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.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
