Dearest Fellow Procrastinators:

Why, hello there! Do you find yourself reading this article as an escape from the work, studying, or other boring thing you're supposed to be doing right now? 🤔 If the answer is yes... Good! Prepared procrastinators like me love to do the same!

Prepared procrastinator (n): someone who studies really hard and attends every class all semester long so that he/she can spend finals enjoying his/her life.

So, during ☠️ hell ☠️ week, while, well, all hell breaks loose, I convince my stressed-out friends to go on dope adventures with me throughout the lovely city of Los Angeles in which we am so hashtag blessed to live. 😍

Here are the 10 best activities to do during finals season if you're trying to blow off the workload, sit back, and relax:

1. Brunch at L.A.'s most popular spot. On a MONDAY!!!


We had the delicious sorrel pesto rice bowl, turmeric tonics, and brioche toast with strawberry jam and organically freshly milled almond hazelnut butter, ofc.


2. Visit the Beverly Hills Mansion's sprawling greens & gardens overlooking the City of Angels.

The gorgeous views will ease your finals pains.


3. Eat a late dinner at the men who own all of L.A.'s restaurants signature restaurant instead of studying for that stats 8 AM final the next day...

Is it possible to marry pizza? Because, if so, I'm marrying Ham&Yeezy.


4. Hit one of your baes' SoulCycle classes downtown.


Tap. It. BACK! The studying, that is... Push it back as far as possible, lol.


5. Try the famous mint lemonade at Mercado. Make sure to dress the part.

Tan and toned! Always! Be! Prepared! To! KILL IT!


6. Hang out at the rose gardens right on campus.


Beautiful and convenient distraction.


7. Teach- or take- some yoga sculpt!

Namaslay all day. (In order to avoid studying, obv).


8. Shop the vintage digs for which Silver Lake is famous.

The Fox Hole's my personal favorite. Bought several patches, my favorite of which is a cactus wearing booty shorts that doubles as a middle finger. Very me.


9. Drink your finals struggles away at the best boba in the 9-0.


We got the mango passionfruit tea... Life-changing. Worth the trip.


10. Hit the beach in Santa Monica

The pier, beach volleyball, sun, surf, and sand will shine while the finals stresses fade away!


I hope you enjoyed hearing about my relaxing, fun, and adventurous week, and that you get the chance to do some of these things when you're in L.A.! DM me on Instagram with suggestions for what you'd like to hear me write about/report on right here on my blog!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
