6 Reasons You Should Move To The East Coast

The East Coast is incomparable to the West Coast. They're basically two different lands, to be honest. Each have their own unique qualities, but there's something that the East Coast has that has enchanted me. After living in California for the last 18 years, I'm starting to rethink if the West Coast is really the Best Coast? Here are some reasons why my mind has been changing...

1. Snow

There's a large city to visit every 2 hours you drive. From Baltimore to D.C. to Pittsburg to Philadelphia, to New York City, to Boston, you have so many options to experience a new city.

3. Seasons

Yes. Real Seasons. Summer. Fall. Winter. Spring.

4. Sports

Sports are really big here, which would make sense since there are so many states. From College Basketball to Baseball to Football, East Coasters are proud of their teams. They even have things like Lacrosse, Rowing, and Field Hockey (sports unknown to the common west coaster).

5. History

The United States was created on the East Coast which means no matter where you go, there is some sort of historical significance.

6. The Vibe

The East Coast has a completely different vibe than the West Coast. It's preppier and definitely less laid back, but there's some sort of magic on the East and I've fallen in love.

In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
