Hi there, so as I told you before that I am starting to do research this summer at one of the professors in the Bio-Engineering department. I want to tell you a little bit about how it going so far. As a new researcher, I usually shadow the grad student that I will be working…

Chancellor’s Residence
So, it is officially summer for me, but I don’t think I’ve quite gotten used to it yet. Being away from UCLA is hard – there’s just too much fun stuff to do there! (for example:) Right before I left school, I was lucky enough to go to an event at the chancellor’s residence. There…
My Savior
My little sister, away studying for own finals in Santa Barbara, really had my back this weekend. She managed to acquire five large cases of Monster drinks which she courteously left in Los Angeles for me. We are talking cases of 36. No- I did not drink all of them. The real act of kindness…
The season of goodbyes
Spring quarter is always the most difficult for me to finish because it marks the end of a school year and the culmination of their UCLA experience for an entire class of seniors. In a week, I will be losing a handful of my favorite people at UCLA, and they will head off into the…
The Career Center
Last week, I finally made my first trip to UCLA’s Career Center. I have been hearing about the Career Center even before I started my freshman year. During orientation I went to a presentation about the center and the various services they offer to students. Info on the center didn’t stop then – I continued…
Prepping for an annual spring concert
Since the fall of 2010, I have dedicated myself to a wonderful community service group on campus called YOUTHphonics A Cappella. Despite being an interdigitation of students with majors from all over campus, varying interests, and different musical preferences, one thing we have in common is our passion for singing and sharing music with local…
Picking a Paper Topic
As the end of the quarter is nearing, it is time to get working on those final papers. Some students dread them; I personally love them because they are usually in lieu of the final. But, I always struggle with picking a topic! Professors will tend to give very vague and open instructions, like pick…
Princeton Ly – Hollywood on Campus
For whatever reason, college students really, really like their TV shows. People I know that never followed any shows in high school have ended up running through entire seasons of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ or ‘The Wire’ in weeks, if not days. I personally “caught up” with the whole Friends craze (just a decade…
My friend Ruth
Throughout the past two years, I have been able to know one of the most influential and fabulous people ever. She started out as my supervisor/boss but is now my full fledged friend. Her name is Ruth. She does an amazing job at supervising the Bruin Ambassador Program; the program wouldn’t be where it is…
A field trip to the Botanical Garden
I don’t think there was ever a time in my life when I didn’t love field trips. Whether they were informative and educational or purely excursionary in nature, I always enjoyed taking a day off from the classroom setting and stepping out into the real world. On Wednesday, I did just that with my Forest…
