Our writers traveled all over the nation for spring break. We headed north to Portland, Ore., south to Death Valley, Calif., and all the way to the East Coast in New York City!

HC Business Manager and writer Vanessa Gonsalves spent her Spring Break in Las Vegas, Nev. with her boyfriend Jacob Stadtfeld. Their adventures in Las Vegas included a night out on the strip, laying by the pool and a visit to the Hoover Dam! The DJ pair known as “Miss and Mister ” also attended and DJ’d at Gonsalves’s aunt’s wedding. | Photo provided by Vanessa Gonsalves

Events Editor Shareen McFall went to the USC University Village 3 theater with her family to watch The Lorax. “My mother used to read this book to me when I was a child,” McFall said, “I had to take my book with me to the theater! It was a great movie, Dr. Seuss is the best!” | Photo provided by Shareen McFall

This brilliant Parrot and seven other attention grabbing friends were a major attraction at the Santa Monica Pier over break. Calendar Editor Shareen McFall was intimidated by the Parrot’s strong beak so she cautiously admired its beauty from a distance. | Shareen McFall

Photo Blog Editor Marie F. Estrada and her boyfriend Chris Crowell spent the last Saturday of break hiking around the Presidio in San Francisco, Calif. | Photo provided by Marie F. Estrada

Editor-in-Chief Zoe Berman spent the week camping in Death Valley, Calif. with her roommate Everardo Cuevas. The 85 degree weather was a nice change from chilly Arcata. Berman and Cuevas went canyoneering and checked out the lowest point in the northern hemisphere: Badwater Basin… 282 feet below sea level! | Photo provided by Zoe Berman

Berman enjoyed the sunset from he eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. | Zoe Berman
