1. Have you ever seen snow?

This seems to be the most popular question. I guess a lot of people don't realize that it actually snows in California and yes enough to go skiing and snowboarding. Thanks to resorts like Big Bear and Mammoth it's possible for me to build a snowman and a sand castle in the same day.

2. Do you surf?

I guess this one is more understandable because there is a large surf culture in California. Most high schools have surf teams, including mine, but football still reigns. Maybe one day I'll get around to changing this, but as of now I've never touched a surfboard in my life and I'm not the only one.

3. What celebrities have you met?

Just because I live in California doesn't mean I bump into celebrities left and right. Although, sometimes you're in the right place at the right time. My most notable sitings have been of Reese Witherspoon and Kylie Jenner. Then there was the time I walked out my front door and had a conversation with NSYNC star Joey Fatone because he was filming in my neighborhood. But like I was saying, these are rare occasions.

4. Why did you come HERE?

People tend to place an emphasis on "here" like Michigan has nothing to offer. California may seem like paradise but a lot of us dream of attending schools like Michigan State for many different reasons.

For me, it was the perfect place to create a home away from home and there's never a minute I regret my decision.

5. How far are you from LA?

No one ever asks me, "How far are you from Big Sur or Newport Beach?" Is Los Angeles really the most romanticized city in California? Besides, California is around 840 miles top to bottom so LA is pretty FAR for a lot of folks. I visit LA quite often but San Francisco is another story. That 7 1/2 hour car ride is pretty brutal so I've only made it up there once.

6. Of course, because I'm from Orange County I always get asked about the housewives.

Everybody wants to know about the infamous Orange County housewives. Ironically, the same Tamra Judge that threw a drink in Jeana Keough's face in season 6 was also once my Girl Scout troop leader.

7. Are you a liberal?

FACT: Not everyone that lives in California is a liberal. Historically, Southern California has swayed more conservative compared to areas in Northern California like San Francisco. Regardless, I believe both are restricting labels. Nowadays, you can't explain all of your political views with one word. Every individual takes a different place on the scale depending on the topic at hand. For me, this is the question I hate the MOST because it's not one I can or want to answer with a simple "Yes" or "No".

8. Is In N Out actually as good as they say?

This one is a little more complicated. In N Out is not the BEST burger and fries that I've ever had in my life, but it's a California staple. Our obsession for and loyalty to In N Out grows because we've grown up around it.

Starving after you spent 10 hours traveling? In N Out. Not sure what you're in the mood to eat? In N Out. Just got off an 8-hour shift? In N Out. Really late at night? In N Out.

What do I want after writing this article? In N Out. (My order: A number 2, everything on it, pink lemonade and 4 extra packets of spread.)
