These past 3 weekends I’ve spent time with my friends going to LA. I’ve got to see so many new things like seeing the Hollywood sign up close for the first time, being able to actually go on the rides at Santa Monica pier and seeing many beautiful views from a distance.
When I saw the Hollywood sign I didn’t actually get the chance to go up to it. It was more of a driving by kinda thing although we were going to go up to it, but then there was no parking.
To start off, I 100% did not want to go on the rides at Santa Monica because I personally don’t like roller coasters, but unfortunately my friends want me to go on so bad so I ended up going and I was terrified the entire ride, I wanted off. After the ride was over I was able to get off and get food which was the bright side.
As far as the beautiful views each day after LA we would drive to the beach around 7 when the sun started to go down and at night when the rides are all still lit up and with the sound of the ocean in the background is so relaxing and it just gives you some time to yourself to think.
These 3 weeks have been very helpful, though after a long week at school getting work done, sometimes it’s nice to just get up and go out with some friends, and those would definitely be the days I live for.
