Point Loma, San Diego is a place full of dynamic people, unique events, hidden hotspots and incomparable novelties. Some days, you walk down the street to your favorite Mexican food “restaurant,” running into 15 homeless people on the way and other days you are driving down the street, losing count of the million-plus dollar homes on your left and right. This small town is really in a league of its own, and there are just some things that you only understand if you are a true PL kid.

1. Driving the cliffs, but immediately turning around after you pass Nobes.

2. The struggle of climbing down to Garbage.

Seriously, that damn rope is going to break someday soon.

3. 1502. PLOB.

4. F*** La Jolla. Not really, but kinda.

Will the feud ever seize to exist?

5. Buying alcohol from Trader Morts and the "liquor store by Stumps."

You know why.

6. Going to Ortiz's and accepting that you will see everyone and their mother there.

7. Ordering the pink drink and doing sake bombs at Sushiya.

And praying you don't see any adults who know your true age while you're doing so.

8. The huge different between "PL" and "OB."

It is way more than just a zip code that separates the two towns.

9. Green St., the "Million Dollar" spot, Whittier St., etc.

10. Silently shunning anyone who isn't a local when they go to No Surf.

Excuse me, who do you know here?

11. Attractive people running the cliffs... constantly.

Like cut that out you're already hot and skinny.

12. The battle of the taco shop, who will win?

Ortiz's, Adalberto's, Nico's, Roberto's and Cotijas are all winners when you're hungover.

13. Realizing that there are just some guys who will never leave the top of Nobes.

14. Going to SDSU to party when you're still in high school.

And feeling like a badass for it.

15. "Want to get an acai bowl and eat it at the cliffs?"

Have your $5 cash ready and easily accessible.

16. Accepting that you will be asked for money from homeless people at every stop light in the Sports Arena area.

Sorry, I'm buying an acai bowl with that money.

17. "Joint Loma."

Oops, I mean "Point Loma".

18. Watching people from out of town get aggressively yelled at when they bring glass down to No Surf.

Beware the King of Nobes.

19. Knowing that the circle of PL moms who talk know everything about everyone; so good luck trying to do something scandalous and getting out unscathed.

20. Going to the OB Hookah lounge when you have absolutely nothing else to do with your life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
