Jazz Reggae Festival held at UCLA is a great way to spend the Memorial Day weekend. The two-day event highlights all-day performance of various artists, wide variety of delicious ethnic foods, and just a chill crowd of people to share the experience with. This student-run event began in 1986 as a relatively small concert…

Back to L.A.
By the time that you read this, I will be back in Los Angeles. It is the night before I make a sort-of-a-surprise trip down to L.A. to see my friends and see my campus who I haven’t seen for a very long time. And it’s more or less overwhelming. I spent much of my…
Apartment Life
The dorm experience was one of my favorite parts of freshman year, but eventually bruins feel the need to spread their wings and venture into the intimidating world of apartments. UCLA freshman are guaranteed three years of on campus housing, but many chose to move after their second or third year to apartments off campus….
A nice break from busy
Fifth and sixth weeks are by far the busiest of the quarter! Over the past two weeks I have written 14 pages worth of English papers, taken 3 midterms, and read 5 novels! Between fifth and sixth weeks was Relay for Life (which was incredible!) and sixth week was USAC elections (meaning lots of flyers…
Election Season at UCLA
I normally don’t associate UCLA with politics, but for one week during Spring quarter its all about elections. Every year in spring there are elections held for student government positions in USAC (Undergraduate Student Association Council). The positions range from traditional labels such as President, to more specific departments such as Academic Affairs Commissioner. Similar…

Art Imitates Life
I know I’ve said this before (but I’m going to say it again anyways)…The Getty Museum is one of my all time favorite places in LA! No matter how many times I visit the Getty, it just keeps getting better. Every experience at the Getty is different, but it is always worth the bus ride…
Decisions Decisions…
Seeing groups of college tourists on campus through the last few weeks(Bruin Day!), I was reminded of the days I had to make the choice on which college I will attend. Being a haste decision-maker, I especially had a hard time making what then seemed like the most important decision of my life. I still…
