In LA we may not get extreme weather, but we do experience a natural phenomenon known as “June Gloom”. For those of you unfamiliar with this term, June Gloom refers to the spring/summer cloud cover that happens most mornings in June. This may not sound all that extreme, but the weather in the mornings looks…

Hikes and Hobbies
One hobby that I never thought I would discover and develop while in LA is hiking. When most people think of LA they imagine the beach, downtown, Hollywood, and other LA landmarks. While all of these iconic places are part of what makes LA so unique, we also are blessed to be surrounded by several…
The “perks” of living in Los Angeles
This weekend my sorority celebrated Mother’s Day a little early by having our own “Mom’s Day,” where we invited all of our mothers to a trip to Warner Bros. studios with us where we took a VIP backlot tour. Warner Bros. studios is located in Burbank, CA which is only about a 20 minute drive…
Art Imitates Life
I know I’ve said this before (but I’m going to say it again anyways)…The Getty Museum is one of my all time favorite places in LA! No matter how many times I visit the Getty, it just keeps getting better. Every experience at the Getty is different, but it is always worth the bus ride…
A Bookworm’s Dream
At UCLA you will do a lot of reading. Whether you are an English Major or an Engineer taking your General Education Writing 2 Class, you can expect to read at UCLA. To some this may sound like a dream come true, to others this may be a nightmare! No matter your response, at UCLA…
Food Truck Feast
I think most Bruins can agree that food is a HUGE part of the college experience. Whether it’s eating in our top rated dining halls or going out in Westwood eating is something UCLA is all about. Tuesday night I had the chance to go to a food truck event in Santa Monica. Food trucks…
Eatery on Lindbrook
I finally got to go out to Westwood last weekend after finishing all of my midterms. It was an exciting day for me, not only because I had finished my exams, but also because I got to meet one of my brother’s friends from Hawaii. Until last weekend, I had only contacted him through email…
First Time in Korea Town
One of the most unique things about UCLA is the fact that it is located in the diverse city of Los Angeles. It is the responsibility of every UCLA student to go and experience the incredible diversity and unique experiences that the city can offer. This often means that you have to go outside of…
The Three Historic B’s
When giving tours or talking to prospective students, we like to talk about how safe our campus is (because it really, really is). One of the phrases we like to use is “UCLA is surrounded by the 3 Historic B’s: Bel Air, Beverly Hills, and Brentwood”. The more time I spend in LA, the more…
Weekend Outings at the Getty
With midterms just around the corner, I thought I would take advantage of this past weekend to do some off campus exploring and ended up at the Getty. The Getty is a beautiful museum right on the other side of the 405. By bus, you can get there in as little as 10 minutes! It…
