It is an indisputable fact that California is the best state. You could travel the world, but nothing comes close to the golden coast! If you’re coming to California for school, here are a few tips for blending in!
Here in California, we suffer from a lack of rain. Especially if you’re going to a school in Southern California (LA, San Diego, etc) then get ready to complain about the drought and celebrating even the lightest sprinkle!
Okay, so everyone knows that one of the greatest parts about California is In-N-Out, but there are also hundreds of extremely healthy, and extremely trendy, places to get food. Eating healthy never goes out of style here, and it makes your In-N-Out trips even more special.
Californians pride themselves on being fit, so take advantage of the sunny weather and go exercise! Try workouts that are celebrity-approved like indoor cycling or kickboxing. Don’t forget to snapchat the whole thing!
Tailgating is always fun, but doing it at the beach is even better. Get take-out, grab some blankets, and drive down to the beach. Sitting in the back of your car eating cold food has never been more beautiful!
Sun’s out, buns out! If the weather is 70 degrees, throw on that bathing suit and head down to the beach. If you’re still worried about it being cold, grab your wetsuit and surfboard and go for a surf. Make sure to post it on Instagram so everyone knows about the awesome winter weather we have!
Every part of California is great, but in order to be a True Californian, you have to pick whether you like the Bay Area and North better than the South. It’s San Francisco vs. Los Angeles, and you have to pick one.
Prepare yourself. People will go barefoot everywhere! Grocery stores, malls, driving, schools…. the list goes on. Real kooks go barefoot.
I have yet to meet a Californian who doesn’t own a pair of sunglasses. Keep them in your car, in your purse, in your pocket, it doesn’t matter. You always have to keep your eyes protected from the bright Californian sunshine!
It is ALWAYS tourist season in California, and true residents HATE tourists. They cause more traffic and look dumb in their tank tops and board shorts. Call out people who look like tourists and chant along with your friends: Tourists go home!
This is the NUMBER 1 RULE of being a True Californian. No one here calls it “Cali”. Do not be fooled, the first giveaway that you’re a non-native is if you say “Cali”.
Californians are laid back, so go with the flow! California isn’t a state of mind, it’s a lifestyle.
