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,…

Getty Villa

This week I decided to take a short trip to Los Angeles, mostly to say goodbye to the campus and the people, before I leave to live in France for the year. I’ve already taken several walks around school (one of which was supposed to be long and meandering but ended up with me just…

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…

Summer break addition: research life

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…
