Oh my god, another playlist?
I still remember the first plane ride I took overseas. I was a bubbly and expectant teenager and the nine-hour flight had rendered me deliriously excited.
I started crying before we landed in Copenhagen, Denmark from a combination of sleep deprivation and love for my ancestral homeland. I was so so happy.
That summer, traveling through Scandinavia and Ireland, I became more of who I am, I'm sure of it.
This summer, I'm headed back. This time with my best friend in tow again, but we're on our own for most of it.
We're planning on traveling all over Europe and having a great time of it. Growing, and learning, and enjoying ourselves.
I'm overjoyed to be able to spend another European summer growing and loving.
I'm sure I'll again come back more of me having seen the other side of the world.
I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
As a college student, my roommates and I are always looking for fun things to do in between the homework, classes, and stress. Unfortunately for us, we're in college. Meaning we constantly live off of ramen and energy drinks.
For the longest time, we sat around in our apartment weekend after weekend doing absolutely nothing. That is until we realized there's a whole other world right outside of our windows, and it's actually affordable!
Here is a complete list of inexpensive things to do around LA. Whether you're a local or a tourist, there's a ton of different things to enjoy.
The perfect place to visit this season. The Flower Fields located in Carlsbad, are open to the public every year! The last day to visit them is May 8th. Entrance is $14, and they're open daily from 9-6.
On the second Sunday of every month, take a trip to the Rose Bowl Flea Market for some great finds!
Probably one of the coolest bookstores in LA. Tons of interesting book structures and architecture, and amazing art on display. Located on Spring Street, in Downtown LA.
Check out this museum's serial killer exhibit. Located on Hollywood BLVD, open from 11AM - 8PM. Admission is $15.
A very unique place to explore. Tons of beautiful graffiti, Located in San Pedro.
Located on Wilshire BLVD, and admission is free! This summer they are hosting "Made in LA", an exhibition featuring LA based artists.
Another awesome flea market, Located on Melrose Avenue every Sunday.
Friday night football games, late night parking lot hangouts and the importance of your last name is what primarily makes up living in a small town. Even though I was not originally from my small town in grew up in it. Don't get me wrong I love certain things about it and has its certain perks but it wasn't like the movies.
Football, football and more football is what my small town revolved around. If you didn't play football then what we're you in this town. To me, this was a small minded out look but who am I to judge. I love football but I don't feel I should be degraded for not wanting to play. Not playing doesn't revoke my "man card" or make me any less than what I am.
Second thing that kills me is if you do not have the right name then you are once again, a nobody. My parents not being from here made me a nobody. Eventually, throughout high school I made a name for myself and people grew to respect me. Even though I did make a name for my self not everyone knew me so opportunities others had I did not have the fortune of getting. My name is also not who I am it is just what I identify by and should not change your view of the person I am.
One side of this small town that I loved though was late night parking lot hangouts. It may seem a nuisance to many but we never harmed anyone and just chilled. It was a good feeling tired have a group of people to just chill with and not worry about being in trouble. The police see it as a bad thing but worse things could've been done. I've met many people that I would have never normally talked to if we're not for a metal meeting ground.
Don't think I didn't like my town there are a lot of amazing things about here. I just wanted to touch on the few things that drove me crazy. To my friends and family that may read this, I just want let you know I love you and you are the reasons I loved my community.
