As week 9 comes to an end there is one thing on almost every Bruin’s mind… Summer! After one of the best quarters of the years, Bruins cannot wait to finalize summer plans and figure out where their next three months will take place. A great part of UCLA is the various options available to…

Internship Opportunities and Class Credit
While the classes I have taken on campus at UCLA have been incredibly valuable, one of the best experiences I have had is my internship class at a local elementary school. My goal is ultimately to become a teacher and having the chance to intern at an elementary for class credit has been absolutely amazing….
Back to L.A.
By the time that you read this, I will be back in Los Angeles. It is the night before I make a sort-of-a-surprise trip down to L.A. to see my friends and see my campus who I haven’t seen for a very long time. And it’s more or less overwhelming. I spent much of my…
Apartment Life
The dorm experience was one of my favorite parts of freshman year, but eventually bruins feel the need to spread their wings and venture into the intimidating world of apartments. UCLA freshman are guaranteed three years of on campus housing, but many chose to move after their second or third year to apartments off campus….
A nice break from busy

Between fifth and sixth weeks was Relay for Life (which was incredible!) and sixth week was USAC elections (meaning lots of flyers…

The “perks” of living in Los Angeles
This weekend my sorority celebrated Mother’s Day a little early by having our own “Mom’s Day,” where we invited all of our mothers to a trip to Warner Bros. studios with us where we took a VIP backlot tour. Warner Bros. studios is located in Burbank, CA which is only about a 20 minute drive…
Art Imitates Life
I know I’ve said this before (but I’m going to say it again anyways)…The Getty Museum is one of my all time favorite places in LA! No matter how many times I visit the Getty, it just keeps getting better. Every experience at the Getty is different, but it is always worth the bus ride…
A Bookworm’s Dream
At UCLA you will do a lot of reading. Whether you are an English Major or an Engineer taking your General Education Writing 2 Class, you can expect to read at UCLA. To some this may sound like a dream come true, to others this may be a nightmare! No matter your response, at UCLA…
