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…
My new study spot
This quarter, my two south campus classes are both held in the heart of north campus, one in Dodd Hall and the other next door in Bunche. I have a two hour gap between them on Wednesday, and have discovered my new favorite study spot. With the beautiful spring weather, I like to study outside,…
A Solar Afternoon
I cannot believe that it is already the end of 8th week, spring quarter of my second year. It is hard to believe how quickly this quarter, and this year has flown by. I cannot wait for summer, but I also really do not want to leave UCLA and Southern California! I have had…
Delicious & Hilarious
Wednesday night was an excellent night for two reasons: it was delicious it was hilarious Wednesday was the night of the Hill’s annual themed dinner. Every year, Housing & Hospitality goes above and beyond to put on a beautiful themed dinner for the residents in the dorms. Last year, the theme was Hawaiian, which meant…
Portugal. The Man
Before I start let me just say that I usually do not like live music. It’s loud, it’s hard to understand, and it’s almost always stuff I don’t know the words to (the only songs I know by heart are Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Rhianna and Glamorous by Fergie). The other…
A Day in Pre-History
One of the best things about UCLA is the incredible faculty. Every member of our faculty is very accomplished and they are incredibly smart people. Of course, there are a few stars. I have the privilege of taking a geography class with Jared Diamond. Professor Diamond has written New York Times bestsellers including Guns Germs…
Spring Sing
Remember a little over a month ago when I wrote a post about camping out to buy Spring Sing tickets? Well after lots of waiting, Spring Sing finally came! The big night was last Friday and it was so much fun. We got there fifteen minutes ahead of time (yippee, reserved seating!) and all got…
