Personal Narrative: My Trip To The Griffith Observatory
We went to eat lunch at a restaurant in Santa Monica. I ordered a pastrami sandwich, fries, and raspberry lemonade. She ordered pancakes and a strawberry smoothie. We talked about our college experience, plans for the future, male celebrity crush, and guys that we find cute. After we finished our lunch, we went to the Griffith Observatory.

She talked about how technology is powerful, and it is changing who we are. We treat technology as a friend. She said that “the feeling that no one is listening to me makes us want to spend time
