The time has come to migrate home for the holidays, and I sure am happy 'home' is sunny Jupiter, Florida.

Fall semester is over and Christmas is right around the corner. Many of us were lucky enough to have come home a time or two during the last few months, but others who may be in a school out-of-state might be seeing home for the first time since August. And although it can be a relief to be home after so long, the chaos of the holidays with relatives, trying to see as many old high school friends during your month home and getting reacquainted with the norms of home life can be challenging.

I am not a native Floridian, so claiming this state over my roots in Texas is hard. But coming home from a semester of school calls for some relaxation and I am so thrilled to have the beach so close by.

Here are five reasons why Florida is the best state to call home!

1. Year-Round Warm Weather

You never have to buy more than a light jacket when you live in the sunshine state. The warm weather can make dinner on the back patio a year-round occasion and never have to turn on the heat inside your home.

2. Sand Instead of Snow

There are so many ways to enjoy the beach. Whether you are there to meditate, go fishing, or just get a good tan, having the ocean so close by can definitely make home very relaxing.

Florida is notorious for its beautiful, sherbet sunsets.

4. Acai Bowls Always Close By

If you're a Floridian, you know just how heavenly a good açaí bowl can be. So many different combinations of fruit with sweet flakes of coconut can be the perfect start to a Saturday morning or an easy-going, beach Sunday.

5. Natural, Green Beauty

One of the best parts about this sunny, happy state is that there is lush greenery in every direction.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
