These were on spark notes idk I'm just pasting them here bc they're all true. Sorry about having more than 10 oops.

You know you're from Orlando when:

-You look forward to hurricanes. Not because youre some crazy adrenaline junky that thrives on danger, but because you know a hurricane almost always guarantees you at least one day off school.

-Not only do you know when to avoid tourist attractions, but you also rarely, if ever, pay to get in (everyone seems to have an aunt or uncle that works at Disney or Universal).

-Your family vacations usually consist of going to a beach on the other side of the state.

-FCAT is the bane of your existence.

-You know that Chick-fil-A is the best fast food around, and you always seem to get a craving for it on Sunday.

-You know what OBT stands for, and it strikes a little bit of fear into your heart every time you hear someone say it.

-You know where all the good, tourist-free beaches are.

-You sometimes go to tourist spots like the Florida Mall and amusement parks just to people-watch and guess what countries theyre all from.

-Half your school seems to work at Publix.

-Youve eaten gator tail at least once, and (whether you love it or hate it) you have a very strong opinion about it.

-Youve gotten at least one free Orlando Magic's ticket, but probably have never actually gone to a game.

-You know the difference between heat lightning and storm lightning, and neither one is scary to you anymore.

-You know that not everyone that lives here is blond and super-tan, and it annoys you when people you meet say, Youre from Florida? But youre not that tan!

-As soon as temperature averages dip below 70 degrees, you turn your heater on.

-You dont know how people survive without central air conditioning

I'm not from Orlando (I just go to school here, I'm from SoFlo) but I can agree with all of these
