California is by far the best state in the country and may even be the best place in the world (yes I am a little biased). However, some students, including myself, decide to go away for college. Whether it is right next door in Arizona or all the way across the country in North Carolina, going to school out of California is a really big change. Here are 11 signs that prove you are a California native.

1. You don't know how to deal with weather that isn't always perfect.

2. You have In-N-Out withdrawals all the time if you are in another state.

3. You put the word "the" in front of freeways even though you aren't in California.

4. When people you meet say "Cali" you cringe a little.

5. You are one of the best drivers you know.

6. Earthquakes don't phase you.

7. You are judgemental of all the Mexican food you eat.

8. You feel prideful when someone asks you why you left California.

9. You wear flip-flops to almost everything.

10. You appreciate all types of food.

11. You thank God when you get to take a shower with good water pressure.
