8 Questions Floridians Are Tired Of Hearing

Oh, Florida. One of the hottest travel destinations around. But for those of us who live there, we Floridians get some pretty strange questions on a daily basis.

1. "So, do you go to the beach everyday?"

No. As much we all wish we can be like a supermodel who can run out of the water looking as gorgeous as ever, that is not the case.

2. "Why aren't you so tan?"

So, I don't spend all my free time outside tanning and I may have the same complexion as Casper the Friendly Ghost, but I still live in Florida!

3. "Does everyone have a pool in their backyard?"

4. "Do you own a pet alligator?"

No. I mean, what kind of silly question is that? Alligators aren't pets.

5. "Do you go to Disney World, like, all the time?"

Although Disney is known as the happiest place on Earth, it is also known as something else... a tourist trap.

6. "How do you control your hair in such humidity?"

Moroccan Oil, Keratin treatments, flat irons... the list goes on.

7. "How far do you live from Miami?"

Miami: basically the only city in Florida that matters to an out-of-stater.

8. "Have you ever been in a hurricane?"

Yes. And it's really not as bad as you're making it out to be.

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.
