Bye Bye Berkeley. I'll miss you! Well, not really.

*

I know a lot of people that love Berkeley, but I am just not one of those people. I am super excited about moving! To justify my less-than-enthusiastic opinion, I have provided a list of the five things I know I will miss about Berkeley, and ten that I definitely will not miss.



Things I Will Miss About Berkeley

1. The Weather


2. Living within walking distance to Anthropologie


3. The Dog, and Dog-Friendly, Parks


4. Puppy Play Dates


5. Running into my fabulous friends at school

Things I Most Definitely Will Not Miss About Berkeley

1. The Crazies - They are everywhere


2. The Potholes - My car totally needed new alignment after living here two days


3. Crappy Apartments & Crappy Slumlords - Not to mention the ridiculous rent prices


4. The 51 - Anyone who has experienced it knows what I am talking about


5. Playing Paperboy everytime I try to drive somewhere


6. Cash-only restaurants - Seriously?


7. The grocery stores - So stressful!


8. Bad customer service - Ok, my bar is kind of high on this one, but I can't think of good customer service I have had here.


9. Parking - I really don't know how many parking tickets I have received while living here, but I am sure I spent a small fortune paying for them.


10. The overpriced, and really not that good, restaurants - So many people think Berkeley has great restaurants, but I have only found one restaurant that I actually care about (La Mediterranee, and from what I can tell, they started in San Francisco), and a few that are so-so.

Anyway, it was worth experiencing, and maybe some day I hope to look back at my time here with nostalgia.

*I admit, I am not moving to Colorado right away, but it's the eventual destination... the light at the end of the tunnel...
