Here I am at the end of my Freshman year at UCLA. I am studying for finals, finishing up projects, and eating a ton of junk food. As this year closes, I reflect back on my experiences thus far. Sure I have done really awesome things and made totally amazing friends, but I think my…

Collective de-stressing at UCLA
At UCLA, there is a myriad of fun traditions that showcase our unity and Bruin spirit on the campus. One of my favorites is the Midnight Yell that takes place throughout every finals week, starting Sunday. This is the week at the end of each quarter during which students are feeling pressured and apprehensive about…
Let Your Voice Be Heard
Last week was busy and filled with exams, projects, and papers. All of this stress has made it nearly impossible for me to get out of my study cave and get onto campus. The only time I was outside was when I was walking to and from class. As I walked through the sunken gardens at…
Wednesday Night Bliss
This past Wednesday, instead of getting all dressed up and heading over to the bars or apartments for a night out, I had the most wonderful night in with some of my closest friends. Most people would think that living in a house with 53 other girls would be a nightmare of drama and makeup…

Two of them…

It was a reception for student leadership and contributions to the campus where Chancellor Block thanked all of us for our outstanding achievements and constant involvement. It was a great networking opportunity…
The Clothesline Project in Dickson Court
The Clothesline Project is a national project raising awareness against gender-based violence, particularly sexual violence against women. The chapter here at UCLA is a student-run organization, and this past week has hosted their annual three-day protest during which members hang t-shirts on with inscribed messages from survivors (or their significant others) of gender violence, the…
UCLA Alumni Day!
On May 21, 2011, me and my coworker/amazing friend Matt worked as part of Bruin Ambassadors UCLA Alumni Day on behalf of the Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools office. We were assigned to discuss UCLA majors and minors as well as freshman admission requirements with students who came with their Bruin family. It was…
Spring Sing!!!
For the last four months I have had the amazing opportunity to work alongside some of UCLA’s most talented and wonderful comedians, as a fellow member of the sketch comedy writing and performance group, Company. All of our hard work and long hours finally paid off on Friday when we got to perform in front…
