This past year I was involved in an on-campus group called the Hammer Student Association. For me, the experience was a tad different than most HSAers. Applications to be on a committee go out fall quarter, and the club is supposed to a be a year-long committment, but I joined winter quarter. I heard about…

Up Up and Awayyy
This past weekend my dear friend Bobbie had a couple of visitors from England staying with her. She had studied abroad with them in Manchester and they were taking advantage of their Gap Year to explore the west coast from San Diego up to Seattle. Fortunately for them, their stop in LA was guaranteed…
Bringing UCLA to Future Bruins
Today I was fortunate enough to do a presentation with my supervisor for high school students on the UC Personal Statement. As a Bruin Ambassador, I’m responsible for talking to prospective students and future Bruins about UCLA, applying to UCLA, and what it’s like to be a student at the best school in the world….
Missing the Bruins
This week I resumed my old job of working in a law office for a family law attorney. I did this job for almost 4 years before leaving for UCLA and I was able to come back in the summer to do more work. The attorney I work for is a Bruin Alumni, both Undergrad…
Missing the Perks
Traveling and being home is a lot of fun for me. I adore visiting tourist attractions, relaxing, and spending time with family, but I miss the perks UCLA has to offer. When I am in Westwood I spend a lot of my time at the John Wooden Center, which is our on campus gym. All…
Welcome, Summer!!
It was a memorable week at UCLA. Finals week was filled with many people studying late into the night; luckily, I was not one of these people. I was able to finish early and spent Finals week relaxing and slowly moving out of my dorm. It’s hard to imagine that it was only a mere…
Sunny, Beautiful LA
Memorial Day weekend has come and gone. It ended on a beautiful day with beautiful weather. One of the best things I love about LA is the weather. Lately, it’s been nice and sunny. I returned today to UCLA after a 3-day stay at home. I have to admit that I missed UCLA a bit….
Thank you, UCLA!
One of the highlights of “I ♥ UCLA” Week was “Thank you, UCLA” day. It was a way for students to give back to the place that has given us so much joy, opportunity, success, and necessary stress. On Wednesday, there were tables and activities set up for students to enjoy. I was able to donate…
I ♥ UCLA Week
It has been a wonderful week of Bruin spirit and pride! “I ♥ UCLA” Week is a once-a-year opportunity for students to show their UCLA pride and get freebies and giveaways at the same time for doing so. This year, there have been a series of events promoting Bruin spirit, including a Car Smash in Wilson…
Committee Bonding
On Saturday night, my committee directors scheduled committee bonding time. The other coordinators and I expected a visit to our director Steve’s house (he had been bragging about his mom’s lasagna). Instead, we found ourselves waiting in line next to drag queens and fishnetted legs. Huddled in the alley, we listened to a corset-wearing woman…
