In addition to livening up Westwood every third Thursday of the month, Westwood LIVE was in Bruin Plaza yesterday making sure as many Bruins as possible know about this wonderful USAC initiative to bring more Bruins into Westwood, our lovely little college town immediately south of the UCLA campus.

Hausu!
Last Friday, I went with my friend Mariam to a screening of House, or Hausu in Japanese, that was put on by the Campus Events Commission. Before I get into the details, just let me tell you that this screening was probably definitely the most entertaining free CEC event that I have been to….
Tis The Season
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No- I am not crazy. I realize Christmas was a month ago. I am talking about gymnastics season! Every weekend I look forward to cheering on our team to victory. For those of you who don’t know, UCLA Gymnastics is one of the premier teams in the…

2012 brings in my last two quarters here at UCLA– Winter and Spring Quarter. The three classes that I am taking this quarter are Introduction to Social Welfare, Sociology of Education and Statistical and Computer Methods for Social Research.

I’m definitely looking forward to next quarter. This time I’ll know what’s going on most of the time. The only thing I’m looking forward…
Snowflakes!
It is officially the holiday season. In my opinion, this is the happiest time of the year. The scarves, the hot chocolate, the music (I mean have you heard JBieb’s Christmas Eve?)!

Christmas Spirit
Southern California often gets blasted because our winters are so mild – no White Christmases, these. But I think even in Los Angeles there is a sense of holiday spirit when December rolls around and the temperatures dip. One of my favorite places to be around this time is in the greater Pasadena area. Home…

It may seem daunting to get out of Westwood to LAX on Thanksgiving and the holiday break when everyone seems to be leaving at the same time, and throughout my time here I’ve accrued some favorite routes I like to take to get to the airport. If you are an international or out-of-state student, or…
