Every state has their own habits and quirks. Living in California, we sure have our own habits we live out pretty much every single day.

1) You say "The" before every freeway

When addressing freeways in other states it's common to refer to them without "the," but in California we do things a little differently.

2) The beach is your get away

Obviously, living so close to the beach there is no need to go extremely far to take a break and relax for a while.

3) You could eat In-N-Out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

In-N-Out. What else is there to say other than it's the go-to option for any meal for any Californian.

4) A sentence isn't a word without words such as, "like," "dude," "totally" and "even."

Sometimes, it's like common for Californians to use filler words in their sentences.

5) Rain is something that excites you.

Rain doesn't occur very often in Californian, but when it does some Californians might not be able to contain themselves.

6) You can sit through almost any earthquake without a scare.

Tornadoes? Oh my gosh, duck and cover quickly. Hurricanes? Board up the house and find safety and quickly! Earthquakes? Well, no need to scream and shout just take a seat and sit the rumble out.

7) You think California has the closet thing to real Mexican food

California obviously has the best Mexican food and there's really no argument about it.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
