In life, it can be so early to take things for granted. Especially the things that you see every day. Here's a small reminder of some reasons that we should be thankful to live in San Diego!

1. Perfect weather.

Welcome to sunny San Diego where the weather is always perfect! While we do have some overcast and rainy days, they’re so welcomed as a nice change, although we still adore our 75- degree days full of sunshine!

2. Diversity.

San Diego is such a beautiful city that is full of diversity. The city is filled with people of every gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, color, occupation, political opinion and income level. We are thankful that you can be yourself in San Diego.

3. Beaches.

(I've never related to anyone more...)

Beaches are a luxury that most of the country does not have, but San Diego is lucky enough to be right inland of the beach! With splashing in the water and sunbathing during the day, watching the sunset from the cliffs in the afternoon and holding bonfires at night to roast marshmallows, the beaches of San Diego are a beautiful place to spend your time.

4. Fantastic educational opportunities.

San Diego is home to many fantastic universities and junior colleges. San Diego gives the opportunities of attending San Diego State University, the University of California San Diego, University of San Diego and so much more. While SD may be a town full of excitement and adventure, it’s also a great place to get a higher level of education!

5. Public transportation.

Simply put, it’s so easy to get around San Diego. Through the trolley, taking you all the way from Santee to San Ysidro, you can easily get where you want to go! Using the Orange Line, Green Line or Blue Line, you can stop almost anywhere, including the Gaslamp District, Seaport Village, SDSU or Fashion Valley!

6. San Diego Chargers.

Everyone loves competition! It’s great to have a professional NFL team to cheer for! Go Chargers! Bolt Up!

7. Attractions.

One of the many things to be thankful for in San Diego is that you will never be bored! San Diego is packed full of things to do, including visiting Balboa Park, Sea World or the San Diego Zoo. Along with visiting these attractions, one can also stroll through the city looking at street art and stopping for a latte in a small café.

8. Sunsets.

I think we can all agree that the sky is beautiful no matter where you are, but San Diego sunsets just have something extraordinarily special about them. Every day, watching the sky red, orange, pink and purple is a blessing that not many get to experience.

9. Great food.

San Diego has a huge variety of amazing food! Whether you’re craving sushi, carne asada fries or pizza, you can find it all close by! This just adds to San Diego’s cultural diversity!

10. San Diego rush hour traffic.

OK, let’s be honest: we all hate traffic. Especially the horrible San Diego rush hour traffic that is inevitable if you’re taking the freeway anywhere in the early evening. However, it may be a good thing, as it teaches us the virtue of patience. So let’s all learn to look on the brighter side of every situation!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
