Personal Reflection: City vs. Country

For me, living in the city is much better than living in the country, as I am a girl who likes trips to stores, parks, and clubs. To be honest, the country offers nothing like that. I have been very lucky to live my whole life in the city and enjoy the things it offers. Although there should always be a balance in life, and while I have fun when I visit people in the country, I wouldn't trade living in the city for anything.
