Downtown Berkeley

BART hopping

When I’m tired of my usual setting, I take a random BART line, get off somewhere new, and explore.

The Golden Gate Bridge lit up at night, the city glowing behind it, a friend silhouetted against the lights
San Francisco

Nights in SF

We drove across the bridge for a better view. It was really windy.

Being in nature

Nature slows everything down for me and clears my head.

East Bay

East Bay afternoons

Just a bus ride away, with great views of SF and random shows along the way.

Crumbl and boba runs

Sometimes I fight the craving. Sometimes the 10 p.m. urge wins.

Hiking

My favorite views are from above, especially when I’m surrounded by nature.

Downtown hopping

Walking through random South Bay downtowns with a friend, just talking and exploring.

Late-night studying

Studying alone, thinking about my values, and occasionally blasting music when I know no one’s coming in.

A dark beach at dusk, a few people at the water’s edge, cliffs and a pale orange horizon

Beach sunsets

Just sitting by the water and watching the sky change.
