9 Things I Will Miss About Florida When I Move To Texas
Catherine Lewis

In a few months I will be headed West to Texas for graduate school. Even though I am super excited about moving to Texas, there are some things from Florida, the greatest state in America, that I will greatly miss. Yes, I know everyone in Texas thinks Texas is great, but that's because they have not been to Florida, and they clearly have not had a Pub Sub, so here is a list of all the things that I will miss about Florida.

1. Publix

Where do people shop when there is not a Publix? Where to people get Chicken Tender Pub Subs? How has anyone managed to live without a Publix? Do I want to know the answers to these questions?

2. Bento

I have grown to love Bentos between the sweet and sour chicken, the sushi, and the poke bowls. I don't want to have to look for another go to restaurant.

3. Disney World

Disney World is the greatest place on earth, so what am I going to do in a state that is so far from Disney. I mean are there even theme parks in Texas?

4. The laws

I just assume Texas is a lawless land where people are constantly getting into duels at the local saloon, so I am going to miss the laws. Don't try to fight me on this, I know I am right.

5. The news

No state has as many dumb stories as Florida. I mean name another state where a customer through an alligator into a drive-through window.

6. The beaches

Florida beaches > Texas beaches.

7. The alligators

You just get used to the Gators when you grow up in Florida. I mean there were a few in all your classes, you had one as a best friend until they stabbed you in the back and stole your friend group, and your cousin just got married to one. They are just a big part of life in Florida.

8. My family and friends

Ya I guess amongst the other things Florida has, my family and friends live here, so to put it in the least mushy way possible, I will definitely be leaving behind a huge part of my heart. I'm not crying, you're crying.

9. The fun


When you Google "Things to do in Texas", the first thing that comes up is the Alamo. However, when you Google "Things to do in Florida", the first thing that comes up is Walt Disney World. It does not take a rocket scientist, which both states have thanks to NASA, to figure out that Florida is just more fun!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
