10 Signs You're From San Diego, California

I think just about anywhere you travel, you’ll see that people seem to have certain attributes that tie them to their city. Although San Diego, California has a range of diversity, many San Diegans share similar qualities. Here are some ways to tell if you are a true San Diegan.

10 Signs You’re From San Diego, California:

1. You think anything below 65 degrees is freezing.

If the weather app says it's going to be 64 degrees out, you better know to grab a jacket, gloves, and leg warmers because it's about to be a really cold day.

2.You hate it when people call California “Cali.”

Just no. You don’t know why you hate the word “Cali” so much, but as a San Diegan you just do.

3.You wear Rainbow Sandals.

If you are caught wearing any other flip-flop brand other than Rainbow flip flops, you are definitely not from San Diego.

4.You don’t know how to drive in the rain.

Okay, okay this one is a little stereotypical, but unfortunately it is very true. San Diegans just really don't know how to drive in the rain. It's a fact.

5.You forget that not every state has beaches.

You’re so used to having the ocean at a finger’s reach your whole life that when you visit somewhere like Colorado or Kansas, you automatically assume that they have a beach.

6. You always have sand somewhere. In your hair, in your car, in your bed. It’s always somewhere.

Because you're so close to the beach, there is bound to be sand somewhere and you can never seem to get rid of it.

7. You eat Mexican food ALL of the time and you LOVE it.

Mexican food in San Diego is the best, and all San Diegans know it.

8. You either are a surfer or have tried to be a surfer before.

San Diego is surf town central so everyone and their mother has tried surfing.

9. You’re tan all year round.

Being tan is just one plus to having perfect whether all year round.

10. You know the freeways like the back of your hand.

"The 5", "the 15","the 8", if you know, you know.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
