10 Things You Know If You're From San Diego

Living in San Diego means living the life. We all know that as residents of this wonderful county. San Diego is filled with culture, amazing food, beautiful beaches and, most importantly, awesome people.

1. Mexican food in San Diego, is the best Mexican food in the world.

California burritos are a must-have here in SoCal, and when other places in the world try to make them, they are never as good.

2. Drives along the coast can cure anything.

The coast highway is one of our favorite roads of transportation, because of the gorgeous views, warm sun, and salty air.

3. Avoid beaches on all holidays.

The beaches are insanely packed with travelers, every single holiday. For locals, this isn't the most relaxing time.

4. Being tan is normal.

In San Diego, it is so easy to be tan, that no one asks, "Did you just get back from Mexico?" They just know.

5. Rainbow flip-flops are a way of life.

The normal attire of many San Diego residents consists of a swimsuit, rainbow flip flops, and rocking' sunglasses.

6. Music is everything.

Beach music is a must, this includes much Jack Johnson and Flume.

7. Do not take the 5 freeway after 3 p.m., unless you want to be two hours late.

Experiencing the freeways every single day has taught us some very important lessons. Unless you want to be in stopped traffic for 100 hours, avoid it at all costs after 3 p.m.

8. Eating healthy is quite easy.

Always being in shorts or a swimsuit makes it much easier to want to be healthy. The warm weather also brings us away from Netflix, and out into the fresh air!

9. The Del Mar Fair is the best time of your life.

The fair comes every year in June, and that is the best part of the summer. Who doesn't love rides, fried food, and a view of the ocean?

10. There's no better place in the world.

San Diego is our heart, and home. Moving away would be the worst thing to ever happen to us.

San Diego has stolen our hearts, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
