10 Signs You're From San Diego, California
Kimpton Hotel

I think just about anywhere you travel, you’ll see that people seem to have certain attributes that tie them to their city. Although San Diego, California has a range of diversity, many San Diegans share similar qualities. Here are some ways to tell if you are a true San Diegan.

10 Signs You’re From San Diego, California:

1. You think anything below 65 degrees is freezing.

If the weather app says it's going to be 64 degrees out, you better know to grab a jacket, gloves, and leg warmers because it's about to be a really cold day.

2.You hate it when people call California “Cali.”

Just no. You don’t know why you hate the word “Cali” so much, but as a San Diegan you just do.

3.You wear Rainbow Sandals.

If you are caught wearing any other flip-flop brand other than Rainbow flip flops, you are definitely not from San Diego.

4.You don’t know how to drive in the rain.

Okay, okay this one is a little stereotypical, but unfortunately it is very true. San Diegans just really don't know how to drive in the rain. It's a fact.

5.You forget that not every state has beaches.

You’re so used to having the ocean at a finger’s reach your whole life that when you visit somewhere like Colorado or Kansas, you automatically assume that they have a beach.

6. You always have sand somewhere. In your hair, in your car, in your bed. It’s always somewhere.

Because you're so close to the beach, there is bound to be sand somewhere and you can never seem to get rid of it.

7. You eat Mexican food ALL of the time and you LOVE it.

Mexican food in San Diego is the best, and all San Diegans know it.

8. You either are a surfer or have tried to be a surfer before.

San Diego is surf town central so everyone and their mother has tried surfing.

9. You’re tan all year round.

Being tan is just one plus to having perfect whether all year round.

10. You know the freeways like the back of your hand.

"The 5", "the 15","the 8", if you know, you know.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
