How To Celebrate Christmas Like A Floridian

1. Take your Christmas card picture at the beach

Instead of spending December inside, huddling near a fire for warmth, you can head to the beach and catch some sun rays. Make sure all your Northern family members know that you're still living in warm weather by sending out a beach themed Christmas card. Bonus points if everyone in the picture is wearing shorts!

2. Make a trip to Disney

While Disney has a reputation for being the happiest place on Earth, it is also one of the most festive places on Earth during the holiday season. From the decorations to the parades, Disney is the place to be during the month of December and, for Floridians, it's just a short trip away!

3. Christmas Movie Marathon

Everyone has a favorite holiday movie so the best way to see them all is to round up the gang and binge watch them. To take advantage of the Florida weather, marathon all of these movies outside with the help of a projector. Lay back on some blankets and enjoy the cool (not cold) night air.

4. Build a Sandman

Because Floridians don't have to deal with the wet mess that is snow, our snowmen are distinctly unique. Celebrate the warm weather with a sand-made snowman next time you go to the beach! Make sure to share a picture on social media to reiterate to your friends that you live in a warm-weather state.
5. Nights of Lights

Saint Augustine dresses up their historic buildings with lights so that the entire downtown area shines. Take a festive trolley ride and sing along to Christmas carols as you are driven past the best houses. End the night with a drink at the Tini Martini Bar, one of the best-decorated locations in the city!

6. Florida Decorations


Get more creative as you decorate for Christmas. Instead of the traditional reindeer statues in your yard put up some plastic flamingoes with Santa hats. Light up your palm trees along with your house. Even top your tree with a fake starship rather than the typical star.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
