With just a week before going back down to LA to start school, I wanted to spend the last few days here in NorCal doing some of my favorite things: walking along the beach and hiking. Last weekend, my mom took a day off from her work to go hiking with me at the Henry…
Zero Week!
Balloons everywhere, flyers left, right, and sideways, herd of new students, Greek shirts…it must be ZERO WEEK. I cannot believe the start of the school year is already here. It seems like just yesterday campus cleared out for summer vacation. I still vividly remember my first Zero Week as a Freshman at UCLA. I…
Back in time for Senior Year
Well, its’s that time of year again….students have already started moving in, band camp has started, RAs are here, and the apartments are surrounded by furniture being moved in and out. I love Fall- as a season and as a quarter. I love that the weather starts too cool off (theoretically) and all of my…
Starstruck!
This weekend I got to cross to MAJOR things off my bucket list. The first of which was my UCLA Bucket List and was planned…the second is my “Before I Die” Bucket List and was a complete surprise! For those of you who have never been to the Hollywood Bowl, it is an experience! It…
Premed Life: Shadowing Doctors
During the time I was back home for the summer, I had a chance to shadow a couple of local doctors and dentists. I had made previous arrangements months before through email and phone, and it was surprisingly difficult to find doctors who were available for shadowing. I got to shadow an orthodontist, an oral surgeon, an osteopathic…
Tour D’Elegance
Every third week of August, these is a car show in the area I live in NorCal. This annual event is called Pebble Beach Tour D’Elegance, and although I’ve lived here for the last 9 years of my life, this year was the first time I decided to actually check it out. My cousin came…
Sprouts Superiority
Slowly but surely I am becoming good at feeding myself. Eating in the dorms was (perhaps surprisingly) very complex. The decision of where to grab lunch on the Hill almost always involved a series a calculations that included things like the number of stairs on the way to the dining hall, salad bar choices, and…
Free Kayaking!
I don’t know if you can tell, but I love the outdoors! I love running, hiking, going to the beach, and now….KAYAKING! UCLA students get two free hours of kayaking down at the Marina Del Rey Aquatics Center. This is something that I’ve heard about numerous times, but have never taken advantage of. Recently my…
Best Seafood
One of the places I visited in South Korea this summer is a little Southern county named Taean(“Tae-Ahn”), located in Choongchung province. Famous for its unpolluted air, beautiful beaches, and national parks, Taean is a popular tourist attraction in Korea. I luckily had an opportunity to go there to visit one of my aunts this…
Not so Gloomy Afterall!
In LA we may not get extreme weather, but we do experience a natural phenomenon known as “June Gloom”. For those of you unfamiliar with this term, June Gloom refers to the spring/summer cloud cover that happens most mornings in June. This may not sound all that extreme, but the weather in the mornings looks…
