What Is It Like Living In California?

A series of thoughts and questions from the girl who has never been to the Golden State.

What Is It Like Living In California?

In the past seven months, I have met a number of people from California (thanks, college). It's so interesting to hear about life in a world far far away, aka, the West Coast. I've personally never been to California, but I have been dying to go there for quite some time now. I am so fascinated with all it has to offer.

Is the Hollywood sign as glamorous as it looks in movies? Whether it is or not, I would channel my inner tourist and whip out my selfie stick to get a picture with the notorious sign.

I would also like to know how many celebrities one actually sees out in Los Angeles? I haven't had much luck spotting anyone famous in New York City, so maybe L.A. is the place where all of the celebrities have been hiding. After all, you walk by thousands of celebrities on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Maybe you will even run into "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" down the block.

Which Six Flags is thebest Six Flags in California? Six Flags Magic Mountain or Six Flags Discovery Kingdom? Either way, I want to go to both because I want to go to every Six Flags in the world so...

But no Six Flags can ever compare to the magic at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure. There may be no Epcot and no Cinderella's Castle but California Screamin' and Mickey's Fun Wheel look awesome!


The Santa Monica Pier seems to be the cutest place ever. And the opening of "Hannah Montana: The Movie" was filmed there, so that's pretty cool.

I want to hang out with my girl Ellen at Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California, just like Kate McKinnon.

How cool is the San Diego Zoo? Is it a lot cooler than any other regular zoo?

How many steps would it take to cross San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge? And how many times do you think that I can sing the "Full House" theme song while making my way across the bridge?

And last but not least—one question I ask myself every day is "Does In-N-Out really taste like heaven?" In-N-Out, we will meet someday. But for now, wait for me.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
