1. You think Rainbows are a reasonable walking shoes
If you live in SoCal you probably received your first pair of rainbows right out the womb. Never mind the fact that you don't actually spend that much time at the beach, you're rainbows are an everyday wear. You and your rainbows are one, you WERK in those rainbows. I'm sorry are those a pair of unbranded flip flops? yikes.
2. In LC you Trust
Okay so maybe you're not actually from Laguna Beach, but you basically are and LC would totally be your best friend regardless. She predicted your every high school move and "Come clean" by Hilary Duff was the soundtrack to your life. Beach trips were a must, even if you did live an hour away. If LC was a beach babe, you were a beach babe. Also, LC's drama always somehow coincided with your own.
3. You're way to chill about earthquakes
3.4 magnitude? Puh-lease, you use more force to mix the whip cream into your strawberry frappuchino every morning before school. Earthquake drills were never informative safety sessions but rather a gift from the Lord himself for making them in the middle of those reading quizzes you were never prepared for. Bonus ble$$ing if the fire department had to come. *thinks about starting actual fire so one of them could carry you out*
4. Layering has a completely different meaning
I'm sorry, the only layering I'm familiar with is putting my tank top over a plain white fitted top so I could meet uniform regulations. What am I supposed to do with this scarf and coat??
5. You were in a Beach Cruiser Biker Gang
Yea that's right, squad rolled DEEP in those bubble gum pink beach cruisers. Colors could vary as well--tangerine orange, ocean blue, etc. But everyone knew the true alpha had one of those legit wicker baskets on the front, none of that target plastic shiz.
6. Disneyland is a Day Trip
Disney's done in a day and you park hop like a BO$$. You know all the ins and outs of the parks and which fast passes are worth it. You get in, eff shiz up, and then BOUNCE. Some of us are even lucky enough to see the fireworks from our backyards. Some of us only go to Disneyland for like 2 hours, cuz we got it like that.
7. Yes, we did help start the UGG-shorts movement
Has it ever snowed in any non-mountain region of Southern California? No. Does it ever reach temperatures of below 50? Absolutely not. Did that ever stop you from wearing your UGGs every day to school. OF COURSE NOT. In fact the art of the UGG-shorts was brought upon by the lack off harsh weather conditions, us SoCal kids had to find a way for UGGs to coexist with our lifestyle. Thus the UGG and shorts combo was born.
8. In-N-Out is a major food group
Its not like we idolize the company or anything, we just understand any other form of burgers, french fries, and shakes are mere replicas of the one true divine In-N-Out recipe. In fact In-N-Out is a scientific measurement, its used as a benchmark to compare all other foods. Its sacrilegious to say something is better than In-N-Out. Even hipsters love In-N-Out, talk about attracting the masses.
9. You have no sense of geography for Nor-Cal
The entire northern part of California is truly an anomaly to you. Is everyone a farmer up there? What do they do for fun? When does California end and Oregon start? Sacramento is probably like the biggest city up there, right?
10. Weather is a Myth
Much like the boogie man, weather is simply another scare tactic parents used to convince you into doing things you didn't want to do. Like asking you to grab a jacket before you left or else "you'd catch pneumonia" if you didn't. Lieesss. If weather was a real thing then answer me this: Why are we all wearing Rainbows?
