1. Weather. The other day I was walking down the street and it was snowing. If it snows in Auburn we get a snow day. People don't even notice here. Also, I say it's cold when it's like 50 degrees outside. I don't know how I will survive the 0 degree winters.
2. Nobody knows about In-N-Out. Tragic, right? But many people have never even heard of it. This needs to be fixed. In-N-Out desperately needs to come to Idaho.
3. The Stench. For some reason, Nampa always either smells like poo or peanut butter. Why? I have no idea. But it's a problem. And when it rains, it doesn't smell like rain. It just makes the poo smell stronger.
4. The driving. I wouldn't say I'm the worst California driver there is, but come on. When the speed limit says 35, you don't have to be going 30.
5. Boise State. Seriously...the whole state flashed orange and blue every day. I guess that's what happens when there isn't any pro teams anywhere nearby.
6. The population. The county of Los Angeles has more people in it than the state of Idaho. Which means you can't go anywhere without seeing someone you know.
7. The laws. Normally, seeing someone drive a motorcycle without a helmet on or riding in the bed of a truck would be alarming. Not in Idaho, folks.
8. The housing prices. I could rent a one bedroom house for $300 dollars a month here. A whole house. That might rent you a bathroom in California.
9. The area code. You don't have to worry about asking someone what their area code is here. The whole state of Idaho conveniently only has 1. California has 25.
10. The spelling. Apparently Angela is spelled "Anjula" in Idaho.
The things I've learned from my college career thus far...

This is CRAZY! Wow! These might be the top 8 reasons I love living in California!
ReplyDeleteI can tell you what the smell is "Anjula"...farms and Simplot. We visited Nampa when our older son was considering going NNU, we noticed the same smell you describe. Simplot is a company that make agricultural products and they STINK!!! You will get used to your life there and who know maybe they will convert you to loving the slower paced life. I don't know about not having an In-n-Out though...that is a tough one. I will have to talk with my nephew...he works at the corporate offices of In-n-Out...if they would consider putting a few stores in Nampa for you! LOL
