This past weekend my dear friend Bobbie had a couple of visitors from England staying with her. She had studied abroad with them in Manchester and they were taking advantage of their Gap Year to explore the west coast from San Diego up to Seattle. Fortunately for them, their stop in LA was guaranteed…

Involvement and Working on Campus
It is a lovely Monday morning in the UCLA Admissions Office! I have been working for UARS‘ Recruitment Unit for a week now, and it has been a great learning experience for me so far. Many students at UCLA (myself included) want nothing more than to get involved and, at the same time, take advantage…
Bringing UCLA to Future Bruins
Today I was fortunate enough to do a presentation with my supervisor for high school students on the UC Personal Statement. As a Bruin Ambassador, I’m responsible for talking to prospective students and future Bruins about UCLA, applying to UCLA, and what it’s like to be a student at the best school in the world….
Missing the Bruins
This week I resumed my old job of working in a law office for a family law attorney. I did this job for almost 4 years before leaving for UCLA and I was able to come back in the summer to do more work. The attorney I work for is a Bruin Alumni, both Undergrad…
From dorms to apartments
The week between the end of spring quarter and the beginning of Summer Session A is always busy with students moving off campus to go home for the summer, or getting ready for other plans such as study abroad or internships (in LA and elsewhere). I am blogging from Vancouver where my family currently resides…
Missing the Perks
Traveling and being home is a lot of fun for me. I adore visiting tourist attractions, relaxing, and spending time with family, but I miss the perks UCLA has to offer. When I am in Westwood I spend a lot of my time at the John Wooden Center, which is our on campus gym. All…
Botanical Gardens
Here I am at the end of my Freshman year at UCLA. I am studying for finals, finishing up projects, and eating a ton of junk food. As this year closes, I reflect back on my experiences thus far. Sure I have done really awesome things and made totally amazing friends, but I think my…
Collective de-stressing at UCLA
At UCLA, there is a myriad of fun traditions that showcase our unity and Bruin spirit on the campus. One of my favorites is the Midnight Yell that takes place throughout every finals week, starting Sunday. This is the week at the end of each quarter during which students are feeling pressured and apprehensive about…
Let Your Voice Be Heard
Last week was busy and filled with exams, projects, and papers. All of this stress has made it nearly impossible for me to get out of my study cave and get onto campus. The only time I was outside was when I was walking to and from class. As I walked through the sunken gardens at…
Sunny, Beautiful LA
Memorial Day weekend has come and gone. It ended on a beautiful day with beautiful weather. One of the best things I love about LA is the weather. Lately, it’s been nice and sunny. I returned today to UCLA after a 3-day stay at home. I have to admit that I missed UCLA a bit….
