Songkran at Wat Thai of Los Angeles
With Thai Town’s Songkran Festival canceled, you’re left with attending temple events only. Out of all the options available, I decided I’d attend the Thai New Year (Songkran) Festival held at Wat Thai of Los Angeles. The event is held for two days straight but you can pick and choose which day you prefer to attend or just attend both days if you can!

Sankranta Festival
The second annual Sankranta Festival held at Long Beach City College was supposed to start at 8 am.

I suppose with me being one of the early birds present, I could have easily gone around booths to get free totes and whatnot but in the end of it all, I ended up just not bothering to do so.

Tulane University
The United States has ivy league universities that are expensive and highly coveted by the rich, the educated and those that want to become elite in some way or another. New Orleans, Louisiana has an “ivy of the south”. Say what? Yes, Tulane University is a prestigious university known as the “ivy of the south”. Whether Tulane University actually deserves being called the “ivy of the south” is a different story, though. I feel that way too many universities are trying to categorize themselves as an “ivy” and I find that to be a bit cringey. Let’s just say it’s almost like having an influencer label themselves as an A-list online celebrity. Something along those lines…
