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…
Mentor Mixer with ASC (and the rest of my Thursday night)
Thursday night was a busy night for me (as Thursday nights tend to be). I got out of class at four and then had to head back to my room for an hour to gather my things, have a Reese’s, and surf the interwebs. I walked down to Broxton for the second Westwood Live…
Geocaching on campus
I had finished my anthropology lecture on Thursday and was heading through Wilson Plaza when I ran into my friend George. He didn’t have class, and I had to wait two hours before my friend could meet me for lunch, so we decided to hang out (well, I kind of decided – I didn’t want…
Rainy days are coming soon
And I am so extremely excited about it. As great as wearing shorts and drinking iced tea is, I am a much bigger fan of waking up to overcast skies and sipping chai lattes while listening to the tap tap tapping of rainfall. Last year, the rains started earlier here in L.A. (sometime in October)….
Parent’s Weekend!
This weekend is Parent’s Weekend! The best weekend of the year! (Maybe not, but I love my parents, and this weekend is the first time I get to see them, ok?) My parents are getting here early Saturday morning which means I have to get up even earlier to get showered, dressed and clean up…
Gloria Steinem, y’all
Ok, before I tell you about hearing the ~fab~ Gloria Steinem speak, I will give you some background about my situation both in general and immediately prior to the event. First off, I was recently accepted as a Daily Bruin intern for the Opinion section – yay! right? Well, mostly right. Unfortunately, as a member of…
Princeton Ly – Big Time
One of the not-so-secret things you need to know about UCLA is that it is huge. Over 25,000 undergraduates and maybe half as many graduate students, a pretty good balance, in my opinion. (Often lost in the shuffle is the fact that there is about one paid administrative staffer per undergraduate student – ludicrous!) Of…
A Rainy Day at UCLA
During my hour break between classes on Tuesday, I decided to study outside on the lawn by Janss Steps. I enjoyed the sunshine while going over my neuroanatomical flashcards (and maybe napped a little too). As always, I appreciated how much I love going to school under the wonderful Southern California sunshine! However, on Wednesday,…
