10 Reasons California Sucks
We Heart It

You've heard it time and time again. That dreaded, repetitive story told by native Californians on all the ways their state sucks. The consistent complaining that ensues when the words "Cali, "California," "West Coast" or "Golden State" are muttered. Here's the 10 complaints every Californian mentions way too often.

1. You can drive from the top of California to the bottom without ever losing sight of the beach.

Don't you hate that? Me too.

2. There are mountains everywhere you look.

That's the worst. Is it too much to ask for to have industrial buildings to look at while I drive?

3. There are two famous cities in one state?

These poor people. Good shopping, good food, and amazing views? The travesty.

4. The state is filled with surfers and skaters.

Um, Ew.

5. The people there, are like mostly welcoming of all people.

Gross, am I right? Human rights? No thank you!

6. California's musicians are sub par at best.

I think we can all agree that G-Eazy, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Guns and Roses and Snoop Dogg are all very average performers.

7. The music festivals are the worst in the country.

Coachella, Outside Lands, Stagecoach—all major disappointments.

8. A lot of the restaurants are turning healthy?

Who wants organic, chemical free and non genetically modified food? Sounds pretty disgusting if you ask me. Not to mention it's just wrong.

9. The weather is 75 degrees most of the year.

Naturally golden skin and no snow days. That sounds like somewhere I don't want to be.

10. The sports teams are all pretty good.

Winning just takes so much effort, I don't have the time to invest in that nonsense.

In case you didn't catch my drift, California is pretty rad. This whole article was a lie. There is no place better than California, we have everything.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
