Los Angeles vs San Francisco

As someone who considers LA their hometown but SF as “my city,” I think it’s hard to make the decision of which is better!

Los Angeles may be named the city of Angels but it is the city of life and energy. People seem to barely be waking up at midnight and the traffic is a sure sign that there is a large and lively population.

However, as a Mexican-Guatemalan, of course one of the biggest reasons why I love Los Angeles is that there is large Latino/Hispanic community. Everywhere, from the streets to the stores you are sure to find remnants of Latin culture.

Also, can we talk about how you have places like the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios or how you're able to enter into another world in Disneyland? Major points to LA for having these magical, immersing travel spots.

As for San Francisco, you cannot but help but be awed by all the modernity and art of the city and its inhabitants. Also the amount of diverse activities you can do and the interesting sights give off just the right balance between city mayhem and chill vibes that you feel more local than tourist.


However, you cannot deny, that both of these cities are impressive in their beaches and their art. But, to each their own. My heart sure cannot make a decision on which is the better!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
