At the end of a long week marked by the final capture of the second suspect of the mysterious marathon bombings in Boston, we send our deepest condolences to runners, spectators, and rescuers who unfortunately fell into harm’s way at the time of the explosions. On Tuesday, April 23rd in Bruin Plaza, UCLA and our…

An Unlikely Place To Find A Mentor
One of the most popular questions I hear from prospective students and their parents in my time at Undergraduate Admissions is about the student-professor gap. They want to know the steps UCLA is taking to bridge that gap, and what resources/opportunities are available to undergraduate students in that regard. I would be lying if I…
Goals for Winter ’13
It’s a new quarter, and what better time to set some goals in addition to those New Year’s Resolutions? After a wonderfully restful two and a half weeks spent in Vancouver with family, it’s time to get back in the groove of things. I’m particularly excited about a few things coming up this quarter, including…
Changing my graduation plans
It’s hard to believe that this very day three years ago, I had just finished my first round of finals as a freshman at UCLA. It has been a long and hard (but rewarding) journey since then, and I can barely believe how far I’ve come. In September, I began the quarter with the end…
Beat ‘SC Bonfire & Rally 2012
What an incredible and spirited week it has been at UCLA! In the final countdown before the big game with our crosstown rival, we prepared ourselves and made sure our entire campus community was feeling the spirit and enthusiasm it takes to give our team extra reassurance and strength to head over to the Rose…
2012 Presidential Elections at UCLA
What a night! The long-anticipated Election Day has come and gone, and the campus is left buzzing (along with the rest of the nation) through our Facebook status updates and Tweets, offering each Bruin’s own two cents on the race for the presidency. Landfair Avenue, typically frequented by residents whose apartments line the hilly street,…
The season of goodbyes
Spring quarter is always the most difficult for me to finish because it marks the end of a school year and the culmination of their UCLA experience for an entire class of seniors. In a week, I will be losing a handful of my favorite people at UCLA, and they will head off into the…
Prepping for an annual spring concert
Since the fall of 2010, I have dedicated myself to a wonderful community service group on campus called YOUTHphonics A Cappella. Despite being an interdigitation of students with majors from all over campus, varying interests, and different musical preferences, one thing we have in common is our passion for singing and sharing music with local…
A field trip to the Botanical Garden
I don’t think there was ever a time in my life when I didn’t love field trips. Whether they were informative and educational or purely excursionary in nature, I always enjoyed taking a day off from the classroom setting and stepping out into the real world. On Wednesday, I did just that with my Forest…
Thunder in Westwood
Just when I thought I had had it with Westwood weather for being strangely chilly all week, it gives us what we’ve all been waiting for… a thunderstorm. Maybe not all of us, but personally I have always had a strange fascination and obsession over thunderstorms. Growing up, I was often the only girl in…
