Southern California Winters: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
I'm Moving to LA

Living in Southern California, we typically only experience two seasons: hot and mildly cold. But since we're so acclimated to our perfect 75-degree temperature, the winter months which are only mildly cold can make it seem like the end of the world.

Here are some of the worst things about the California winter.

1. It can be freezing in the morning, but once the sun comes out it's kind of hot.


You leave your house bundled up for the brisk 60-degree morning, but by 12 p.m. the sun comes out and you're sweating.

2. Having to drive when it rains.


So it's raining, but that means people forget to drive, right?

3. Everyone from anywhere besides California telling you "You don't know what cold is!"


We get it! It's not as bad here as it is where you live, but if we can't complain about it being too hot, we have to complain about it being too cold.

5. Can't wear Rainbow flip flops every day.


My Rainbow sandals are my best friends, and once it gets cold I have to wear close-toed shoes *cries*.

6. Having to break out the "winter clothes".


Most of our wardrobes consist of beach-friendly heat-wave friendly attire, so having to wear winter clothes is kind of a big deal to us.

7. Getting used to wearing winter clothes, then complaining when it starts to heat up again because damnit, we just got used to this!


8. In the end though, you love living in California, and probably wouldn't be able to handle the winter anywhere else so you'll just stay here.

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.
