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…

Magic Castle vs The Avengers!

The Avengers!!! Enough said, you already know what I want to say… It was so amazing!!! I’m not a big super hero fan, but for this movie I can say that I loved it!! It was worth my time and worth my money to watch it 🙂 But before that, let’s back up couple hours…

UCLA Luskin Lecture for Thought Leadership

Gina gave you the scoop on how having the former president come to campus shook things up, but how about an insider’s look! I was one of those lucky students she mentioned who got to go see Clinton speak (for free, woo woo!). Besides a bunch of extra security à la the secret service (which…

Bill Clinton

On my normal day walk back from class, I passed by a security notification restricting Royce Hall access tonight due to Bill Clinton’s speech. Yes, Bill Clinton, former president of the United States. It’s certainly not an everyday occasion that a man of this stature speaks at our University! He was the keynote speech for…

State Finals

This past weekend was State Finals! It’s a two-day event put on by the UCLA Alumni Association, and it is essentially a scholarship competition for incoming students who have received an alumni scholarship. Because I am a part of the Outreach Committee for the Alumni Scholars Club (which is the club with all the kids…

Meeting Josh Hutcherson

This past week, along with my roommate, I got to meet Peeta from Hunger Games- Josh Hutcherson. Josh was here on behalf of Ally Week representing the anti-bullying campaign Straight But Not Narrow. It was wonderful being able to meet such an inspirational and rising young artist such as Josh. I was so star struck!…

College Nights!

It’s that time. It’s spring quarter. It’s college night time. Every year, both the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Getty Center throw huge-o parties, creatively titled “College Night”s because they are for college students and happen in the evening time. College nights are so so fun. There’s art, there’s fellow college students,…

Spring Quarter Classes

At UCLA, we have the first two weeks of the quarter to change class times, sections or perhaps classes in general. Now that we are well into third week, schedules are finalized. This quarter I am taking four classes. 1)      Phy Sci: Continuation of the core series for my major. This is the last class…

Somethings bruin out-of-state!

Some of the other bloggers have already written about Bruin Day, but I can offer a unique experience as an out of state student. When I was deciding whether or not to attend UCLA there was no Bruin Day. I really wish there had been, because Bruin Day is an amazing day. I could not…
