We know. Life in California is awesome. The beaches? Awesome. The friendly people? Awesome. The weekend trips to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Lake Tahoe, Julian, Santa Barbara? Awesome. And, of course, living in San Diego or San Francisco while studying English at CISL is AWESOME.
What’s not awesome? Not having enough words to describe these experiences, resulting in overuse of this very awesome word!
To help our students describe their next fish taco, Giants game, or trip to LA, we have a list of synonyms for awesome. Enjoy! The list is awesome amazing!
