Your Plan For The Ultimate Day In LA
Elyse Ford

If you're looking for that desirable, artsy day in Los Angeles that will make for plenty of Instagram-worthy photo-op moments and make you feel like you are, indeed, having an adventure that every person seems to want nowadays, then look no further. Here's a game plan that's sure to make for tons of laughs and end in plenty of hashtags.

1. Start your morning with a workout at City of Angels Boxing

Despite getting in a killer workout in that will literally leave your muscles quivering even in the fetal position, the steady beat from the rap music pushing you (and your squats) further will have you thankful you stepped into the industrial building in the first place. You just got 100 percent tougher. And 1000 percent more bad ass. AKA it's 2000 percent the right way to start off the day.

2. Eat at Grand Central Market

After working up an appetite, head over to this outdoor market where eclectic foodies are sure to find their fix, whether that's in fresh-pressed smoothies, sushi and miso soup, sticky rice, tacos or grass-fed meat burgers. Since you worked out that means no guilt, right?

3. Walk through Los Angeles Art District

With cool, unique art fairs popping up at all corners like Artists & Fleas and murals and graffiti art beautifully transforming plain buildings into beauties of color, this is a place where photos are begging to be taken.

4. Serenade strangers in the street as you drive to Santa Monica

This is pretty self-explanatory. It's fun. It's a little ridiculous. But you're sure to make someone's day along with your own

5. Park it and go to the pier

It's kind of iconic. Treat yourself with some blue cookie monster ice cream, play the arcade games and walk to the end to look out endlessly over the pacific.

6. Wear a wig (because why not)

People do weird stuff in Los Angeles all the time, yeah? And this time you have an alter ego. Have friends walk up to you and say "Can I take a photo?" Believe it or not, people will think you're famous. And for all they know...you are, right?

7. Walk along Third Street Promenade

Shops, shops, shops. Shop 'til you drop or until you care to be entertained with street performers in between stores. The only place where you'll see a five year old decked out in Adidas "twerking like Miley" for tips outside of ZARA.

8. Go to Perry's Cafe on the beach to catch the sunset

Wiggle your toes in the sand while you enjoy Mahi Mahi tacos and watch beach volleyball games just steps away. When the sun goes down on the water, there's not a prettier place to be.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
