First battle field: Accomplished

Hey there fellow Bruins, my apologies that I couldn’t write a blog over the weekend. I was preparing for my first battlefield for this quarter. For those current Bruins, we all know that week 4 is the week where everyone is waiting for, not really. But anyway, I just did my first midterm for this…

Spring Quarter Classes

At UCLA, we have the first two weeks of the quarter to change class times, sections or perhaps classes in general. Now that we are well into third week, schedules are finalized. This quarter I am taking four classes. 1)      Phy Sci: Continuation of the core series for my major. This is the last class…

Bruin Day and Engineering Open House Weekend

This last weekend was such an exciting and tiring weekend in the same time!! On Saturday, we had Bruin Day where we expecting 15,000 people coming to UCLA!!! That’s an insane number of people, but it was so much fun!!! I get to meet a lot of the future Bruins along with their parents. They…

A Look into a Public Policy Research Seminar

For this quarter, I am taking a Public Policy Research Seminar that fulfills my Capstone requirement for the Public Affairs minor I am completing. I couldn’t be any more excited to learn about different proposed bills currently in the Judicial system. In this class, we will dive into the process of simulating the role of…

Countin’ Down

While it seems like most of my peers were catching up on sleep or laying on a beach, I spent my break either at gymnastics practice or preparing for the MCAT. I cannot wait to be finished studying for this test. I have honestly spent at least two hundred hours preparing for this exam. I…

The Start of Spring Quarter

Every time I start a new quarter it amazes me how fast time flies. Seriously, the quarter system is no joke. 10 weeks from now I will be wondering where the quarter went. To prepare efficiently for a quarter you have to manage your time effectively every day. Not a single day goes by during…

Princeton Ly – At Long Last

It’s strange to think that my time at UCLA as an undergraduate will end in just ten short weeks. As I have said before, it’s been an amazingly fun run. Here’s to one more great quarter! To start out, this is what I am up to in Spring 2012: Classes: The details are still being…

Let the final battle begin!!!

Most students were doing one this weekend: studying. When I visited school to study on Saturday, the campus was so empty and quiet.  This is probably because some students had begun to take their finals since last Saturday. One thing that I’m looking forward to is that my last final will be on Thursday, which…

The week where my sanity is being tested!

This coming week is week 10 and as my professor ever said, this is the “holy cow” moment; and I have to say, I couldn’t agree more than that. All this time has been building up to this week-the last fighting week before finals. Last week during week 9, I started seeing students sitting at…
