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.

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
