How NorCal And SoCal Are So Different From Each Other

Many people, especially those in other states, do not understand the variations between NorCal and SoCal. For those that are not aware, NorCal is Northern California and SoCal is Southern California. There are many differences from the way we speak to the things we believe; there exists incredible differences between the two.

NorCal

In Northern California, you are probably living in the country or in a small town surrounded by fields. You would probably say things like “hella” or “hecka," if you are trying not to cuss. Most of them believe that Sacramento is considered part of SoCal, but I don't think they know just how big California is. Their attire is normally miss me’s if you're a girl and the classic Wranglers or Levi’s if you are a guy. If you are a girl, you really like bejeweled clothing, whether it be pants, a T-shirt, or a purse. A guy, for example, would wear an average T-shirt with jeans and cowboy boots. In this area, things are 180 degrees different from SoCal.

SoCal

Southern California is a completely different story, though, you are most likely living on the beach or near it. Most of the time it’s a big city or near a big city like LA or San Diego. You have most likely never heard of the words “hella” or “hecka.” Sacramento is most definitely considered NorCal or in that region. Clothing choices are completely different from those in NorCal, since you are not normally around farm animals, you do not need to wear jeans or cowboy boots.

If you are a girl, you most likely wear crop tops, shorts, and sandals, because it is warm enough to wear. If you are a guy, you might wear Sperry’s, shorts, and T-shirts or button-ups. I would like to make it clear that this is not the attire of every individual, but rather this is a generalization.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
