(LACMA, Oceans, and UCLA’s A+ dining hall food)A while ago, some friends and I went to LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). We got up pretty early for a Saturday morning, called a couple Ubers, and set off. After a little bit of a mishap trying to meet up with everyone, we finally got in line for tickets. The first building we went to had this huge black sculpture that covered the entire lobby of the building. We walked around some of the rooms around it and then headed to this giant interactive installation that looked like spaghetti noodles. (Picture below) As we walked around to the different exhibits, I realized that the scale of this museum was huge. I guess I was expecting it to be a lot smaller. My friends, who are all mostly from California, love to make fun of me for being fascinated with things in LA because they think Colorado is a barren land with nothing interesting. When we went to Santa Monica beach a couple weeks earlier, I was super pumped to see the ocean which they though was hilarious… because its “just the ocean.” (Yeah I’m talking about you P$ and Tim.) But what do you expect from someone who has lived in landlocked states their entire life?? I’m always overly pumped to see the ocean. After looking at a lot of different exhibits, we stumbled upon this hands-on painting thing for kids and decided to try it. Here is our beautiful artwork (first picture): The final “exhibit” we looked at was those famous white lamps that have kind of become the museum’s staple image. We took A BUNCH of pictures and Facebook got to see a lot of them. We stopped by Chipotle afterwards, which was the first time I’ve had it in L.A. Thank goodness for franchise restaurants. Okay, so in a really rapid topic change…. I just have to write about the quality of the dining halls at UCLA. Though nobody is going to choose a college based on food, I think it could be the tipping point. The food here is actually amazing. Which is great. But also not good for my freshman 15 count. Overall, college has been great. And I’m very in love with L.A. Seriously, I would kill to have this kind of weather year round.
