6 Reasons To Make Palm Springs Your Next Vacation Spot

Dave's Travel Corner

Los Angeles. Orlando. Cabo. New York City. Been there, done that!

Palm Springs is and always has been one of the best-kept vacation secrets. Home to the classic Hollywood stars such as Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe and Debbie Reynolds, Palm Springs is the place for you to be for your next getaway.

1. Food. Food. FOOD.

From Downtown Palm Springs or The River at Rancho Mirage, you won't be able to get enough good food! Pick your price, flavor, and style. From a coffee shop to a four-course dinner, you can't pick a wrong place to chow down while visiting.

Author's Picks: Las Casuelas and LuLus!

2. Shop your heart out... at a discounted rate!

Take a short drive through a field of wind mills to find one of the best shopping oasis's ever (probably). Cabazon is one of the best outlet malls you can ask for. Pick up some Lucky Jeans half off or a brand new Coach purse for 75% off. There's always a sale to shop for. If you're lucky, you may even run into a pop-up store such as Wildfox!

Author's Picks: Alice and Olivia outlet and Wildfox pop-up store!

3. Does anybody need a spa day?

If you're looking for an authentic spa experience, then you chose the right place. Palm Springs and Desert Springs (another short drive away) has world class day spas and resorts to indulge in. Soak in mineral waters, get dirty in a mud bath or massage your troubles away. There are endless opportunities to finally take a step away from your crazy life and breathe in the fresh air.

Author's Picks: The Springs

4. Maybe you're more of an adventure type...

Hop on board of the world's largest rotating tram car or go off road in a dune buggy. Palm Springs is jammed back with exciting, unique adventures for you to get involved in. From plane rides to rock climbing, I'm sure you'll find something to fill your inner adrenaline junky, no matter what your speed is.

Author's Picks: Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

5. Festivals, fairs, and expos. Oh, my!

From fashion week to Comic-Con, Palm Springs has something going on for your liking. Downtown and surrounding areas are filled with activities, events and free expos for you to experience. There's something happening every week for you to get involved in!

Author's Pick: VillageFest, every Thursday night in downtown.

6. Art and culture galore!

Palm Springs is filled with museums, galleries, art walks and estates to explore. Whether you're more of a modern art muse or a history buff, you'll find something to meet your artistic taste buds. Palm Springs is home to many local and international artists.

Author's Picks: Palm Spring's Art Museum

It's time to treat yourself like a star and take a trip down to Palm Springs, California. No matter what the occasion, Palm Springs will meet your needs and expecations for your next vacation.

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.

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.
