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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
