Every state has their own habits and quirks. Living in California, we sure have our own habits we live out pretty much every single day.

1) You say "The" before every freeway

When addressing freeways in other states it's common to refer to them without "the," but in California we do things a little differently.

2) The beach is your get away

Obviously, living so close to the beach there is no need to go extremely far to take a break and relax for a while.

3) You could eat In-N-Out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

In-N-Out. What else is there to say other than it's the go-to option for any meal for any Californian.

4) A sentence isn't a word without words such as, "like," "dude," "totally" and "even."

Sometimes, it's like common for Californians to use filler words in their sentences.

5) Rain is something that excites you.

Rain doesn't occur very often in Californian, but when it does some Californians might not be able to contain themselves.

6) You can sit through almost any earthquake without a scare.

Tornadoes? Oh my gosh, duck and cover quickly. Hurricanes? Board up the house and find safety and quickly! Earthquakes? Well, no need to scream and shout just take a seat and sit the rumble out.

7) You think California has the closet thing to real Mexican food

California obviously has the best Mexican food and there's really no argument about it.

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.
