You Know You’re From Florida When…#YouGetThisList

It’s no secret that the Sunshine State has an incredible amount of differences than her 47 neighbors to the north (Alaska and Hawaii are in leagues of their own) and native Floridians are proud of where they come from. Even if one has only lived in Florida a short while, one starts to understand and even become numb to the noteworthy idiosyncrasies.
