Allen Ceja, who went to LMU, said that they walked around and the first thing they did was go and eat at the school cafeteria.
After they ate, they walked around the campus and there was a lot of grass and greenery, so they decided to sit in the grass for a little bit.
Next, they went into the church at the school because it was a Catholic-based college. After, they went to look at some of the classes and then got Starbucks and relaxed with the time they had left.
