10 Things You Know If You're From San Diego
Mapio.net

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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
