In life, it can be so early to take things for granted. Especially the things that you see every day. Here's a small reminder of some reasons that we should be thankful to live in San Diego!

1. Perfect weather.

Welcome to sunny San Diego where the weather is always perfect! While we do have some overcast and rainy days, they’re so welcomed as a nice change, although we still adore our 75- degree days full of sunshine!

2. Diversity.

San Diego is such a beautiful city that is full of diversity. The city is filled with people of every gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, color, occupation, political opinion and income level. We are thankful that you can be yourself in San Diego.

3. Beaches.

(I've never related to anyone more...)

Beaches are a luxury that most of the country does not have, but San Diego is lucky enough to be right inland of the beach! With splashing in the water and sunbathing during the day, watching the sunset from the cliffs in the afternoon and holding bonfires at night to roast marshmallows, the beaches of San Diego are a beautiful place to spend your time.

4. Fantastic educational opportunities.

San Diego is home to many fantastic universities and junior colleges. San Diego gives the opportunities of attending San Diego State University, the University of California San Diego, University of San Diego and so much more. While SD may be a town full of excitement and adventure, it’s also a great place to get a higher level of education!

5. Public transportation.

Simply put, it’s so easy to get around San Diego. Through the trolley, taking you all the way from Santee to San Ysidro, you can easily get where you want to go! Using the Orange Line, Green Line or Blue Line, you can stop almost anywhere, including the Gaslamp District, Seaport Village, SDSU or Fashion Valley!

6. San Diego Chargers.

Everyone loves competition! It’s great to have a professional NFL team to cheer for! Go Chargers! Bolt Up!

7. Attractions.

One of the many things to be thankful for in San Diego is that you will never be bored! San Diego is packed full of things to do, including visiting Balboa Park, Sea World or the San Diego Zoo. Along with visiting these attractions, one can also stroll through the city looking at street art and stopping for a latte in a small café.

8. Sunsets.

I think we can all agree that the sky is beautiful no matter where you are, but San Diego sunsets just have something extraordinarily special about them. Every day, watching the sky red, orange, pink and purple is a blessing that not many get to experience.

9. Great food.

San Diego has a huge variety of amazing food! Whether you’re craving sushi, carne asada fries or pizza, you can find it all close by! This just adds to San Diego’s cultural diversity!

10. San Diego rush hour traffic.

OK, let’s be honest: we all hate traffic. Especially the horrible San Diego rush hour traffic that is inevitable if you’re taking the freeway anywhere in the early evening. However, it may be a good thing, as it teaches us the virtue of patience. So let’s all learn to look on the brighter side of every situation!

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.
