Exquisito, a small Mexican dessert place in Santa Ana with a 4.0-star rating on Yelp. They serve a variety of desserts ranging from spicy to sweet. They are mostly known for their Esquite, corn with Hot Cheeto crumbs served in a cup or on a stick. Once you step in this small dessert shop, you get the feeling that you have entered a friendly environment. The staff is very friendly and they will answer the questions of their clients with patience and understanding. I ordered a banana split with no chocolate ice cream and no chocolate syrup. It was about a 15-minute wait for me to get my dessert. This wait was due to the fact that they were understaffed. There were only two employees working at the moment, one was taking people’s order and the other one was making the desserts. It was a reasonable time to wait considering there were only two employees at the moment. When my family and I received our desserts, mine looked pleasing, and it was satisfied my sweet tooth. My mom got a concha, a Mexican sweet bread, cut in half with a vanilla ice cream scoop in between and drizzled with caramel. The next dessert on my table was a Mangoniada and corn with Hot Cheeto crumbs on top. At my table we had a variety of flavors ranging from sweet, sour, and spicy desserts. It was a friendly environment that demonstrated the genuine attitude of the Latino/Hispanic culture. Exquisito has an open environment where the customers can speak to the staff easily and are able to ask anybody for recommendations. This experience with amazing desserts and a friendly environment at a cheap price is very possible at Exquisito. All dessert prices average from $4.25 to $7.00. It has something for everybody to enjoy. Making it a lot easier to pick the perfect dessert for you. This place is a B+ for dessert places in my opinion. It is located at 2509 W McFadden Ave b, Santa Ana, CA 92704. Reporter: Jennifer Neri

PHONE ADDICTION IS REAL. IN A BROADER PERSPECTIVE ANYTHING CAN BE ADDICTING. I CLAIM THAT ADDICTIONS CAN BE GOOD AND BAD FOR BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH. GOOD ADDICTIONS ARE ONES THAT ARE PRODUCTIVE FOR EXAMPLE SOMEONE WHO IS ADDICTED TO WORK. HOWEVER, TOO MUCH OF IT CAN BE EXHAUSTING THUS, BAD FOR YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH. AN EXAMPLE OF A BAD ADDICTION IS CIGARETTES. MANY BELIEVE THAT SMOKING REDUCES MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS BUT THE BENEFITS ARE OUTWEIGHED BY THE BAD PHYSICAL EFFECTS ON THE BODY. PHONE ADDICTION IS BAD. YES, PHONES CAN BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL WITH THE INTERNET AT YOUR FINGERTIPS BUT NO ONE SHOULD EVER BE ADDICTED TO A DEVICE OR THE CONTENTS WITHIN IT. AMERICAN EXPERTS LIKE JANE E. BRODY EXPLAIN HOW PHONES AND SOCIAL MEDIA DISCONNECT US FROM WHAT REALLY MATTERS. REAL LIFE CONNECTIONS, NOT DIGITAL ONES. AS HUMANS, WE VALUE HUMAN CONNECTION BECAUSE IT’S NURTURING. MORE NEW AND IMPROVED PHONES ARE BEING PRODUCED AND SO IS THE ADDICTION THAT SEPARATES US FROM REAL LIFE CONNECTION. BRODY CONTINUES TO SAY “SCREENS ARE STEALING TIME THAT CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS SHOULD BE SPENDING ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AND SPORTS, READING, OR CREATING AND ENGAGING DIRECTLY WITH OTHER CHILDREN, ALL OF WHICH ARE CRITICAL TO HEALTHY PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT.” FURTHER PROVEN IS THAT THOSE WHO SPEND MORE TIME ON THEIR PHONES HAVE AN INCREASED RISK OF DEPRESSION. PERSONALLY, I DON’T TAKE MUCH OF A LIKING TO SOCIAL MEDIA. WITHOUT THE REAL-LIFE INTERACTION, SOCIAL MEDIA ENABLES PEOPLE TO ACT AND/OR SAY THINGS THEY WOULDN’T SAY IN PERSON. FOR EXAMPLE, THE YOUNGER GENERATION IN OUR SOCIETY USE THE WORD “SHADE” TO CLASSIFY THE ACT OF INDIRECTLY CALLING OTHERS OUT. SOCIAL MEDIA IS WHERE IT COMMONLY TAKES PLACE AT AND IT USUALLY, IN MY EXPERIENCE, FORCES YOU TO BECOME UNCERTAIN AND INSECURE ABOUT YOURSELF. IF SOMEONE IS ALWAYS ON THEIR DEVICE THEY CAN EASILY BE EXPOSED TO THIS MENTALITY. OVERALL, SOCIAL MEDIA IS BAD BECAUSE IT SETS UNREALISTIC STANDARDS AND ONLY PORTRAYS THE BEST MOMENTS OF OTHERS PEOPLE'S LIVES RESULTING IN A DECREASE OF SELF-WORTH. |
