A few months ago I published "5 Ways To Explore The City Of Angels” detailing some of the things you could do when visiting LA, or if you are a college student like me who is still acting like a tourist for her first few months at USC (and will probably continue to act when I go back after the summer break…).

I really recommend reading it, especially before reading this article, not that it’s necessary, but will give you a few more ideas (maybe even photo related) as to the places to visit in LA. From fast food restaurants to the aesthetically pleasing areas that we’ve all seen on our Instagram feeds, all of these locations will provide you an area for not only for some good quality photo shoots, but some touristy attractions for your next trip to LA.

1. Rose Garden

Probably the most stereotypical one, but still aesthetically pleasing. Or you know if this doesn’t work for you, take a trip to the flower section of your favorite crafts store.

2. Metro station (yes you heard me)

One tidbit on this area though: please don’t disturb the people who are actually trying to use the public transport.

3. Streets of downtown LA

Literally just quickly stop in the middle of an interesting road (while looking for cars of course) and have someone snap a photo. Extra props if at night!

4. Little shops

Literally, any small shop in LA will have some sort of background for Instagram photos (such as Baes, Alfred Coffee, Angel City Brewery, Mr. Holmes Bakehouse, The Last Bookstore, etc.). Don’t be shy though because you are going to get looks when snapping the photos.

5. Any park or field

Grand and/or Griffith Park are my recommendations for nearby parks, but if you’re looking for a meadow, you’re going to have to make an extra trip for that. Most are more than an hour away, but worth it!

6. Arts district

A no-brainer, especially if you want a pop of color for your background

7. In 'N Out

Or honestly any fast food place, but it seems somewhat poetic for In 'n Out to be the fast food photoshoot choice by the number of people who rave about it in LA

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
