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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
