California

So what are the perks of California? Well one of them is being able to drive down a highway with a beautiful ocean view immediately to your right or left. This summer, I'm driving down the coast from San Francisco to L.A. and I absolutely cannot wait. I have been to both those cities before, but I have never stopped in the ones in between.

I know the lifestyle in California is perceived to be very different from the east coast, but it is truly lovely, no matter what. It is by far one of my favorite places. When I graduate, I would like to move there, for a short time at least.

To me, California will open up many opportunities that I may not have over here and will be an experience out of my comfort zone, which I think is a good thing. I cannot wait to be able to explore who I am when I am out of the direct reach of my family and friends. Will I be able to handle it? Only time will tell.
