Winter really is here! It’s hard to tell in Los Angeles when the weather reporter is constantly saying 75 degrees and sunny, but no! The rain was in full force today. Aside from that, today I want to tell you readers a little bit about the different events that UCLA organizes for its prospective first-year…

Academic Advisement
Hey readers! I hope all is well with your daily lives and such. For the most part my daily life has been fantastic. Even though I’ve been unusually busy this week, I made a goal to set an appointment with my academic advisor. An academic advisor is comparable to a counselor; he or she is…
Back to the Beginning
Hello all! It’s the beginning of the quarter again and Week 1 is in full swing. I want to start by saying I hope everyone had a great break. It was much needed and greatly appreciated, but now its time to get back to work. Over the next week, I’ll be focusing on my…
Fa la la la la Fall Quarter is over!
Winter quarter is right around the corner, which means that I survived my first quarter at UCLA. Congratulate me because it was a little rocky. New place. New job. New people.

Let’s not forget sleeping. Outside of the academia of college life, students must delegate time to spend with friends and family as well. From what I’ve learned over…
Welcome to Hogwarts

It’s a running joke among all the students, mainly because of its grand architecture (and because we’re so smart, just like Hermione). The original campus once consisted of just four buildings: Royce Hall, the Physics-Biology Building, the College Library (Powell Library), and the…
The Best Place to Study
So to begin, many exciting things have been happening during my first two weeks at UCLA. Of course Zero week was a blast, but now first week is here, and it’s time to get serious. Studying for college courses can be very different, depending on how well you studied in high school. Professors don’t just…
