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…

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…
A Guide to the Eight Clap
There is one thing that all bruins, aspiring bruins, and bruin lovers must know and that one thing is the famous Eight Clap. It’s serious business. To begin, I am not very coordinated and even though I have a great memory, the Eight clap is somewhat difficult for me so I’m putting together this guide…
UCLA Goes to London (Week 2)
Second week in London! This week began with a trip to Camden, a town known for its thrift shops and food. It was like going to a giant outdoor market; vendors everywhere trying to sell you so much stuff. A group of us spent a few hours there and my friend Evan and I broke…
