Living in Florida has its perks but there are some disadvantages. But there are more advantages to living in Florida - one is that there is no snow and you live where people vacationed. Here are just Floridan things.

1. Pub Subs

The best pub subs is chicken tenders. Only the South will understand that it's only at Publix and the best time to get a chicken tender pub sub is when it's on sale.

2. Lovebugs

Nasty splats that cover your car a few months out of the year. Not really loved by anyone.

3. Kumquats

These are adorable little citrus fruits that can be found all over the place.

4. Sea Cow

In the South, we call them sea cows not manatees.

5. "It'll pass"

This phrase refers to the on again, off again rain showers throughout the day. Rain comes in short intervals especially during the summer.

6. South Florida is its own state

South is more "North" and North is more "South". Miami acts like New York.

7. Having Hurricane Days

Hurricane Days are real. But sometimes, it meant that you won't have school.

8. Knowing the layout of your local Publix

You know your Publix like the back of your hand.

9. Anything below 70 degrees is cold

Floridans will wear jackets and bring out the Uggs when it gets below 70 degrees.

10. Florida Weather

You have trust issues with the weather because you can literally get rain one minute and then it's sunny the next minute. It can also be winter in the morning and then summer as the day goes on.

11. Season Passes to Amusement Parks

Your family had the annual passes to Disney World or Universal Studios because it's in Orlando and you live in Florida.

12. Football Rivalries

Between Florida State and Florida, it's a love-hate relationship. You hate one team and love the other team.

As it goes without saying, but you would not have trade growing up in Florida for the world.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
