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.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
