The Sunny State

As the weather gets colder in upstate New York is it the time of year when the snowbirds head down to the sunshine state. Those people who we all wish we could be, fleeing the frozen roads and the air that hurts our faces to be where it is sunny and at least sixty degrees even when it rains. With there being forty-nine other states to pick from so many people choose to live in Florida based on six reasons.

The Weather- We all know that the weather is 100% better than the weather in upstate New York, if you can get past the hurricanes. With everyone spending months at a time in the sunny state there is no real reason why they would come back to New York once the tundra is over!

The Attractions- With Florida being such a large state there is there so much that you can do. From Disney world, to Universal studios, beaches, and food. There is enough places to keep you busy for a lifetime.

The Cost Of Living- The cost of living is a lot cheaper than any New York housing, with there being no state income tax the sunny state is a perfect and cheap place to live. Making it more desirable for the people who are dealing with a high tax and snow.

The Sports- Anyone who loves sports will love Florida, with many major league teams that are either based in Florida or practice during their off season in Florida there is so many games of all kinds to go a see.

The Job Market- With there being so many tourist that come to visit this state the economy does very well. With any job or field you wish to go into there is a higher chance than a lot of other states that you will get the job of your dreams.

The Nature- This state is not all amusement parks and beaches. There are a lot of wildlife tours that can be taken while in Florida too. Rafting with manatees, boating with dolphins, and even being feet away from crocodiles while fishing.


I think we can all agree that the snowbirds have the right idea about moving to Florida, even if it is only for a couple of months.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
