It seems like there are never a shortage of UCLA-specific distractions that pop up during our most busy times as students at UCLA. A few quarters ago, there was this huge “Asians in the Library” fiasco that had everyone talking – during finals week, no less. (But don’t worry, for those of you who…

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…
Holi 2012
This past weekend, I went with a group of friends to an Indian event, Holi, with traditional roots celebrating the festival of harvest, held right on campus at our Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. Long before the event started, a long twisting line of students waited to enter the upper field where all the colored…
Construction
I think regardless of what college campus you are on, some type of construction is happening. Chances are, the tour guide has some joke with the acronym of the university and construction. UCLA- Under Construction Like Always. Currently, we have some really amazing projects going on. I hadn’t been up on the hill in awhile…
Princeton Ly – Home
One of the most common criticisms of UCLA is its size. And it is true, we are a large public university, with over 38,000-odd students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. But, as I have alluded to and written about many times before, size comes with innumerable opportunities to take hold of. Today though,…
Dorm Dinner
In what is becoming a quarterly tradition, Bruin Ambassadors had their final meet of the quarter in De Neve Dining Hall. (Side note: Bruin Ambassadors is the undergraduate admissions program I work for). For those of us who no longer live on the hill, the younger ambassadors pull together enough swipes to feed all of…
Saffron Rose
Last Friday, I went for a walk with my friend Renn into Westwood to grab some ice cream. I had been to Yogurtland before, and of course I had been to Diddy Riese, so we decided to try something new. My other friend had told me about a Persian ice cream shop a couple of…
Princeton Ly – Positive Randomness
My apologies for the brief hiatus in posts, I have been supremely busy this past week dealing with interviews and such. But I’m back! This week I want to talk about something called “Positive Randomness”. I ran across this idea in a post at a blog called Study Hacks. Essentially, what the author and the…
Week 8 here we go!!
I can’t believe I’m already at week 8 of winter quarter!! Before I know it, finals week will be here, which will mark the end of my second quarter as a Bruin!! This winter quarter is my first quarter taking an upper division BioEngineering class. I can’t lie, I did freak out a little bit….
Dance Marathon!
This past weekend was Dance Marathon! Wooooo! It was so fun, so grand, so tiring! Let me break it down. DM is a 26-hour dance party that is hosted by the Pediatric AIDS Coalition at UCLA. I am part of that coalition (PAC for short), and besides DM we put on a bunch of super…
