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.

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.
