefully) help you outrun it.
13. You get annoyed, but that's OK. You hate the heat, the tourists and the snowbirds, but Florida will always be your home.
