You know you're from Seattle when you've grown up with rain, football, coffee, the Space Needle and the orcas and boats. Seattle is home from anyone. But here is a list on how you know you're from Seattle.

1. GO HAWKS!

You root for the Seahawks during football season and it's really exciting when you get into the playoffs. We have so much pride, people chant year long.

2. Blue Friday is a must

If you don't wear Blue on Blue Friday, are you even a fan?

3. You're still heartbroken over the Supersonics

4.You're happy Kevin Durant signed with Golden State then signing again with Oklahoma City Thunder

July 4, 2016 was a happy day for Seattle because Kevin Durant gained his independence from OKC Thunder

5. Starbucks

Did you know everyone's favorite coffee ship chain originated in Seattle? It;s been told Seattleite's drink more coffee than water. Grande Passion Tea Lemonade with extra ice please.

6. Baseball is fun and stressful in Seattle

We'll get into the playoffs, until we lose a couple of games

7. Your'e biased about your home stadiums

Ain't these stadiums beautiful?

8. The Apple Cup is the biggest battle of the year

You do root for the hawks, but when the apple cup happens it's either UW or WSU. Go Dawgs or Go Cougs, but at the end of the day Go Hawks!

9. You don't mind the rain

It's raining? I'm not wearing a jacket.

10. What jacket?!

You won't wear a jacket if it's raining outside. Never.... I promise.

11. Cinema Pride

When a TV show or movie setting is filmed in Seattle you feel like your city is Hollywood. However, they are hardly ever filmed exactly in Seattle (grey's anatomy, twilight, sleepless in Seattle. Where any of these celebrities actually in Seattle while filming?

12. The Space Needle

We've all been, it's the iconic spot for date night. The space-needle truly cannot disappoint.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
