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…
From LA to Indio
This past weekend me and a few friends from UCLA left Los Angeles and road tripped two hours inland to Indio, California for the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. Coachella is a three-day long festival with six stages of really talented live artists or DJ’s playing music at all times, a bunch of unique art…
Food Truck Feast
I think most Bruins can agree that food is a HUGE part of the college experience. Whether it’s eating in our top rated dining halls or going out in Westwood eating is something UCLA is all about. Tuesday night I had the chance to go to a food truck event in Santa Monica. Food trucks…
An Unusual Event to Kickoff Spring
One of the greatest things about UCLA is its proximity to the ocean. Turns out this is just as practical as it is fun! Another great thing about UCLA is that you are surrounded by people who have not yet lost their inner child. On Saturday, a group of us went into a park in…
Easter in the Bay!
Spring break has officially ended and classes have resumed. This is always such a bittersweet time. I’m sad that break is over, but spring quarter really is the best quarter. The sun is shining, fun events like Spring Sing occur, and I have no Friday classes! It was nice that Spring Break coincided with Easter…
Finals don’t have to be stressful!
Finals week is now underway and already UCLA students across campus have settled into “Finals Mode”. Finals mode includes an increase in studying, a decrease in sleep, excess coffee, and a more frequent use of libraries. In the midst of finals week craziness, it is important to take a moment to breathe and find our…
Success in Travel
I have arrived at the mature and knowledgeable traveler stage in my life. I can’t say I hope it lasts for a while, because once I return to the United States I believe the extent of my traveling will be to and from the next town. Still, all of my international voyaging has been doing me good….
