Café Habana
Ready for a place that’s both social and socially responsible? Visit Café

for all people, regardless of statistics, and has been practicing the
same great business at all its locations. And, the Café is described by
its creator as an “Eco-Eatery,” using sustainable resources like solar
energy and biodegradable sugarcane fiber plates. Worried about prices
for these too-good-to-be-true sustainable goods? Never fear—prices
really aren’t unreasonable at Café Habana. You may even want to apply
for a job at the Café—thanks to the community-based atmosphere, the

The Glendon Bar & Kitchen

In Westwood, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut of O’Hara’s and BrewCo.
Fortunately, the new Glendon Bar and Kitchen has opened up for both
lunch and dinner. Their menu boasts the kind of food you’d expect
from a chic restaurant, yet their prices are within reach for collegians
and recent graduates. What’s more, the Glendon Bar & Kitchen holds
two happy hours—three hours in the afternoon, perfect for post-class
or work celebration, and two late-night hours, best for your social
engagements. The service can be under-whelming at times but it’s a
good alternative when you’re over the usual Westwood haunts.
J Restaurant & Lounge

Who says high-class nightlife has to be confined to one space?
J Restaurant & Lounge redefines how you spend your evening, with tens
of thousands of square feet, two floors, and three bars for both indoor
and outdoor socializing. The indoor holds a rich and woody ambiance
for dining, chatting, and even private areas for meetings and exclusive
parties. You might feel like an old veteran exchanging war stories over
scotch in the luxe open smoking area, with first-rate cigars and a host of
whiskeys, cognacs, and other full-bodied drinks. The outdoor is incredibly
unique to J: myriad tables with umbrellas, VIP cabanas, and a grand fire
pit make for a truly unforgettable LA experience.

We admit it: we’ve officially been

bitten by the vampire craze and The
CW’s The Vampire Diaries (Thursdays
at 8 p.m.) is our latest fang-filled
obsession. With equal parts teen
angst and blood-sucking goodness,
we are hooked on the Elena, Stefan,
Damon love triangle. Throw sexy vamp
Katherine into the mix and we can’t
wait to find out what happens in the
new season, premiering this month.
We caught up with series star Nina
Dobrev, 21, at Westwood’s Hotel
Palomar for a taste of what we can
expect.
SNMag: What initially drew you to the show

and the character of Elena?
nina dobrev: Well, I remember reading
it and just being drawn to the fact that she
was this average girl who was damaged in
many ways and then I did some research and
found out that I would probably end up having
to play Katherine too, who is the complete
opposite. This is one of the rarest, coolest
opportunities in television, to play two people
on the same medium.
SNMag: What can you tell us about Katherine

coming back at the end of the finale last
season?
ND: The only thing I can really tell you is that
she’s back, and if I told you any more I’d have
to kill you or bite you or something. But, yeah,
she is back and you can just imagine now that
she’s back in action things are just going to
get more and more intense. It’s fun to see
what she is going to do because she is just
so spontaneous and crazy, but I’m just as in
the dark as you are because they don’t tell us
anything until we get there.
SNMag: Who do you have more fun playing –

Elena or Katherine?
ND: I think like anything in life, whatever
you’re deprived from or you don’t get to do as
often, you end up enjoying more than anything
else because it’s like a guilty pleasure. So,
whenever I play Katherine, because I do it
seldom, I have the most fun playing her.

SNMag: Do you think Damon and

Elena could ever have a good, healthy
relationship?
ND: “Damon” and “healthy” in the same
sentence? That’s funny! I don’t know, I
mean, with the way the season ended, it
doesn’t seem as though Damon and Elena
are an item in any way because he didn’t
really care for her. He chose Katherine.
Little does he know he is totally falling
in love with Elena but Elena truly doesn’t
feel that way. She sees him as a buddy.
She sees him as her boyfriend’s brother,
and, at times, a pain in the butt. But
their friendship and their chemistry are
definitely growing.
SNMag: If it were up to you, which

brother would you choose?
ND: Well, I would choose the other
brother, definitely – or maybe a mixture
of the two. I think both characters have
different qualities that are very appealing
so it just depends. If you combine them,
they make the perfect man because
Stefan is committed and sweet and
protective and loving, and Damon is
spontaneous and crazy and fun and
exciting. Every woman has to find that
guy who pushes all her buttons, and
Damon and Stefan push different buttons
for Elena.
SNMag: What’s it like shooting in

Atlanta?
ND: I like it, I really like it. It took a
second to get used to in the beginning
because, like any city, you have to give it
a shot and explore and find out the little
quirks about the town. But once we did,
I found so many great restaurants and
such amazing food and really great, nice,
fun people and it’s so different from New
York and LA and the big cities. We get an
opportunity to be real, average people
and hang out and go to restaurants and

guy who pushes all her buttons.” SNMag: Do you guys all hang out off set?
ND: You’d think we’d get sick of each
other by now, but we don’t somehow!
Everyone is so sweet and supportive
and loving and caring for each other. We
can’t wait to get back to Atlanta and start
filming again.
SNMag: Do you ever get to go back to

