The Best Spots To Visit In Los Angeles

Now that things are slowly starting to open up in California, I know more people will be planning trips to visit the best city in the Golden State! So here are some notes from someone who has lived in LA her whole life. Do the touristy stuff if you must, but take it from me and add these spots to your trip!

Redondo Beach

Everyone hypes of Malibu, or Laguna or even Manhattan beach, but this is my personal favorite spot. It's famous for surfing, but if you're like me, and don't surf, this is the perfect local spot with a bajillion cute stores and restaurants just off the beach!

Nick Metropolis Collectible

This place takes thrifting to a whole new level. Instead of clothes, they've got furniture, artwork, and other odds and ends that you'll absolutely love!

The Getty Museum

I know not everyone likes museums, but I do, so listen up! This place, on top of having famous artwork from artists Van Gogh and Rembrandt, it is famous for its stunning architecture and beautiful garden! If for nothing else, go for the pics!

LACMA

Most people visit this place, but never go inside! You know, the place with all the lampposts where everyone goes to take their pictures? Yep! That's the one. Do it! Go inside, see all of the exhibits, and consider yourself an art genius because you can brag to all your friends you saw the rain room or learned a lot about modern art.

Studio tours

This is the one touristy thing that I will encourage. Just be careful to pick the right tour, and do the studio's official tour, and not someone's random Hollywood tour that will totally rip you off! I'd recommend checking out Paramount, Universal, Sony, or Warner Brothers!

Pink's Hot Dogs

I don't care if you say you hate hot dogs, because I do too. But for real, these hot dogs are unlike any others you will have in your life. So go get one and be transformed.

The Original Farmer's Market

This farmer's market has everything, and I literally mean everything. Any kind of food you could possibly be craving, they've got it. It's at The Grove mall, so if you wanna increase your chances of meeting a celebrity while you're in LA, definitely pay this spot a visit!

Thrift stores

Thrifting in LA hits different. Just think, designer brands in Goodwill for just a couple bucks? Say less! My favorite spots are Buffalo Exchange, Jet Rag, Squaresville, and Out of the Closet, but never shy away from staple places like Goodwill or Salvation Army!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
