Do you ever see those golden beach-babes with long hair and careless smiles as you scroll through Instagram or Twitter while “studying” in the library? Imagine an entire area code of them and then you have Melbourne, Florida. If you’re wondering if you are truly from the 321, keep reading for the 12 key signs.
Beverly Hills has the signature name 90210, but Melbourne, Florida has the area code 321. You will hear it repeated by every college student when they post on Snapchat that they’re “back in the 321.”
When you go to the beach every day after school, it’s hard not to have so many swim suits. Not only do you own a startling number of bikinis, but you also probably know all the small Instagram bikini businesses. Chances are you have also been featured on their account wearing their suit.
Who knew Da Kine’s would still be standing after all those hurricanes? Also, they are probably the fastest food service in America. They will have your food cooked and ready before you even finish your order. Plus, the food may be even better than Chipotle.
When winter time hits, it’s like a whole transformation. Everyone’s skin gets paler and hair gets darker. The moment you lose your tan lines you know you need to get back to the beach. It’s OK because winter only lasts about a total of a month in Melbourne, Florida anyway.
This small thrill park really is the only form of entertainment in Melbourne, Florida. That is, besides the beach of course. Finally being tall enough to drive your own go-kart is always a sacred moment, and is usually followed by being stuck facing the wall until an employee comes to help.
Everyone felt like Michael Phelps during hurricane season. When the bell rings, it’s like an Olympic race to see who can get out first.
Even if you didn’t go to Holy Trinity, the fact that someone actually became famous in Melbourne, Florida gave hope to those aspiring to leave the space coast. Especially when she was a star in the hilarious movie the Other Woman.
It’s astounding that our parents continued to allow us to go to the IcePlex on teen skate with what happened there those nights. I was only 11 when that was the place to be on Saturday nights, so I was terrified half the time I was there.
You probably have had, or have been to, a birthday dinner here at least once. You also completely remember the over-full feeling when you powered through your heaping plate, as well as the time you stained your favorite shirt because you couldn’t catch the shrimp the chef threw at you.
So your clothes really only come from American Eagle, Hollister, and Charlotte Russe. Every school lunch period you saw at least one other person wearing the same shirt as you.
There was nothing greater than taking a break from the heat on the beach to have a great snow cone. I think we can all agree that cotton candy was by far the best flavor.
That tiny road that is horrifying to drive on is actually one of the prettiest places in the area. It’s no wonder everyone feels tempted to pull over and pose under the palm trees for that beautiful Instagram pic. Even if you’re trespassing on private property, oops.
