The best activities to do when you are in San Francisco

In This Article:

The Bay Area is a beautiful place to visit during the summer. A lot of good lookout points and parks around the city. There are a wide variety of things to do whether it comes to the ocean or up in the hills. This year was the first time I have ever been to San Francisco and I fell in love with the city right away. San Francisco is the place for you if you are into doing outdoor activities.

This park is located in the city at the western edge of the Mission District. The park has a huge open field which makes it perfect for picnics and big events. In fact, they even have exercise classes that they hold at the park for the public! I really enjoyed this park because it also compliments for a beautiful lookout point over the city skyline. There are also plenty of dogs roaming around this park so if you are into dogs this park is great to bring them.

This historic location is known as the birthplace of the hippie movement of the 1960s. I remember this place holding very true to what San Francisco is truly all about when it comes to its history and culture. For example, there are a lot of cool vintage shops and buildings that are in a wide variety of colors. Some things to do nearby are to visit the Jimi Hendrix red house, the Grateful Dead House, and Janis Joplin's house! There is a reason that this place was home to the Summer of Love as the vibes were very peaceful and uplifting. There are also a lot of cool murals and art pieces to see throughout this area of the city!

If you are a huge Full House fan like I am then you'll greatly appreciate this park. This park is famously known for having the Painted Ladies houses all lined up in perfect view as the houses backdrop the city skyline from afar. There are a ton of great picture opportunities at this park as you can see the Palace of Fine Arts. Also, there is an off-leash dog park located at the park so it's always nice to be able to just chill and pet a lot of dogs! The layout of this park is so beautiful and it was one of my most favorite parks I visited during my visit to San Francisco.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
