What happens when 800 Degrees meets the Hammer Museum…

  Last weekend was the best weekend I’ve had so far this winter quarter!! As I finished the second midterms for all my classes, I was finally able to relax and enjoy my weekend without worrying about another round of midterms coming!! 🙂 I got a chance to visit the Hammer Museum, which is right…

Touring with UCLA Chorale, part II

I mentioned in an earlier post that I would be traveling with the UCLA Chorale this past weekend to Arizona for a joint performance of the Verdi Requiem.  And what an incredible weekend it was! Even before our scheduled departure time at 1pm on Friday, members were congregating outside the choir room in Schoenberg at…

Farmer’s Market

Last weekend I went to a farmers market in Hollywood. Los Angeles has tons of farmers markets. I think you could find one to attend almost any day of the week. Even Westwood has one on Thursdays. This particular one is nestled a few blocks from the infamous star walk. There is one street that…

Saffron Rose

Last Friday, I went for a walk with my friend Renn into Westwood to grab some ice cream. I had been to Yogurtland before, and of course I had been to Diddy Riese, so we decided to try something new. My other friend had told me about a Persian ice cream shop a couple of…

Princeton Ly – Positive Randomness

My apologies for the brief hiatus in posts, I have been supremely busy this past week dealing with interviews and such. But I’m back! This week I want to talk about something called “Positive Randomness”. I ran across this idea in a post at a blog called Study Hacks. Essentially, what the author and the…

Touring with the UCLA Chorale

The UCLA Chorale is scheduled to tour to Phoenix, Arizona for a performance this Sunday at the Arizona Musicfest, and I am so excited to be one of the “artists in residence” this weekend!  To be able to tour with my collegiate choir to perform has been an item on my UCLA bucket list —…

Dance Marathon!

This past weekend was Dance Marathon! Wooooo! It was so fun, so grand, so tiring! Let me break it down. DM is a 26-hour dance party that is hosted by the Pediatric AIDS Coalition at UCLA. I am part of that coalition (PAC for short), and besides DM we put on a bunch of super…

Old Pasadena

Last weekend I ventured out to Pasadena. Old Pasadena has a nice vibe with lots of families and college kids abound. Old Pasadena is a complex location for Bruins. It is fairly close to the Rose Bowl, where we play our home football games. But, it is also a popular spot to live for students…

The Lovely South Campus

A lot of students I come across often talk about how completely gorgeous North Campus is and how drab and industrial South Campus is. I am here to put an end to this misconception. South Campus is just as beautiful (if even more so!) than collegiate North Campus. Ok, first lemme give you the reasons…