Canada to visit your family?
ND: Actually, I just went back home to
Toronto and hung out with my mom and
my brother. I don’t get to go as often as
I’d like to because of my work schedule
but when I do it makes the time with them
so much cooler. I’m really close with my
mom so I miss her a lot and she travels a

lot. She comes to visit me in Atlanta so I
get to see her often that way.
SNMag: Since the show has become more popular,

have you had any interesting fan encounters?
ND: Yeah, I’ve had tons of interesting fan encounters!
This one time, I was at yoga with my mom and this girl
came up to me while I was basically half-naked in a
dressing room and she was asking me about the show
and asked for an autograph and a picture with me
while I’m sitting there, like I said, half-naked!
SNMag: We’ve heard that you’re a very big coffee and

chocolate connoisseur - any specific preferences?
ND: Well, if we’re going to talk about coffee we’re
going to have to talk about Starbucks and Coffee Bean!
I change it up a lot, I love chai lattes and caramel
macchiatos and double chocolate chip frappucinos
with whipped cream…the sweeter the better, basically!
When I have chai, I have dirty chai lattes with
chocolate espresso in it. It’s a good pick me up. When
it comes to just chocolate, lava cake is my absolute
favorite. Hot, molten lava cake!
SNMag: What’s your feeling on this whole vampire

craze? Do you keep up with shows like True Blood or
the Twilight series?
ND: We’re all aware and supportive of each other’s
shows and I have a lot of friends in them. I just finished
shooting a movie with Kellan [Lutz], actually, a
couple days ago. Vampires are hot. They’re sexy and
mysterious and dangerous.
SNMag: Can we expect any werewolves on the show

next season? Could you give us any hints?
ND: I can’t tell you about that. Maybe, maybe not, but
I’m not allowed to talk about it. Sorry!
SNMag: When you’re not filming, how do you spend

your free time?
ND: To be honest, whenever I have free time I just
sleep. I chill and keep everything low-key. I’m a very
low-key person because the rest of my life is so fast-
paced and exciting. I like to just relax.
SNMag: Are there any spots in Los Angeles that you

especially enjoy when you’re here?
ND: I hang out in Santa Monica a lot. If I can, I love
to be by the water. And I love 25 Degrees, they have
the best burgers and so does 8 Oz.! I go shopping on
Melrose. I go to the Melrose flea market on Sundays
if I can.
SNMag: You mentioned the movie with Kellan Lutz,

Death Games, what can you share about it?
ND: The reason it appealed to me was that I always
wanted to do an action movie. Also, I wanted to play a
character that was a little older. I play a young girl in her
20s who Kellan marries. I’m his wife! So that was pretty
fun. I’m pregnant in it too, I get to have a baby belly.
SNMag: When you’re not filming, what’s your favorite

thing to do on a Saturday night when you’re not working?
ND: Two things: Either go out for an amazing steak
dinner and just indulge in yummy food and then just
watch a movie and hang out, or I’ll go out with the girls
and go to a cool, dive bar. I like intimate settings where
you can really talk and hang out with your friends and
cool people.

Things I Wish I Knew
Before I Went To College
College is often considered one of the best times of a person’s life, but it can be a little
difficult to navigate your first year as a freshman. From assignments to professors to
parties and roommates, your first year can either be the time of your life or your worst
nightmare. Here’s a little cheat sheet to help you stay one step ahead.
6 Read the syllabus

thoroughly
It sounds so high school, but it’s
important to understand what is expected of you
– professors tend to put a lot of information on
the syllabus, and you don’t want to get on the
wrong foot by asking them something that’s
literally right in front of you.
7 Find the good coffee

place on campus
Often times, finding a good cup of java on
campus is not as easy as it sounds. Save yourself
the hassle of trying to drink a cup of coffee that’ll
literally put hair on your chest and discover the
better places on campus early.
8 Internships are
crucial
You don’t know how many people graduate
with little to no experience in their field of choice.
Beat the crowd and get all the experience while
you can now, so that when you’re applying for
the same jobs as everyone else, you’ll have a
chance of standing out. A high GPA is great, but

real world experience is even better.

