Wanna move to california when im 18?

im originally from maryland, and then had to move to tennessee with family and ive lived here for 6 years and absolutely hate it. i have 2 years til im 18 and i wanna get out asap. ive wanted to move to cali my whole life and i just think it would be good for me. i DONT wanna move there to "be famous" or any of that. i know i;ll have at least one person moving with me, if not two or so. i know im young and i dont know a lot and i;ll probably get "you wont survive here" or whatever...but i just want some good advice. i was thinking of the long beach area...but i dont really care, wherever is fine. any suggestions on where i should look? since i;ll have people moving with me, at least one, the rent will be split. i;m thinking i wanna go to school for cosmetology and be a hair stylist. so what could i afford on that salary? how would i even go about moving all the way to cali? or maybe should i just move back to maryland or somewhere for a little while and go to school there or whatever, then move to cali in a year or two? i dont know, any advice?|||my only advise is do want makes you happy...everything will work out =)
