Dearest Fellow Procrastinators:

Why, hello there! Do you find yourself reading this article as an escape from the work, studying, or other boring thing you're supposed to be doing right now? 🤔 If the answer is yes... Good! Prepared procrastinators like me love to do the same!

Prepared procrastinator (n): someone who studies really hard and attends every class all semester long so that he/she can spend finals enjoying his/her life.

So, during ☠️ hell ☠️ week, while, well, all hell breaks loose, I convince my stressed-out friends to go on dope adventures with me throughout the lovely city of Los Angeles in which we am so hashtag blessed to live. 😍

Here are the 10 best activities to do during finals season if you're trying to blow off the workload, sit back, and relax:

1. Brunch at L.A.'s most popular spot. On a MONDAY!!!


We had the delicious sorrel pesto rice bowl, turmeric tonics, and brioche toast with strawberry jam and organically freshly milled almond hazelnut butter, ofc.


2. Visit the Beverly Hills Mansion's sprawling greens & gardens overlooking the City of Angels.

The gorgeous views will ease your finals pains.


3. Eat a late dinner at the men who own all of L.A.'s restaurants signature restaurant instead of studying for that stats 8 AM final the next day...

Is it possible to marry pizza? Because, if so, I'm marrying Ham&Yeezy.


4. Hit one of your baes' SoulCycle classes downtown.


Tap. It. BACK! The studying, that is... Push it back as far as possible, lol.


5. Try the famous mint lemonade at Mercado. Make sure to dress the part.

Tan and toned! Always! Be! Prepared! To! KILL IT!


6. Hang out at the rose gardens right on campus.


Beautiful and convenient distraction.


7. Teach- or take- some yoga sculpt!

Namaslay all day. (In order to avoid studying, obv).


8. Shop the vintage digs for which Silver Lake is famous.

The Fox Hole's my personal favorite. Bought several patches, my favorite of which is a cactus wearing booty shorts that doubles as a middle finger. Very me.


9. Drink your finals struggles away at the best boba in the 9-0.


We got the mango passionfruit tea... Life-changing. Worth the trip.


10. Hit the beach in Santa Monica

The pier, beach volleyball, sun, surf, and sand will shine while the finals stresses fade away!


I hope you enjoyed hearing about my relaxing, fun, and adventurous week, and that you get the chance to do some of these things when you're in L.A.! DM me on Instagram with suggestions for what you'd like to hear me write about/report on right here on my blog!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
