On Friday, September 30th, I participated in UCLA’S LGBT Resource Fair and it was such an amazing experience. The UCLA LGBT Resource Center coordinated this fair in an effort to spread awareness about their center at UCLA, as well as other resources available on campus. Along with my other friends and co workers, we roamed…

Princeton Ly – Time to Eat
Los Angeles gets bagged on sometimes because it does not historically boast the haute cuisine that many cities back east have built up over centuries. This stigma has been somewhat ameliorated in recent years, as the city’s food “scene” has taken off and become more recognized in America and around the world for its innovation…
The most delicious thing in all of the dining halls:
Pork. Carnitas. Tacos. These things are really freaking good. I mean like, whoa. UCLA is known for having some super tasty dorm food, but in my opinion these tacos take the prize. Let me tell you why this dish comes out on top. UCLA’s dining hall food, in general, is pretty good. But, it is…
Bruins at the LA County Fair
This past Saturday was UCLA day at the L.A. County Fair. Current UCLA students, staff and their families were able to attend the L.A. County Fair with free admission, and alumni were able to attend for $5 admission rather than the usual $13. If staying around UCLA during zero week weekend isn’t exciting enough for…
The Best Place to Study
So to begin, many exciting things have been happening during my first two weeks at UCLA. Of course Zero week was a blast, but now first week is here, and it’s time to get serious. Studying for college courses can be very different, depending on how well you studied in high school. Professors don’t just…
Princeton Ly – UCLA Swag
Hello there! So I recently ran across a spate of UCLA-themed hip-hop references in the last week or so and thought I would share them with you all. The first is a tribute to the greatest UCLA basketball player of all time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, then Lewis Alcindor: Yes, that is the rapper Twista you see…
Enormous Activities Fair 2011
Monday was the annual Enormous Activities Fair, where hundreds of student-run organizations take advantage of zero week to reach out and recruit interested students for their clubs. The fair took place in Royce Quad and Wilson Plaza, in which thousands of students congregated to find out more about organizations they can get involved with. It…
Third Street Promenade
Yesterday, I had the pleasure to go shopping at Third Street Promenade. I had such an amazing time bonding with my roommates and shopping for cute clothes! One of the things that I love about UCLA is that it’s so close to so many attractive places to get away and have fun. There’s museums, movie…
Princeton Ly – A Date with Medecos
I spent much of last week volunteering for Medecos XII, an international conference for the conservation, ecology, and biodiversity of our planet’s five mediterranean-climate ecosystems. (Can you guess what they are? Keep reading to find out!) The theme for the meeting was “Linking Science to Resource Management.” The first day or two was filled with…
Baikus
It is my last day of summer, and instead of being out drinking Starbucks (what I should be doing), I am indoors packing all of my entire everything into trash bags. It is my fault. I waited and procrastinated until all my packing got squeezed into this one day. So, to de-stress I am…
