It’s a new quarter, and what better time to set some goals in addition to those New Year’s Resolutions? After a wonderfully restful two and a half weeks spent in Vancouver with family, it’s time to get back in the groove of things. I’m particularly excited about a few things coming up this quarter, including…

A Cold Snap
They say that stereotypes were meant to be broken….that may be true. However, it may also be true that the stereotype of Southern Californians are not capable of handling cold weather. The high of the past week has not been above 60. I may be from Northern California, but I have definitely gone soft since…
New Hobbies
One of my favorite things about UCLA is all of the random activities that go on- particularly on the grass by Janss steps. On sunny days this is quite a popular spot to go in between classes. You will see people “hammock”ing, other days it will be people playing the ukulele, but you can almost always…
Beat ‘SC Bonfire & Rally 2012
What an incredible and spirited week it has been at UCLA! In the final countdown before the big game with our crosstown rival, we prepared ourselves and made sure our entire campus community was feeling the spirit and enthusiasm it takes to give our team extra reassurance and strength to head over to the Rose…
2012 Presidential Elections at UCLA
What a night! The long-anticipated Election Day has come and gone, and the campus is left buzzing (along with the rest of the nation) through our Facebook status updates and Tweets, offering each Bruin’s own two cents on the race for the presidency. Landfair Avenue, typically frequented by residents whose apartments line the hilly street,…
Pauley Pavilion Opening Madness
Pauley is back! Pauley Pavilion, our indoor stadium that had been under construction since March 2011, has finally reopened for this year’s basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics season. Thousands of students and parents gathered in the newly renovated stadium to take part in the free Pauley Pavilion Opening Madness Event held last Friday evening. The…
Drain the red
This Wednesday, the battle between the floors in Hedrick Hall opens for which floor donates the most blood. The first 65 donors get free t-shirts, and everyone gets a movie ticket and some food for regeneration. The floor that gets the most blood donated gets a $200 prize. I’ve been waiting for this moment!!…
First Week
Can you all believe that we just finished first week?! Even though I’ve gone through Fall quarter already, I have to say the busyness with classes, assignments, work, and (now) research still has me in shock. So last week, I realized how important Google Calendar is for me. It is SUPER important. I started panicking…
True Bruin Welcome Week
Before moving to UCLA, I didn’t really see the point of having a “zero week,” when students can take the time before starting classes to settle in and meet other people. But after having gone through the zero week, I now see its necessity and advantages. From the moment I moved into the dorms to the…
Moving in
You know you’re in LA when you feel the surge of warm heat right when you open the car door. I finally arrived at UCLA last Saturday for move-in. It took nearly 6 hours from my hometown, Monterey, to get to Los Angeles by car. Before going to the campus my family stopped by Koreatown,…
