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…

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…
The Lovely South Campus
A lot of students I come across often talk about how completely gorgeous North Campus is and how drab and industrial South Campus is. I am here to put an end to this misconception. South Campus is just as beautiful (if even more so!) than collegiate North Campus. Ok, first lemme give you the reasons…
Rain and Sunshine
The crazy part about living in LA is the crazy weather patterns that come with it. I love how it is so sunny and warm one day, but a couple of days we get a little rain here and there. Today was a good example of that- it finally rained! Don’t get me wrong though,…

A great example of this is when events that you are used to happening and experiencing…
Lazy afternoons in Westwood

Today is one of few rare Friday afternoons that are free of meetings and mandatory obligations so I have time to sit back and relax (which actually means “study”) or take a lazy stroll around Westwood to see…

On Thursday, I attended a talk given by Julie A. Greenberg that was put on by the Williams Institute. The Williams Institute, which is part of the UCLA Law School and works to advance sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy, puts on talks like the one I attended about a variety…
Princeton Ly – UCLA Trivia
Did you know that the most successful Division I coach in NCAA history is UCLA’s Al Scates, with a record 19 NCAA men’s volleyball titles? Scates is believed to be the only current NCAA coach to have won titles in five decades, starting in the 1960’s! Did you know that Campbell Hall was originally built…
80 in January? Only in LA!
What an unusually warm day in January! According to the weather report, it was past 80ºF (27ºC) in the middle of the day, and even late at night it is a pleasant 60ºF (14ºC). Only in LA do you get the perk of being reminded of summer weather in the middle of the winter…
