I normally don’t associate UCLA with politics, but for one week during Spring quarter its all about elections.

The “perks” of living in Los Angeles

I know I’ve said this before (but I’m going to say it again anyways)…The Getty Museum is one of my all time favorite places in LA! No matter how many times I visit the Getty, it just keeps getting better. Every experience at the Getty is different, but it is always worth the bus ride…

From LA to Indio
This past weekend me and a few friends from UCLA left Los Angeles and road tripped two hours inland to Indio, California for the Coachella Music and Arts Festival.
