5 Reasons To LOVE San Francisco

In This Article:

When I was little I always thought I would want to go to Disneyland or Disney World, but that changed when I visited San Francisco. I never wanted to go to those places after visiting. San Francisco literally has everything anyone could hope for.

1. It has everything A.K.A Chinatown

So while there are shops on every corner, the people are even better. The experiences. San Francisco has all the sights and the tourist attractions one could see in a giant city. They have one of the very first Chinatown's. Where the Asian population has shops and restaurants that you can find anything and everything.

2. The Golden Gate Bridge

As a high tourist attraction, the bridge has been there for countless years. As construction finished in 1939, it became a landmark to enter the city. It is a sight to see for many miles.

3. Union Square at Christmas

Union Square at Christmas time is gorgeous. There are shops around every corner! At Christmas, they set up an ice skating rink and a giant Christmas Tree. There is a giant Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Tiffany and Co, and more.

4. Ghirardelli Square

You ever wonder where Ghirardelli Chocolate got its start? RIGHT HERE! The company originated in San Francisco. You still currently are still able to go walk in and see how they make the chocolate and are able to sample a few new seasonal candies they are working on.

5. Lombard Street

This is the craziest road I have ever experienced. Lombard Street has many curves and people have to drive very slow because of how the curvature of the road is. It is an experience to just sit and watch people drive down it.

There are so many more reasons like the trolleys, pier 39, the sea lions, the Giants, and even the 49'ers. Ultimately, San Francisco has many reasons to be loved.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
