Dear California

My first day!

Dear California,

I'm coming for you with big dreams and ambitions. My standards are high so don't let me down. I'm not quite sure how I got so lucky, but I know I'll take nothing for granted.

I will be attending The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise and can honestly say, I'm SO EXCITED FOR SCHOOL TO START! I'm excited for my classes, and can't wait to make new friends who are all as passionate and creative as I am. I'm ready for the group projects and I'm ready to push myself out of my comfort zone.

I've only been here for 48 hours but can already tell how motivating it is to be in such a beautiful place. I landed yesterday morning with my four suitcases and my family by my side to take on this journey. I've now completely moved into my new apartment, and guys… It's so beautiful I wish you could see it! I don’t know how I got so lucky, it feels so unreal. I can't wait to start exploring the beaches and all the quaint little neighboring surf towns. I plan on taking advantage of all of the beautiful places while I'm here, so get ready for all of the pictures I will be uploading!

Today we went to West Street Beach and what I learned is that, any outing to the beach is a workout. Parking wasn't the easiest thing to do, we probably ended up walking a good 20 minutes down a hill, which didn't hit me how bad of idea it was until we had to walk back up. Once we got to the beach side of the road I was then pleasantly surprised with the 7 flights of stairs we had to take down to get to the water. As I was walking down I was thinking to myself, "this better be worth it"... And boy was it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
