7 Reasons To Visit Julian, California
Paul Summers

Right in the middle of the mountains in San Diego County, Julian is a small and charming little town, home to great views, great pie, and lots of horses. With the green scenery and tons of good vibes, Julian is the perfect place to be. Here are 7 of the many, many reasons to visit Julian, California.

1. Everywhere you look, no matter the angle is a gorgeous view.

In the summer, you have crisp blue skies and sunny days, and in the winter, you may even see some snow. And don't forget about the many, many trees. You can see them for miles, and the green makes for a stunning view no matter where you look.

2. At night, the sky is always insanely clear and breathtaking, especially to us city folk.

The Dark Sky is by far my favorite part about visiting this place. The sky is so clear that you can see every star and every constellation. It’s such a beautiful sight, and it’s a real treat, especially when visiting from the not-so-clear city skies.

3. If you listen very carefully, you can hear complete silence, and it is so peaceful.

You know when you can actually feel silence? When it's so quiet that you feel it come over you? That's the kind of quiet you'll experience in Julian. How wonderful it is to take a moment to relax in peace and quiet.

4. Pie is always the go-to dessert of choice, for good reason.

Okay, let's get real. The pie is by far the best part about Julian. Now, you just have to choose between Julian Pie Co. Or Mom's (p.s, I prefer the caramel Apple Dutch from Julian Pie Co…).

5. Horses are literally everywhere and it’s completely normal.

Horses are a normalcy in Julian. You can see wild ones roaming around on the hills or the many ones on local properties. There’s even some walking down the streets in mid the le of town!

6. Every person you meet is friendly and welcoming.

Small town and country folk are a lot different that city folk. They’re a lot nicer. It really is a breath of fresh air.

7. Coming from the city, everything about Julian is such a breath of fresh air. Literally.

Speaking of fresh air, Julian’s got a bunch of it, literally and figuratively. The quiet, relaxing environment that this small town provides is just what you need to recharge.


Whether you're looking for a quick day trip or a full summer vacation, Julian should definitely be a strong consideration. With it's beautiful scenery, wonderful food, and friendly environment, it's the perfect place for families, friends, and loved ones to enjoy their time together with some fresh air and apple pie.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
