1. You must go to Disney almost every weekend

No. Not every Floridian loves Disney. We don't all go dancing and having fun in Magic Kingdom with Mickey and the princesses. There are actually people in Florida who haven't even been to Disney (weird, I know). And have you seen the prices for Disney? To even go to Disney one day is $100! It would be nice to go as often as we please.

2. It's the sunshine state it NEVER RAINS!

False. In the summer, it rains almost every single day. In Florida, we have crazy weather; it rains one minute and then next it's all sunny and birds singing (okay, maybe not birds singing).

3. It's always hot in Florida, don't you miss the cold?

We have a really nice "winter." It may not snow, but we have cold days and night in the winter. Out winter is just enough to to wear a cardigan or a light jacket. That is probably most of Floridians favorite season anyways.

4. Summers must be great there!

Ha, I wish! When it's summer I can't even go outside without wanting to pass out! Between the humidity and the heat, it's insane! You want a good hair day? Well you're not going to get it in the summertime in Florida. You can walk out the house with nice straightened hair and next thing you know you have frizzy hair.

5. You must be at the beach everyday!

That is a big no. Especially if you live in central Florida. We don't have beaches five minutes from us. We have to drive out 45 minutes to an hour to get to the nearest beach. Who would want to drive there every day?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
