In This Article:

If you are stuck at school or work during the week and can't find the time to enjoy your time in Los Angeles, look for some places to visit during your weekends where you can share your memories with the world!

Whether you've been raised in LA or are visiting LA for the summer, this is the best time to get those pictures flowing onto your feed!

1. Griffith Observatory

At the Griffith observatory, you can take pictures outside with the view of LA behind you, or inside with models of the planets all around you! Visit the observatory to find some of the best views in LA.

Plus, the observatory has several shows you can buy tickets for to learn about the stars.

2. Venice Canals

This is a wonderful place to visit. You can either walk across the bridges or enjoy the residential views from the water.

Either way, at sunset, this is a beautiful place to be.

3. Santa Monica Pier

The Santa Monica pier is filled with food and fun! There are caricature artists, street performers, and delicious bacon-wrapped hotdogs…and that's not even touching on the rides or restaurants. Join fellow Angelinos in enjoying the atmosphere of the pier. And once you've walked the pier, go down to the beach or head towards the city to visit the third street promenade!

4. The Last Bookstore

The Last Bookstore is well known for its flying books and book arch. Visit the bookstore for older and newer books, and then take a walk around DTLA.

5. OUE SkySpace

If you visit OUE Skyspace, you can slide down the side of the building and capture your expressions on both the entrance and exit sides to get the best photos!!

6. LA's Secret Stairs

Back in the day, there were tons of staircases connecting different places in LA where people could get to work and/or school. Some of these staircases still exist and are open for the public.

Visit the one off of Highland behind the Hollywood Bowl or the Beachwood Canyon stairs for great views of LA!

7. Getty Center or Getty Villa

These museums have amazing photo-ops all over. Show off your photography skills and change the typical angles.

8. The Broad Museum

It's safe to say every museum has its own personality and tons of photo ops! Visit the Broad for the mirror room and take a photo with the best view—you!

9. Walt Disney Concert Hall

This place is wondrous. You can take a self-led or a guided tour through the concert hall. It's architecture and design is just amazing. You can take photos inside or outside, but some of the best photos are along the patios of the hall.

Nearby you can find Grand Park, where you can take more photos, and Grand Central market, a great food hub from different places!

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
