Beautiful Eats
La Jolla, San Diego

            
Overlooking the turquoise waters of La Jolla and serving up irresistible dishes is the Brockton Villa. The current structure that serves hundreds of guests each day is a renovated beach cottage that was built in 1894. The contemporary charm, with its white beams and unique oyster shell/concrete fireplace, is an indistinguishable blend of the old and the new.


When it comes to the food, however, there is no question of freshness. I visited the Brockton Villa for breakfast and ordered one of the establishment’s signature dishes, Coast Toast. The French toast was so moist that I had to agree with the menu’s claim; it was very much like a soufflé in texture. The hint of orange, berry dipping sauce and overall sweetness were expertly balanced by the saltiness of the seasoned potatoes.




All of this was enjoyed beside the ocean, looking out from what truly felt like a beach cottage. Considering the quality of my meal, the view, the price and the overall experience, I was very pleased and I would highly recommend it to others. I hope to stop there again myself. And I would like to note that I made this trek mid-January, proving that La Jolla lives up to its name and reputation all year round.

Three Ways to Reduce Loans While You Are Still in School

When it came to paying off my student loans, I understood that the bulk of it would have to be done after I walked across the stage to get my diploma. However, I was eager to make the most of my time and money in the interim of being a full-time student and you should be too. There are several things you can do in the midst of college to save yourself thousands of dollars. 1. Pay off interest while you are still in school. If you allow interest to accrue, that amount will add onto your principal loan amount, which will result in more interest accruing and more debt come the start of your repayment period. Still not convinced? Try this little trick. Multiply your interest rate by the current principal balance of your loan. Then, divide that number by 365 (number of days in a year). The result is how much interest is accruing daily. Example: (4.4% x $21,000)/365 = $2.53 That may not seem like much, but it sure grows when your are lying in bed trying to sleep at night. 2.

There comes a time in every student's college career when they are faced with that frightening question, "What if I don't get a job in my field of study?" In 2013, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York* released study results showing that only 27 percent of college graduates had a job related to their major. That's not a very comforting number. However, regardless of what job you land, it's important to understand that  college will still be one of the best investments you ever make in yourself . Here's why: 1. In today's market, there is a positive relationship between education level and income.  That means, the person who received a bachelors degree is likely to make more money over their lifetime than the person who only holds a high school diploma. Even if your career is unrelated to your major, you could still be making a good sum of money. 2. College challenges your way of thinking. The people you meet and the classes you take will for

Thanks for joining for part two of "Four Reasons You Should Do an Internship for Yourself." This blog was inspired by my internship, which I am more grateful for every day. The position taught me about my professional value and the importance of being trustworthy in the little tasks, which I went into more detail in part one . Wondering how an internship could benefit you? Continue reading for two more reasons why you should do an internship for yourself.  Be an actual team player. Confession: there were times in school when I did more than my fair share on group assignments. Reality: no potential employer wants to hear that. In an internship, regardless of how small your tasks seem, you are contributing to the team. This was probably one of my favorite aspects of my internship. I had multiple tasks that belonged to me. If I did not get these done, nobody would. Then, I had other tasks that were rotated through the Communications team, like writing articles on
