One of UCLA’s many hidden gems in terms of extracurricular programming is its Bruin Leaders Project. From its website: The Bruin Leaders Project is a seminar-based, leadership development program designed to provide effective leadership training with emphasis on personal growth and community involvement. Open to all UCLA students (undergraduates & graduates), BLP offers interactive seminars…

Princeton Ly – At Long Last
It’s strange to think that my time at UCLA as an undergraduate will end in just ten short weeks. As I have said before, it’s been an amazingly fun run. Here’s to one more great quarter! To start out, this is what I am up to in Spring 2012: Classes: The details are still being…
Princeton Ly – UCLA Memes
It seems like there are never a shortage of UCLA-specific distractions that pop up during our most busy times as students at UCLA. A few quarters ago, there was this huge “Asians in the Library” fiasco that had everyone talking – during finals week, no less. (But don’t worry, for those of you who…
Let the final battle begin!!!
Most students were doing one this weekend: studying. When I visited school to study on Saturday, the campus was so empty and quiet. This is probably because some students had begun to take their finals since last Saturday. One thing that I’m looking forward to is that my last final will be on Thursday, which…
Holi 2012
This past weekend, I went with a group of friends to an Indian event, Holi, with traditional roots celebrating the festival of harvest, held right on campus at our Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. Long before the event started, a long twisting line of students waited to enter the upper field where all the colored…
Construction
I think regardless of what college campus you are on, some type of construction is happening. Chances are, the tour guide has some joke with the acronym of the university and construction. UCLA- Under Construction Like Always. Currently, we have some really amazing projects going on. I hadn’t been up on the hill in awhile…
Princeton Ly – Home
One of the most common criticisms of UCLA is its size. And it is true, we are a large public university, with over 38,000-odd students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. But, as I have alluded to and written about many times before, size comes with innumerable opportunities to take hold of. Today though,…
Hollywood 10K
Recently, I have been preparing for a 10k mile run I am doing with two of my very good UCLA buddies! It’s going to be happening in Hollywood which only makes it a little bit better :). The event is placed in efforts to benefit the Los Angeles Youth Network and LAUSD Beyond The Bell Program….
Disneyland
They say Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, but what they don’t tell you is that this is completely and totally true. I went to both D-Land and California Adventure this past weekend, and my day there was pretty close to perfect. I went with a sizable group from UCLA – there were about 30 of…
Dorm Dinner
In what is becoming a quarterly tradition, Bruin Ambassadors had their final meet of the quarter in De Neve Dining Hall. (Side note: Bruin Ambassadors is the undergraduate admissions program I work for). For those of us who no longer live on the hill, the younger ambassadors pull together enough swipes to feed all of…
