As students living and going to school in San Diego, we should feel incredibly blessed and grateful to live on the beach—sometimes literally—and attend a school that is only a short drive away from school (which continues to overlook the beach, if we might add). With that said, there are some very obvious signs that ensure our San Diego residence among the rest of the population.
1. If not the most obvious, the majority of students make sure to display their Alma mater’s sticker on the back of their car.
2. Your wardrobe consists primarily of shorts, dresses, sandals, bikinis, and more bikinis.
3. Someone always seems to point out that you’re continually leaving behind trails of sand (and their point is…?)
4. The lingering scent of Jergens Tanning Lotion (hey it smells good!)
5. Your address literally has the words “ocean front” in it.
6. You ‘accidentally’ missed class because it was just too sunny outside and the UV Index was at 7 (oops!)
7. Your vocabulary consists of phrases like, “The waves were gnarly this morning!” “How epic was that sesh at Blacks yesterday?” “Want to lay out and not go to class?”
8. When you can’t drink coffee from anywhere else but Better Buzz
9. Your “diet” consists of acai bowls
10. Wednesday night is Dollars at The Comber & Thursdays are reserved for The Pennant
