Copyright 2011 Pamela Springsteen For the past three quarters, I have been a part of the UCLA Chamber Ensemble. Sounds pretty fancy, huh? But surprisingly, you don’t have to be a musical prodigy to be in it. It is actually a class that is open to UCLA students of any major. The only requirement is…
Author: Hayoung Youn
My name is Hayoung Youn, and I'm here to share a little bit about my life and my thoughts. I was born in Long Island, New York, and spent majority of my childhood in South Korea before moved to California in 2004. My life as an immigrant has shaped and changed me for the better. Time has definitely been flying by, and through this blog, I hope to capture the special moments that I want to carry with me for the rest of my life.
Survival Kit for Premeds: Organic Chemistry Lab
While organic chemistry class itself is daunting on its own, the lab portion is flat-out terrifying. It requires knowledge from organic chemistry as well as general chemistry, which most people in the class took at least a year ago. I heard how difficult the class is and I kind of tried to prepare for it…
Survival Kit for Premeds: Physics
Physics is notorious for being one of the most tough subjects, especially for life science majors. Going into my first class of the physics series (Physics 6A), I was really nervous. Since my high school didn’t offer AP Physics, the only physics class I had taken was a regular physics class during my junior year…
Tour D’Elegance

27th Annual Jazz Reggae Festival
Jazz Reggae Festival held at UCLA is a great way to spend the Memorial Day weekend. The two-day event highlights all-day performance of various artists, wide variety of delicious ethnic foods, and just a chill crowd of people to share the experience with. This student-run event began in 1986 as a relatively small concert…
Decisions Decisions…
Seeing groups of college tourists on campus through the last few weeks(Bruin Day!), I was reminded of the days I had to make the choice on which college I will attend. Being a haste decision-maker, I especially had a hard time making what then seemed like the most important decision of my life. I still…
Searching for Jobs or Internships?
As students are interviewing for full-time jobs and summer internships right now, I wanted to share with you a few useful resources that could help. UCLA Career Center is always a place to go to find information about summer internships, work-abroad opportunities, and much. If you are interested to get credit for interning or researching,…
Midterm Season
It’s now that time of the quarter again. Midterms are coming up for some of us *South Campus Majors. It seems like with the quarter system, I’m always studying for midterms one after another. But it’s really not as bad it sounds actually. I mean, I’d rather have my tests spread out than have them…
Pauley Pavilion Opening Madness
Pauley is back! Pauley Pavilion, our indoor stadium that had been under construction since March 2011, has finally reopened for this year’s basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics season. Thousands of students and parents gathered in the newly renovated stadium to take part in the free Pauley Pavilion Opening Madness Event held last Friday evening. The…

The first 65 donors get free t-shirts, and everyone gets a movie ticket and some food for regeneration. The floor that gets the most blood donated gets a $200 prize.
