Yes, much of the state does have perfect weather year-round, but at some point, you might become jaded. On the rare days when it does rain or isn’t nice, you’ll be thrilled not to have guilt for binging Netflix or not leaving the house all day. When you moved to Santa Monica, you vowed to watch the sunset every day, but after the first month, you got busy.
You can name all the local juice shops and you’re a member at the neighborhood yoga studio. There’s no shame in that — you’re one of us now.
Oh really? When’s the last time you crossed state lines? A weekend trip to Vegas a few months ago? When there’s a state this great (and this huge) it’s easy to get stuck. But are you really stuck if you want to be here?
Yes — -temperate weather year-round rules. And the option of a warm February rules even more. But if you grew up in a place with four seasons, expect to feel nostalgia. “White Christmas” doesn’t feel the same when it’s playing next to palm trees. And in much of the state, leaves don’t change. You can get your fix in Tahoe or up north, but many Californians don’t have anything heavier than a sweater.
You’re probably hella comfortable with the lingo. You know it’s not chill to call it “Cali” and you call highways by their proper names, like “The 405”. You talk like a SoCal or NorCal local now, and you’re stoked to be here.
You took one lesson and learned: A) How cold the Pacific Ocean is B) How hard surfing is. Your Surfin’ USA dreams are crushed, but we’ve all been there. You can definitely still go to parties in San Diego and pretend you know what everyone is talking about.
