10 Must-Dos For Your Next Trip To San Francisco
Emily Kaye

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.

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.
