If you’re from Southern California, you’ve probably heard of or even played water polo. If not, you’re definitely missing out. Water polo is probably one of the easiest games to watch and appreciate – a very low barrier to entry, if you will, compared to football’s arcane regulations or the plodding pace of baseball. I…
Author: UCLA Undergraduate Admission
Here’s to brother Bruin, brother Bruin, brother Bruin
I know I have mentioned this one too many times, but it seems to be a topic of discussion that I can’t help but to gush about. BRUIN PRIDE! I have spent three full years here at UCLA and am about to be finishing up my fourth and final year in just a couple quarters….
Westwood Live!
On Thursday night I went to Westwood LIVE, which was essentially a giant block party that was filled with delicious food, fun art, and spectacular music (there were performances by previous winners of Spring Sing!). It started at 6, and I got there around 6:40. Usually, events at UCLA are ridiculously over-crowded and you need…
Greasy Spoons
At the risk of making myself look like a ridiculous glutton, here’s another post on food. I think there is a soft spot in every guy’s heart for “greasy spoons”. You know what I’m talking about, right? Every town has one – I bet there were a few within walking distance of your high school…
“Water Is Rising”: A peek into climate change
One of the best things about UCLA is UCLA Live!, hands down. It brings all sorts of performances to our very own Royce Hall auditorium, one of the premier concert halls in the nation. I have attended contemporary ballets, cultural programs, plays, and also performed onstage with the UCLA Choral Department for our quarterly galas….
Summer in Spain (and Morocco)
Half-way through the first full week of the quarter! I am starting my first science upper divisions, and not to brag or anything, but I got to look at human brains during lab today! But first, a little bit about me, since this is my first entry… My name is Gina and I am a…
Bruins at the LA County Fair
This past Saturday was UCLA day at the L.A. County Fair. Current UCLA students, staff and their families were able to attend the L.A. County Fair with free admission, and alumni were able to attend for $5 admission rather than the usual $13. If staying around UCLA during zero week weekend isn’t exciting enough for…
Third Street Promenade
Yesterday, I had the pleasure to go shopping at Third Street Promenade. I had such an amazing time bonding with my roommates and shopping for cute clothes! One of the things that I love about UCLA is that it’s so close to so many attractive places to get away and have fun. There’s museums, movie…
Baikus
It is my last day of summer, and instead of being out drinking Starbucks (what I should be doing), I am indoors packing all of my entire everything into trash bags. It is my fault. I waited and procrastinated until all my packing got squeezed into this one day. So, to de-stress I am…
Moving into Westwood Village North
This past weekend, I moved into Westwood Village North, where a cluster of apartments have been in the area for some time now, to serve UCLA students who typically move out of the dorms after their second or third undergraduate year. At UCLA, we don’t have to worry about moving off campus right away (some friends…
