11 Ways The Bay Area Is Really F*ing Cool!
San Francisco Travel

The Bay Area is known as one of the most unique places in the world. Its beautiful landscapes and adventurous lifestyles make the place seem like it is straight out of a dream. People from the Bay can all agree that there is definitely no place like home. Here are some reasons the Bay Area is really f*ing cool!

1. Culture

The cultural diversity in the Bay Area is prevalent in almost everything. The numerous festivals are inclusive of various different cultures adding to the uniqueness of the Bay. In addition, the food in the Bay Area is so diverse, you can eat food from pretty much anywhere in the world in one day. After leaving the Bay Area, culture shock is never something you have to worry about… You are the culture shock!

2. Music


The Bay Area is the home to some of the best music in the world. Every year we host killer festivals such as Outside Lands and BFD which feature various well-known artists from around the world. On top of having a really strong music festival game, the Bay has been the home of many artists including Zendaya, G-Eazy, Kehlani, and Green Day!

3. Boba Tea

It’s a fact. We have some of the best tea. Every single complex in the Bay Area has at least one boba tea place and each place has its’ own identity. Bay Area citizens are definitely conditioned to become boba tea aficionados.

4. LGBTQ

It’s no secret that the Bay Area has been heavily involved with the advancement of LGBTQ+ rights for a long time. In addition to the work done by Harvey Milk and the Castro District, we have one of the biggest pride events in the country. San Francisco is also the home to the first public high school in the country to offer a class in LGBT history and many cities in the Bay have painted rainbow crosswalks onto their streets.

5. Ice Cream

Not gonna lie, we have some of the best ice cream. Ghirardelli, Fenton’s Creamery, It’s Its! You can never get bored of the ice cream yummy-ness in the Bay.

6. Education

In addition to having many high ranked high schools and four-year colleges, we have Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley which are both ranked to be among the best in the world!

7. Technology

The Bay Area is known to have the headquarters to many of the most influential companies in the world. Twitter, Yelp, Google, Facebook, Apple, and many more. It is definitely really cool being from a place where the future is being invented every single day.

8. Interstate 280 to San Francisco

Our views are to die for. The sights on Interstate 280 make the ride from San Jose to San Francisco a magical one. And let’s not forget the Flintstone house on the way!

9. Highway 17 to Santa Cruz

Highway 17 is definitely another beautiful ride. Although the sights are beautiful, its curves make the highway one of the most dangerous routes in the state, giving it the nicknames “Killer 17” and “Blood Alley”. Evidently, driving along on highway 17 is definitely a thrill to die for!

10. Full House


Of course, there is nothing cooler than not only watching, but actually understanding, the Tanner lifestyle.

11. Sports:

We take our sports very seriously. Having some of the best sports teams in the country really brings out the competitive side of Bay Area sports fans.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
