7 Dates Around LA You Need To Plan For Your Valentine's Day
SkySpace Los Angeles

Whether you're ready to spend a romantic Valentine's Day with your significant other, or you're flying solo with your squad- V-Day is a great excuse to #treatyoself and the ones you care about.

I have visited a few spots on my own in Los Angeles (#singlelife) to bring you the best date spots for this Valentine's Day in LA.

1. Get a thrill by sliding down California

Why spend your Valentine's Day at a fancy old dinner when you can get your adrenaline rushing at OUW Skyspace? If you and your boo are risk takers, a 1,000-foot slide is your perfect bet.

If you totally aren't risk takers, mix it up and step out of your comfort zone!

2. Put on your hiking boots

Using LA as your playground, the vast amount of mountains allow for endless hours of hiking and exploring. What better way to get some one-on-one time with your S.O., than a hike in the middle of nowhere?

3. Get a taste of LA

Yes, candle-lit dinners with roses at fancy restaurants are romantic.

But how trying a new cuisine in an unfamiliar neighborhood?

That is exactly what dineL.A. aims for. You can pick from a list of participating restaurants organized by cookery and community, and get a discounted price (always a plus)!

4. USC Rose Garden

If you happen upon the USC area, there is a hidden Rose Garden on Exposition, next to the Natural History Museum. The garden is a beautiful vision of every color and perfect for a scenic date night (or day).

5. Gaze at the stars from Griffith Observatory

Ever dream of reliving La La Land? How about just stargazing in the most majestic venue ever? Bring your STAR to this date spot to shine bright like the sun.

6. Appreciate the art at the MOCA

If you and your boy/girlfriend enjoy appreciating art other than your faces, The Museum of Contemporary Art is one of the best museums LA has to offer.

7. Netflix & Take-Out

Sometimes, the best dates consist of just relaxing with your boo, watching some good Netflix. With some snacks, mood lighting, and cuddles, this might be all you need this Valentine's Day.

*Bonus*: Set up a cute scene in a tent for brownie points!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
