10 Must-Dos For Your Next Trip To San Francisco

In This Article:

San Francisco has so many diverse activities, delectable restaurants, and beautiful scenery to experience. These 10 things fully capture the real feel of the place I call home.

1. Explore Lands End and Mile Rock Beach

Emily Kaye

Take a short stroll down to this seclusive, hidden gem of the city where you will find a rock maze overlooking the bay.

2. Roam Golden Gate Park

Take some time to explore the Conservatory of Flowers, walk around the Polo fields, or set up a hammock in the trees.

3. Have a picnic at the Painted Ladies

This includes taking the iconic picture in front of the Full House house and taking a stroll around Alamo Square.

4. Drive up to Battery Spencer for a bomb view (& pictures)

Emily Kaye

It is 1000% worth the difficulty of finding parking and the harsh winds at the top because Battery Spencer has the BEST views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

5. Bike the Golden Gate Bridge

The best way to experience the Golden Gate Bridge is to walk or bike along it! Enjoy the cool breeze and calm ride along the water.

6. Eat your way through the Ferry Building

From bakeries to cafes to upscale restaurants, the Ferry Building has it all! And its right along the bay so nothing can beat the view!

7. Spend the day at Baker Beach

Emily Kaye

Whether you lay out a blanket on the sand and enjoy the view or are brave enough to dive into the frigid Northern California water, you will have an amazing time relaxing and enjoying a view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

8. Ride a Cable Car

This is kind of a one and done activity, but its great to do it once to experience the hills of SF as a full-fledged tourist.

9. Go shopping in Union Square

There is so much to see, buy, and eat in the Financial district so take some time out of your day to explore blocks and blocks of shops and restaurants.

10. Explore Chinatown

Go watch fortune cookies be made at the Fortune Cookie factory or take a stroll through some authentic shops and delectable restaurants.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
