Winter in Florida is something that only us Floridians truly understand.

It's a complex time of the year for us. While the rest of the world is making snow angels, we're still in a Summer state of mind. Although it is a weird time here in sunshine state, it makes it a little easier knowing that no one is doing this alone. Year after year, we face these few months together.

So for all of you not Florida people, this is is. This is what we go through. You might not feel our pain, but at least you get an idea of our hardships.

1. When the weather drops below 80 degrees.

2. Getting out of bed for your 8 a.m. when it's 70 degrees is impossible.

3. Your relatives from colder states make fun of you for being so cold.

4. You get ready for the day in a long sleeve shirt, but at noon it's back to 90 degrees and you might die.

5. Contemplating getting your coffee hot because it's November (even though it's hot outside).

6. Hearing Christmas music about "white Christmases."

7. Wondering what it's like to have class get canceled because it's a snow day.

8. Trying to get into the Christmas spirit, even though you were just in a swimsuit last week.

9. Everyone in your class says they've never seen snow.

10. Wishing that you could build a snowman.

11. When the one cold day of the year falls on the same day you planned on going to the beach.

12. Taking pictures with your friends, pretending you're all cozy in the 70-degree weather.

13. Seeing people decorate their palm trees in their yards with lights.

14. Forgetting what it's like to see your breath in the cold.

15. Realizing how thankful you are for Florida, regardless of your love/hate relationship with the Winter season.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
