19 Questions People From Southern Cal Are Asked By Everyone Else

I am probably one of very few people who had no problem with moving away from Southern California. While Katy Perry does make it seem like a fine, fresh, fierce place, in reality it’s just really hot and crowded all the time. I moved to Michigan to join the Hospitality program at Grand Valley State University. Though it was fun being the new kid on the block for a while, I quickly realized many people were questioning my sanity when they found out I was from sunny California (the destination vacation spot everyone wants to visit).

Here are 20 questions that I have been asked so many times, I could relay my answers in my sleep:

1. Do you know any movie stars?

2. Can you surf?

3. How far away from the beach did you live?

4. Have you ever been to Mexico?

5. Why do you talk like that?

6. Why aren't you more tan?

7. Have you ever been to Coachella?

8. Aren't you afraid of what’s in the ocean?

9. Don’t you miss your family?

10. You’ve been in an earthquake before?!

11. Is the traffic in LA really that bad?

12. Do you even know what rain is?

13. Are you like, super rich then?

14. What is considered “cold” for you?

15. Do you even know what snow is?

16. What’s the coldest it gets there?

17. Do you even own winter clothes?

18. Are you ready for winter?

19. Do you even know what winter is?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
