We all know that the beach is the happiest place on Earth. I mean, it's up on the list with Disney World. How could you not love the beach? Great tans, salty air, sand between your toes, it's complete bliss. If you're anything like me, you've probably considered dropping everything and moving to the coast once or twice. Why not? I'll load up and move with you. Here's 15 signs that you should just quit your job, get a tan, and run away.
1. You've been going to the beach since you were a kid.
It's already like a second home to you. Might as well make it permanent.
2. You can easily give someone directions to anywhere in town.
You know all of the back roads and short cuts to get people wherever they need to go.
3. You know all of the locals.
You know everyone's name, who works where, and where they'll be when the get off.
4. You'd pick the beach over the mountains any day.
How is this even a "hard" choice? Seriously.
5. You're never truly happy until your toes are in the sand.
If I had to choose between winning the lottery and going to the beach, I'm going to the beach. Okay, that might be a stretch, but I'd be spending that lotto money on a beach house!
6. Somehow your car always has sand in it.
No matter how many times you've cleaned out your car, there is ALWAYS sand in the floorboard.
7. You get mad when everything is packed because of damn tourists.
Yes, I'm visiting, too. But I basically live here. I'm not one of you.
8. You've got a playlist on your phone for "beach music."
And it's probably full of Luke Bryan and Kenny Chesney.
9. You've got your beach house planned out on Pinterest.
Now you've just got to find a legal way to become rich to buy it and you're set.
10. Anytime anything stressful happens, your first reaction is, "Forget this. I'm moving to the beach."
People pissing you off? Rough day at work? Failed an exam? Screw it. Let's go to the beach.
11. You swear you're secretly a mermaid.
You drink like a fish. You're always in the water. You love to be tan. You have mermaid hair. All the signs are there.
12. If you have any kind of break, you're probably headed to the beach.
Spring Break? Beach. Summer? Beach. Tuesday? Beach.
13. The moment you get back home, you want to go back.
Or the moment you start to pack to leave.
14. You just don't understand how someone can NOT like the beach.
Do you understand how amazing this place is? How can you not love it?!
15. You're probably planning out your next beach trip after reading this.
It's okay. I am, too.
If this doesn't make you miss the sun, the salt, and the sand, I don't know what will.
