Find Me Here... - - - Find me here: entering a place surrounded by nature with multiple different pathways, gardens, a café, and a gift shop conveniently located near the entrance where you can purchase books, small jars of jams, and children’s toys. The faint smell of flowers and fresh cut grass surrounds me as I watch people go about their daily routines: meditating in open fields, climbing uphill, walking leisurely with their children peacefully sleeping in strollers, and ...people of all ages sitting on uniquely crafted wooden benches reading or simply taking in the serene sounds of narrow, gentle streams of water nearby. An ideal place of peace and healing for true nature enthusiasts. Written By: Sevana Abramyan

FIND ME HERE... - - - Find me here where most of my savings evaporate for a good reason; it is really delicious. The first thing I see when entering this restaurant is the distribution of soft lights that brings me a scenes of calmness. I hear the sounds of people chatting,laughing, and sometimes singing around a birthday cake, and feel that good energy. Certainly, the smell of these tasty plates arouses my daydreaming while waiting for my name to be called. Once seated on th...e restaurant’s spongy and comfortable booth, I become seriously hungry and ready to taste the festival of flavors and spices, as if this is my last meal on earth, so If ask where I am now, you will find me here at The Cheesecake Factory.

Who is 7500? - - - As many of us has faced the pressure of real life, only a handful would take on this challenge with a smile on his face. He would use a quote from a Russian tale to venture on throughout his day as, the morning is wiser than at night. Abdulmajeed Alghamdi, a 24 year old Psychology Student from Saudi Arabia, once felt the pressure of society as he was continuing his education in architecture until one day he stood up and said no to all that!

Who is 7500? - - - Saa Kamal Khojan sits in a crowded computer lab as we try to make conversation. Not only is she bubbly and enthusiastic, but you can tell that her element is being close to others, especially when she’s doing her interior architecture work. The real Saa, on the other hand, woefully regrets as we become acquainted, how she feels she is missing out on life living with her phobia of animals. While we continue to talk, it is evident of her distracted nature i...n a class of 20 people talking loudly amongst each other. This is the exact reason, she says, she built a wall around her work area in her architecture studio. Not only is she excited for her future as a designer, but she continues to explain her dream of designing interior spaces for families in Saudi Arabia. Written By: Solomon Carreiro

Who is 7500? Cutting through the luminous chatter of the sunbeam kissed classroom, a laidback voice settles in the center of it all. This is my final semester this is it. This is it. This voice belongs to fifth year architecture student and Los Angeles native Jeremiah Bergara, a soon-to-be Woodbury University graduate planning on working for the city in addition to starting his own firm. Carrying himself with a confident composure, he’s in no rush at all he’s wholly pres...ent and taking stock of the moment, responding in a welcoming tone and sharing several laughs. These are several traits that lend incredibly well to his role as a dungeon master for some Dungeons and Dragons campaigns he’s a part of, something he cherishes when he’s not exploring the food or hobby scene of the city. Whatever comes his way, Jeremiah is more than prepared to own it and make the best of it. Written By: Christian Lopez

Who is 7500? - - - Alyssa Mondy already possesses an impressive resume and a range of intriguing experiences at the age of twenty-two. Originally from Palos Verdes, Mondy recalls major milestones via storytelling. A competitive hip-pop dancer for six years beginning at the age of sixteen, she was a participant of the BET Experience at the Los Angeles Convention Center during which the team went to Worlds, past the USA Championship. Following a successful dance phase, Mondy de...cided to focus more of her attention on music. An athletic and social individual, she was not only an equestrian for four years from age twelve to sixteen perfecting routines by practicing dressage and jumping in the ring, but was also a child actor. At age eight, she was working for well-known brands including Disney, Nickelodeon, Target, Cannon Printers, and various magazines both commercial and print. Although she attempted to reenter the industry, there were certain aspects she simply disliked and recognized that she was no longer passionate about the work. In her own words, she did not have the means or the mindset to go against certain things in the industry at such a young age; an issue many child actors grapple with and are outspoken about in the long run. What do these similar experiences among child actors having no choice but to mature much earlier in comparison to their age demonstrate about the industry? For this reason, Mondy made the conscious decision to work behind the scenes rather than in front, center stage. With an interest in Public Relations and Communication, she aspires to be a staff publicist for a record label sometime within the next few years. Written By: Sevana Abramyan

Who is 7500? - - - If, for a second, he looked at his neighbor closely, but not too closely, Mr. B would understand that there are things in life that are more interesting than the repetitive cold nights! Instead of sleeping all night, he would see the flame of life coming through Osama, who loves exploring the world, and currently lives in LA which offers many inspiring scenes and great diversity. Osama lived in Canada for a while and wants to establish his graphic design fi...rm there, or in North America. Mr. B would learn to hear the melody of creativity that Osama uses to produce his intricate masterpieces, which can take him up to 48 hours sometimes, instead of hearing the monotonous song of crickets next to his bed window 24/7. If he could only touch hearts, the same as Osama, who loves to smile and to act with kindness toward his two dogs and his friends, he would not feel lonely. Written By: Abdulmajeed Alghamdi
