Three-day weekends at UCLA are very contradictory. On one hand, campus seems incredibly empty while several events still seem to be taking place! I had friends who took ski trips, beach trips and even retreats with their school clubs. I kept pretty busy with athletic events on Friday and Saturday, and open lab re-scheduled for…

Bruins in the Village
This past Thursday evening saw no less than hundreds of Bruins in Westwood at a great event titled “Bruins Night Out” hosted by CEC (Campus Events Commission) and General Representative 1 office. It was incredible to see the streets packed with students eagerly seeking the myriad of deals that night, including free Diddy Riese cookies, buy…
Geocaching on campus
I had finished my anthropology lecture on Thursday and was heading through Wilson Plaza when I ran into my friend George. He didn’t have class, and I had to wait two hours before my friend could meet me for lunch, so we decided to hang out (well, I kind of decided – I didn’t want…
On Football
Because of some family matters, I could not make the game this past Saturday. But being a good Bruin, I managed to catch it during dinner on one of the restaurant’s televisions – a stroke of extraordinary luck, given most fans probably don’t have the Versus channel. In any case, it was a great, spirit-rousing…
Inner-City Arts
This past week, I had the privilege to interview one of directors of the non-profit arts organization Inner-City Arts. It is located in the heart of Skid Row. To date, it has been one of the most overwhelming and amazing experiences I’ve had as a UCLA student. As part of my class assignment, my group…
Rainy days are coming soon
And I am so extremely excited about it. As great as wearing shorts and drinking iced tea is, I am a much bigger fan of waking up to overcast skies and sipping chai lattes while listening to the tap tap tapping of rainfall. Last year, the rains started earlier here in L.A. (sometime in October)….
Homecoming Weekend
For the first time since 2004, we had a homecoming carnival. On Friday night, the Intramural Field served as a fair ground with games, obstacle courses and dance performances. More importantly, lessons to learn a dance for the flash mob were held. It was great to have an event on campus to celebrate homecoming, in…
Princeton Ly – Playing Hooky
UCLA Football finally got a heartwarming, if still slightly sloppy, win over a beleaguered Cal team this past weekend, 31-14. This still does not change the general consensus by Bruin Nation that there must be swift and decisive change in our Athletics Department, but it was of course nice to get a firm win over…
Parent’s Weekend!
This weekend is Parent’s Weekend! The best weekend of the year! (Maybe not, but I love my parents, and this weekend is the first time I get to see them, ok?) My parents are getting here early Saturday morning which means I have to get up even earlier to get showered, dressed and clean up…
My Big Dilemma
After two years at UCLA, I pretty much bleed blue and gold. I’m personally involved in the athletics world and work for admissions, meaning it is okay for me to be crazy about UCLA all the time. For me it is a no brainer when getting dressed in the morning, wear a UCLA t-shirt! Last…
