The Five Best Things About Florida's Hurricane Season

Not everything about hurricanes are bad!

The Five Best Things About Florida's Hurricane Season
NBC

Since it's been 10 years since the last major hurricane in Florida, some Floridians may have not been through a hurricane. Since I've lived in Florida my whole life and been through quite a few hurricanes, I have some experience. Because there are so many obvious bad parts about Hurricane Season, I thought I'd share some of the fun parts, too!

1. Hurricane Party!

Hurricane parties are the best! Everyone meets out in the street and hangs out. The adults usually drink, while the kids run around and play games!

2. No school!

For Hurricane Katrina, my school was closed for two weeks. It was a BLAST!

3. The excitement during the build-up of the storm

Will the tropical storm develop into a hurricane? Will it hit South Florida, or will it curve last minute? The anticipation!

4. Camping out during power outages

Just because you don't have air conditioning doesn't mean you can't have a good time! Some of my best memories were made during the power outages; it's like camping in your own home! Just light some candles, break out the flashlights, and let the fun begin!

5. When the hurricane weakens last minute and the weather isn't that bad

The first day of my senior year of high school was cancelled due to a tropical storm watch, but then the day came and it just lightly rained on and off. During those times, you can still play outside or run errands, and you get a free day off of school!

Hurricanes can be devastating, but lower-category hurricanes and tropical storms can sometimes be fun! Now you know that not everything about hurricanes are bad.

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.
