Volunteer Hunting for the Fall

With the speedily approaching school year, I started looking around for some volunteering opportunities that I may be able to take interest in during the fall quarter. While browsing through the school website, I came across a page introducing various volunteering openings offered at Ronald Reagan Medical Center. So why not volunteer there? After all,…

First Year, Transfer, and Continuing Students

Can you guys believe that there is less than 1 month before school starts again and we’ll kick off Fall quarter???? This summer  has been going super fast!! Soon enough, we will meet a lot of new Bruins joining our big family whether they are first year or transfer students. It is always an exciting…

UCLA Symphony

After a long day in class, walk down to Schoenberg Hall to listen to some relaxing classical music to cool your minds. The UCLA Symphony holds concerts every quarter and performs quality music that you will fall in love with instantly. Holding rehearsals only once per week for about two and a half hours, the symphony requires full dedication…

Freshman Orientation

Looking back, the last few days went by in a blink of an eye. But it sure did not feel that way when I was in the midst of it. The hours of campus-touring, the scorching heat, and the endless nights socializing with friends made the freshman orientation draining and fun at the same time….

(More) Los Angeles Visit

I recently returned from a five-day farewell UCLA trip. I mentioned in my last post that I went to the Getty Villa, but I got to do so much more fun stuff after that! This included more museums; one really isn’t enough. I’ve already been to both LACMA and the Getty, but I’m always in the…

Fresh Start

Hey! My name is Hayoung Youn. So I’m the new girl in town since I will be entering UCLA this fall as a freshman. Right now, I have a month and a half before starting my new life at an entirely different environment, and I have to say, I am pretty stoked. But then again,…

21!

Tuesday was a very special occasion- I turned 21! Now I can check into all the hotel rooms I want without worrying about check-in age. The day started off great with the United States winning two medals in my favorite sport. Later on, I had a great home cooked meal with some close friends. It…

Dorm food (the best food)

You guys. UCLA’s dorm food is the best. Like really, it’s really delicious. And I will never be living in a dorm again, UCLA or otherwise, but since I have quit Hill-life, I’ve learned (like really learned) that dorm food is something to be cherished. Dining halls get a lot of props – they are…

Rushing through the end of summer session!!

  Yes people, it’s that time again when you’re about to run out of time to finish up all your projects at school. Well at least for me it is that time again,haha.. I only have 3 weeks left for my summer session class, yay!!! Super excited, but that also means that less time to…

Trust walks on campus

It’s been over a month now since I left UCLA, and I can say without a doubt that the thing I miss most is the beautiful campus. I’ve been trying hard to be awed by the places I’ve been this summer, but even the streets of San Francisco do not affect me in the same way…
