13 Reasons Why Living In The West Coast Is Freakin' Awesome
In n Out

We all know the U.S has some pretty cool places to visit. From the big state of Texas to the beaches of Florida, but nothing quite adds up to the lifestyle of the West Coasters. We are like a completely different breed and we're proud of it!

1. First Things First-BEACHES

You knew it was coming and for good reason! Nothing beats a day on the beach and going to the boardwalk after. Getting that nice tan glow never came easier than living on the West side.

2. Wino’s Welcome

California is home to the best wineries in the U.S. They offer wine tastings, wine trains, winery weddings and everything wine.

3.One Word-Burritos

If you want an authentic burrito the actual size of a small child, the west coast is the place to be. Do you like French fries in your burritos? Well you have found the right place to start.

4.The Weather is Literally Perfect

Winter is nothing on this side. Yes, Washington and Oregon get colder than California, but would you rather be in a Michigan winter? Yeah... No thanks! Tanning in February doesn’t seem so far fetched on our side.

5. In-N-Out

Arguably the best burger joint in the world. Actually no, not arguably. DEFINITELY. Every west coast local knows In-N-Out is good for just about any time of day, any occasion, any time of year. Oh by the way, if you don’t get animal style fries what are you even doing with your life?!

6. We Birth the Best Rappers Damn Near

Andre Nickatina, E-40, Ice cube, NWA, Kendrick Lamar, Mac Dre, Sir Mix a Lot, Snoop Dogg, Tupac and Tyga just to name a few of the most well known rappers of all time. The music and vibe on the west coast is LEGIT.

7. Surfs up!

Trying to catch some waves? Or even better, trying to catch the attractive people catching the waves? It’s our favorite pastime.

8. Terrain central

You want a beach, desert, mountain, forrest or snow? Well all you have to do is pack up the car and drive a couple hours. You have access to any type of terrain on the west side and trust me we take full advantage of that.

9. Sports? We got that on lock

From the Seattle Seahawks being Superbowl champs in 2014, to the San Francisco Giants miraculously winning a World Series every even year starting in 2010, and better yet the Golden State Warriors winning an NBA Finals for the first time since 1975. The West coast is home to some of the best sport organizations in the country. Not only professional sports, but also college sports. The Pac-12 is one heck of a show stopping conference.

10. Celebrities EVERYWHERE

Just take a stroll in Calabasas and you are likely to run into a couple celebs. Take a walk in the Bay Area and you might run into Steph Curry and the fam. Not to mention Hollywood which is home to all kinds of actors, actresses, models and athletes.

11. We are home to some of the best hiking views known in this country

From Yosemite National Park in California, to Dry Creek Falls in Oregon, the hikes can take you to some of the most breathtaking views you have ever seen.

12. Food/drinks in general

You know that Starbucks on the corner of your street? Yeah well that started in Seattle. And taco trucks are nothing if they aren’t from Southern California. If you have ever had seafood on this side you will also understand the freshness that comes with it. After all, sea food is the best when you're right next to the sea.

13. Coachella OMG

Home to one of the most popular music festivals ever located in the deserts of Los Angeles. Here is where you will find the most chill and laid back people ever. This is where your inner most hippie vibes come out.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
