New story // Can you guess where I live?

So I just posted the first chapter to my new story
Flux and I would greatly apperciate it if you guys could check it out. I'm writing it for the Mibba Big Bang and I think I'm actually going to accomplish this 20,000 word count!

I've seen a few of these blogs already so I've decided to do one too.

Can you guess where I live?

Rules:
I'll give you hints
guess as many times as you like!

1. It's in the U.S of A
2. It's very easy to get a tan here
3. You don't exactly experience seasons much
4.The state is known for oranges
5. The beaches aren't too far away
6. Where I live is pretty close to a better known city here
7. Lots of college kids around
8. The football team is known as the gators

I think the last one is a giveaway.
