7 signs you're Californian

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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
