Devan's World

My boyfriend and I have been thinking about moving to Los Angeles, so we decided to take a vacation and visit the southern California city. We had a great time! We went to Venice Beach, where we got ice cream and did some sightseeing. We visited my friend who lives in San Diego, just south of LA, and ate delicious Mexican food and drank margaritas. We checked out tourist hot spots like the walk of fame on Hollywood Boulevard, where stars are embedded in a sidewalk bearing the names of famous people from the entertainment industry such as Jennifer Aniston and Miles Davis. 

We visited several different areas of Los Angeles to figure out where we would want to live if we moved there. After driving around downtown, Culver City, Koreatown, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Silverlake, and more, we ultimately decided that West Hollywood is the place for us. My favorite thing about it is a gigantic farmer's market that sells local produce, fresh meats, and imported goods from around the world. I would love to do my grocery shopping there!

Clearly there are many great things about LA, but there is one major downside--TRAFFIC! Have you ever been to LA? What is your impression of it?

Look at my proud dad. I did it! After four years of nonstop homework, essays, exams, group projects and lectures, I finally graduated from college. It was an incredibly trying but ultimately rewarding experience. I learned so much and made many amazing friends. As I left my last class last week with my favorite professor I've ever had, I have to say, I got a little emotional. I had taken 4 classes with this professor, and I suddenly realized that I would never be in a class with him or any of my other valued professors ever again. But I'm pretty excited to have a much needed vacation from all the work, work, work school entails!

My family and friends keep asking if I am going to go to grad school. Getting my undergraduate was so exhausting that I can't even begin to think about more college right now!

Are you in college or do you have a degree? What do you miss most about school?

I'm getting ready to go back to school next week. I have one term left, and then I graduate! Since I've already completed all my required classes, I can take electives for my final credits. All this freedom with my school schedule is making it hard for me to decide what classes to take. If I list some class options below, will you guys help me decide what to take by telling which courses sound the most interesting? I would love to get your feedback!

Here are some possible classes:

Screenwriting

French Films

Yoga

History of Rock n' Roll

American History

Pilates

Introduction to acting

Sociology

Astronomy

Do any of those classes sound like something you would want to take? Why?