Horror Stories

was passed out, so I screamed and hit him and he still didn’t move. I grabbed
a cup of water and poured it on him. After he got up, I told him to go to bed,
Kevin, UC Berkeley
and he replied, “No, dude, I have to change my underwear. I’ve been wearing
these all day, they’re gross!” The boy was covered in puke. I don’t think his I had a roommate who would sleepwalk and talk. One night, I woke up and my
dirty underwear was very significant to his cleanliness. roomie was sitting on my bed staring at me – totally asleep, but her eyes were
open and she was just staring at me. Needless to say, I moved out.
Kyle, University of Oregon
Jessica, UC Berkeley
My roommate was a big stoner. His typical day would involve waking up around
2 p.m., getting high to the point where he could hardly speak and then giving
us money to go buy him and ourselves some food. His typical request (just for
him) would be HotPockets, a BOX (about 8 packets) of Kit-Kats, two bottles
of apple juice, some chips and a bag of some gummy stuff. He would put on
a movie and systematically devour ALL OF IT in one sitting. Sometimes he
would eat it all so fast he would just puke it back up. In the end, he put on
roughly 50 pounds in just freshman year. He was pretty gross.
Mike, USC
One night, I woke up because the girls down the hall were bringing my
roommate back to our room... she had been doing somersaults in the hall
while completely naked. When she got back to the room, she realized she had
peed all over her bed. She proceeded to lift up her whole mattress-pad and
hurl it off of our third floor balcony yelling, “I don’t want a pee-pee bed!”
Anonymous, USC
One night I walked in soberly at 12:30 a.m. to find my roommate sitting naked on
her bed next to her passed out, fully clothed best friend from home, with a fully
clothed man sitting at her desk. The next morning she just said, “Oh, college...”
Amanda, UCLA
My roommate was a DJ (or thought he was). He would do LSD a few times a

week to come up with that “sick new track.” I came home and he had a blond
wig on, no shirt, and toilet paper hanging out of his ears. I eventually had to
kick him out because he tried to solicit a prostitute on Craigslist and the deal
went bad. Real bad.

Jake, UCLA
My roommate’s boyfriend, “R-Pain,” used to pound on the door and scream

for me to let him in when they’d have a fight. When that didn’t work he’d tell
me he had a gun and I had to let him in. Oh, you have a gun? Ok, come right
in, Mr. Pain.

RushTips
back to school
College can be scary, but if you’re rushing a sorority or fraternity,

it can be even scarier. Not to fear, here are your must-know tips By Lisa Eberly
on rushing the house of your dreams.
For the Sorority Girls… Don’t be shy!

The whole point of Rush is to get to know the sorority girls, and you can’t
exactly do that mumbling and staring into space! Never answer a question
Eat the food! with just a few words, you want to make sure you keep talking. Try to answer
This isn’t a first date! The girls don’t want you to be anorexic, and if they their questions with a funny story, another question, anything to keep the
do, you shouldn’t want to be in their house anyway! You are supposed to conversation fresh! The worst response to any question during Rush is “good”

stressed and starving. Don’t take this the wrong way and be a human cupcake

As cheesy as this sounds, it’s true. You want to be happy in whatever

If you aren’t comfortable running a marathon in heels, it is highly recommended the top house? Who cares if there are a couple bad rumors about them?

4-inchers! The last day of Rush, when you make your final decision and only go reputations change and maybe your pledge class will be the one to turn
to a couple of houses is an acceptable day to wear your high heels. your house around!

rush tips
Don’t talk about controversial things!

Though you might feel a comfortable closeness with a girl during Rush, you still
don’t truly know her well enough to bring up controversial topics! Throughout
your life you will learn many important life lessons, and this is your first one
as a college student. There are three things that you should never discuss
with close friends: politics, religion, and ethics. So, it’s probably not the best
idea to discuss your personal opinion about abortion with an almost-stranger
because, really, you have no clue how she feels about it and that might make
or break her decision about you.
Don’t talk about other houses!

Sorority girls do not want to hear how you feel about the other sororities you’ve
been to. Not only do they not want to know, they’re not allowed to know! Rush
rules are strict, and they include an important rule about the discussion of other
sororities! So, please do not try to sound cool by making fun of another house to a
girl during Rush because, frankly, she’s just going to think you’re a bitch.
Don’t be afraid of the hair flipping!

Matching outfits, synchronized songs, automatic smiles, door stacks, and hair
flipping…who wouldn’t want to run and hide? Rush can be very intimidating
and, at times, scary. Don’t let these things turn you away from a sorority, they
are just old traditions! Trust me, you couldn’t pay most sorority girls to do a
hair flip song in the middle of the year!
It’s like a job interview…be yourself,

but your best self!
I doubt you would go to a job interview hungover in your pajamas! At a job interview,
you want to make sure that the boss likes you, but you also want to make sure that
the boss knows what he is getting. During Rush, you don’t want to be fake or
anything other than yourself, but, just like a job interview, you want to be your best
self. You want the girls can see the real you, your personality and style included.
But, because rush goes by so fast, your first impression is important, so you want
to make sure you look and act your best.

Hot off of, well, every show he’s ever made (Lost, Alias, Fringe, Felicity) writer/
producer/director/genius J.J. Abrams returns with a one-hour spy drama
that plays like a TV version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The pilot kicks off with
boring married couple Steven and Samantha Bloom being reinstated to
their former jobs as two of the best spies in the CIA. Not only are they thrust
back into the action-packed world of espionage, secret identities, gunplay
and hand-to-hand combat but they have to do it all while trying to keep their
marriage intact. Look for this to be a fun combo of snappy dialogue and
action scenes; no doubt a breakout hit of the new season.
