Los Angeles. Whether positively or negatively associated, there's no denying it's abundance of activities. North, East, South or West, there is always something to do, see or eat. However, some sights are just overrated or simply boring. Walk of Fame? Done that. Wax Museam? Done that too. So let's take a look into LA's less traveled to excursions.


Venice Canal Historic District

It's home to man-made canals built in 1905 by developer Abbot Kinney. Part of his Venice of America, Kinney hoped to recreate the appearance and feel of Venice, Italy. Although many of the canals have been filled up due to the rise of automobiles, it is a gorgeous place to take a stroll and step into another country right in your backyard!


Museum of Neon Art

MONA is a museum that was created to spark curiosity through the preservation and interpretation of neon art. It's located in Glendale so not too far of a drive from LA. It's sure to be an enlightening experience.


El Matador State Beach

The most scenic beach in Malibu (my own opinion) which provides fun for everyone. It has gorgeous cliffs that provide beautiful backdrops, has fun waves and plenty of sand to suntan on. A picnic lunch is a must. Also, be sure to stay around for sunset, it's worth it!


Chocolate Chair

Chocolate Chair is a restaurant located in West Hollywood and it's making a scene with it's new dessert. Dubbed "Dragon's Breath", it is a multi-colored cereal like dessert coated in liquid nitrogen. When you eat it, you can blow smoke-like air out of your mouth. Hence the name.

The Broad

Slowly gaining more and more attention, this museum of contemporary art located in downtown LA is a sight you don't want to miss. Admission is free, however, you do have to wait in a line and they only give out so many tickets, so be sure to get there early. The picture above is from Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room. There are a broad amount of art for all tastes.


Descanso Garden


The perfect place for family, friends and lovers alike. This location includes a rosarium, Japanese tea house, lilac garden, bird sanctuary, xeriscape, and a gift shop. This 150 acres opens at 9 so it's perfect to visit after a nice brunch!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
