LA Day Four

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've caught you up with my LA travels, so I wanted to finally tell you about my last day in LA.
On my last day, my roommates Monica, Jene and Jessica and I went across the state. We got a tour from Monica's friend Jessica around Beverly Hills area. Sadly, we didn't see any famous celebrities.

The Grove sign.
We went to the Grove, where many celebrities would hang out and have coffee. I had my first crepe, and honestly, it was delicious. We also got to walk around a bit, and they had a lot of really cute shops.

After the Grove, we went to Rodeo Drive where we saw the Beverly Hills sign. (and took a TON of pictures) We then walked around a bit, and I even got a picture with the Tiffany's sign. (Dream job, honestly.)

After that, we met the rest of the newspaper staff for dinner at a Mexican restaurant to end our final day in LA. I had such a great time there, and the opportunity was amazing. I am so glad that I got to spend it with some amazing people, such as Monica, Jene, and Jess. Since coming back, we actually have been hanging out, and will be doing the Big Event at our campus together at the end of the month.

So, I hope you enjoyed my LA recaps! :)

LA Day 2: Universal Studios & First Day of Conferences

Hey everyone! Here's the second day of my LA trip!
 
Universal Studios
In the morning, we went to breakfast at Universal Studios. Unfortunately, the only place open was Starbucks, but since it's been forever since I've had some, I was excited. (After all, who isn't excited about Starbucks?) Then, we did a little bit of window shopping. Unfortunately, City Walk shops were closed for the most part so we had to go back later.
 
More City Walk.
Then, I went to an interesting conference about photojournalism. After the conference, I ran to my room, put on my bathing suit, and spent some time by the pool. Since it was so warm, I was enjoying every minute. After all, being from the Northeast, who can say that they were in a pool in Feb.!
 
Poolside.
After that, we had a keynote speaker-Rory Kennedy. She talked about her new documentary as well as answered the questions of aspiring journalists.
After the keynote, my roomates and I were hungry so we went back to City Walk. This time, everything was open and there were a lot of people around. We first got dinner, which was at a delicious steakhouse. I had chicken tenders, because as a pollotarian, steak isn't an option. To keep it healthy, I had a side salad.

After that, we went shopping. I unfortunately forgot my wallet, so I was panicking. Luckily, it was on the bed, so crisis averted. We were going to see an Alexz Johnson concert, however, we first decided to take a nap first. I had a hard time waking up, so I ended up staying in.
Overall, my second day was awesome! Come back for day 3!
