Contrary to popular belief, the beginning of the quarter isn’t exactly peaceful! For me, things tend to be hectic, but I know eventually it will all settle down and I will settle into my usual routine. Things to do: 1) Finalize class schedule. Hopefully everything has worked out like I hoped, but sometimes once syllabi…

New Year Resolutions
Happy New Year! It seems not so long ago when we just accustomed ourselves to typing “2011” on our papers and writing it next to our signatures, but before long, 365 days had passed and it’s time to get used to the next number up. And as always, a new year calls for a new…
Princeton Ly – New Beginnings
Happy New Year, dear reader. I hope you had a refreshing break (if you were indeed lucky enough to have one at all!) full of family and friends. One of the benefits of being in college is that the quarter ends before Christmas vacation, meaning that there is not much bothering you once school lets…
Fa la la la la Fall Quarter is over!
Winter quarter is right around the corner, which means that I survived my first quarter at UCLA. Congratulate me because it was a little rocky. New place. New job. New people. I’m definitely looking forward to next quarter. This time I’ll know what’s going on most of the time. The only thing I’m looking forward…
Working Off Finals Stress
This is my favorite time of the quarter for working out. Unlike most of my fellow bruins who hunker down and study only, I still enjoy a nice workout at the end of the quarter. Plus, we are coming off Thanksgiving and going into Christmas! I view working out as a “vacation” away from studying….

Schedule Planning
Decisions. Decisions. As soon as the schedule for winter quarter classes comes out, deciding what to take and when to take a class becomes a seemingly cumbersome process. I thought, this shouldn’t take me long, I’m a third year now, shouldn’t I have limited options of what classes to take? Wrong. In fact, even now…
Thanksgiving Break
After making it through lab until five on Wednesday, I ventured ten miles across town to my mother’s house. This was my first year not driving to Northern California, so the significantly shorter drive was fantastic. Of course, being in Los Angeles, I decided to go on a flash card making binge after lab…
Things I do before Finals…
Well this is week 10 which means finals are next week! So what are the things I do to prepare for finals? So much is going on…but I couldn’t be more excited. As a college student, you have multiple things going on at the same time. If it isn’t something it’s another thing. I have…
Princeton Ly – Study Time
It’s hard to believe that the quarter is almost over. They’re already playing Christmas music on the radio! In any case, for us college students, the approaching holidays mean that we must overcome one last major obstacle between now and complete freedom: finals. One of the hardest things to do in studying for finals…
