Fall means Retreat!
At UCLA, the best part of being in clubs is getting to know people and working together for a common cause. Being in a club or two also means retreats! It’s only week 5 and I have already been on a retreat this quarter. The first one was with the Academic Affairs Commission (part of…

UCLA Basketball, A necessity for any UCLA student.
One of the must-do experiences for any UCLA student is attending a men’s basketball game in historic Pauley Pavilion. This year Pauley Pavilion underwent an almost 2 year, 180$ million renovation without sacrificing the original structure, making it seem brand new and historic at the same time.

New Hobbies
One of my favorite things about UCLA is all of the random activities that go on- particularly on the grass by Janss steps. On sunny days this is quite a popular spot to go in between classes.

UCLA Camp
UCLA Athletics offers several clinics and summer camps throughout the year in fifteen sports for pre-collegiate athletes. They serve as potential recruiting opportunities, or just a fun activity for a young kid to try. This past weekend I coached and counseled at the gymnastics camp. Counseling at UCLA was a larger responsibility then my previous…
My Savior
My little sister, away studying for own finals in Santa Barbara, really had my back this weekend. She managed to acquire five large cases of Monster drinks which she courteously left in Los Angeles for me. We are talking cases of 36. No- I did not drink all of them. The real act of kindness…
