Last Winter Quarter for Undergrad

2012 brings in my last two quarters here at UCLA– Winter and Spring Quarter. The three classes that I am taking this quarter are Introduction to Social Welfare, Sociology of Education and Statistical and Computer Methods for Social Research. I am definitely looking forward to a busy, challenging and rewarding quarter. Last quarter was one…

Back to the Beginning

  Hello all! It’s the beginning of the quarter again and Week 1 is in full swing. I want to start by saying I hope everyone had a great break. It was much needed and greatly appreciated, but now its time to get back to work. Over the next week, I’ll be focusing on my…

New Year Resolutions

Happy New Year!  It seems not so long ago when we just accustomed ourselves to typing “2011” on our papers and writing it next to our signatures, but before long, 365 days had passed and it’s time to get used to the next number up.  And as always, a new year calls for a new…

Fa la la la la Fall Quarter is over!

Winter quarter is right around the corner, which means that I survived my first quarter at UCLA. Congratulate me because it was a little rocky. New place. New job. New people. I’m definitely looking forward to next quarter. This time I’ll know what’s going on most of the time. The only thing I’m looking forward…

Snowflakes!

It is officially the holiday season. In my opinion, this is the happiest time of the year. The scarves, the hot chocolate, the music (I mean have you heard JBieb’s Christmas Eve?)! But my favorite part of the winter time is not the sparkly decorations or the yule logs or the scented candles (though scented…

Radiate Your Love

This year, I have been so thankful and blessed to have so many amazing things happen to me. I am so grateful for everything I have experienced. In recent weeks, a lot of my friends have approached me and commented on how much positivity I radiate on my official Facebook page. Well, to them I…

Thanksgiving Break

  After making it through lab until five on Wednesday, I ventured ten miles across town to my mother’s house. This was my first year not driving to Northern California, so the significantly shorter drive was fantastic. Of course, being in Los Angeles, I decided to go on a flash card making binge after lab…

Special Guest: Bill Nye

If you told my young, elementary-school self back in the day when I watched his show religiously that Bill Nye the Science Guy would one day come to my college and give a talk hosted by CEC which I’d be fortunate enough to attend, and at which I would have had the opportunity to shake…

My Visit to the Lovely Ashe Center

Once upon a time, I woke up to the worst sore throat I’ve ever had. It was extremely painful and on top of that I had a discussion and a lecture to attend. Eeeek. In high school, one could easily just tell mom and dad that you weren’t feeling too well so they could call…

Musical theatre in Schoenberg Music Building: “Spring Awakening”

This past weekend saw the opening and closing of Hooligan Theatre Company‘s fall musical, “Spring Awakening”!  Starting on Friday evening at 8pm, the company brought on its rendition of the award-winning musical in our very own Schoenberg Auditorium, and henceforth had three more shows throughout the weekend, ending on Sunday afternoon’s matinee showing.  Although tickets…
