1. When Dutch Bros. moved into town, your life changed.

A blended Carmelizer will improve anyone’s day. Proven fact.

2. Domino's will no longer work as pizza due to the amazing options we have.

Pizzeria Bianco, Pomo Pizzeria and La Piazza PHX, just to name a few.

3. You feel like you owe Sam Fox your life for all the restaurants he has given you.

There’s just nothing quite like a milkshake from Zinburger or Sauce mac n’cheese.

4. Upward Projects restaurants bettered your life.

There’s an ongoing debate with your friends about Federal Pizza vs. Postino, but you know they’re both to die for.

5. In fact, you're a food snob in general because there were so many incredible options.

6. You get sick of people asking you what you do in the summer.

“Do you just stay inside all the time?”

7. But you happily deal with the terrible summer for the eight months of perfect weather.

8. When you leave Phoenix, anything below 70 degrees requires a jacket...

...and you’re constantly made fun of for this.

9. You know the road between 7th Ave and 7th St on Glendale needs to be repaved.

You can’t understand why they haven’t just fixed it yet.

10. You have your suspicions about the mattress store on the corner of 7th Ave and Camelback.

Enough said.

11. Hiking is almost more regular than going to the gym.

How could it not be with the views?

12. Your Instagram is filled with Arizona sky pictures, and even though they're your whole feed, you’ll never stop posting them.

13. You can’t believe how many of your friends haven’t taken the four-hour trip to see the Grand Canyon.

14. Day trips to Fossil Creek or Wet Beaver Creek become a common activity in the summer.

There’s nothing like cliff-jumping off a waterfall.

15. You have staycationed at least once in your time in Phoenix.

16 And you’ve snuck into almost all the resort pools at least once.

You felt personally victimized when more pools starting using the wristband system and sneaking in became much harder.

17. Half of your closet is summer-time apparel

Why wouldn't it be if it lasts year round?

18. You use AZ-specific words when you talk to out-of-state friends and they’re baffled.

It's weird that not everyone knows what a dayger or haboob is.

19. You stereotype everyone who is from Scottsdale or Paradise Valley as being rich and snobby

After all their snapchat filter does have dollar signs.

20. You drive up and down the bridal path in the winter just because it's so gorgeous.

It’s part of what makes North Central home.

21. And most importantly, you can’t think of any other place you would have wanted to grow up.

There’s nowhere like Phoenix, and Phoenix is the best home.
