The Milan Series: Week I
Amanda West Instagram

Buongiorno, Readers,

Ciao from Milano! I am so excited to be on this University of Southern California Winslow-Maxwell Fashion Business Photography/Videography Internship! I am getting settled in in Milano, as I arrived last Friday morning. I have been going to Italian school daily, and then going on adventures in the afternoons! Check out my daily blog on my professional photography/videography business website for the full report. I have only been here a week, but I've done so much from my bucket list already! Here are the top 10 places I've been in Milano so far (and I recommend you do them too)!:

1. Duomo di Milano

Worth all the flights of stairs. Every. Single. One.


2. Luini Panzerotti

The best piece of fried bread stuffed with mozzarella and pomodoro.


3. Bulgari Hotel


Yes, as in the one owned by the jewelers. Almost as gorgeous as their pieces, which are actually on display in the lobby.


4. Gucci Flagship Store


Visit the world's largest Gucci store, and have a sparkle queen moment.


5. Via Montenapoleone in Quadrilatero della Moda

Pucci, Fendi, Prada, Gucci, Versace, Valentino, Van Cleef, Cartier, La Perla... The stores are endless... A street of heaven.


6. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II


The other fashion heaven. It's right next to the Duomo, so it's the cathdral della moda 😉 Plus, it has my favorite LV collection... LV x Koons!!!


7. ParcoMilano Apertivos in Parco Sempione

10 Euros for mussels, pizza, fried risotto balls, olives, chips, and a drink. I call that a DEAL!


8. The canals in Navigli


Mini Venice. Enough said. Lucky I live in this part of Milano!


9. Cioccolati Italiani

Only the most famous Italian gelateria. Nutella, nutella, and, oh, more NUTELLA!


10. Ferrari Store


Vroom, vroom. Skrrt, skrrt.


XO,

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:

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.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

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.
