I know I’ve said this before, but one of the best parts of UCLA is the food! Most of my first two years at UCLA were spend at Bruin Cafe. That may sound like an exaggeration but considering the number of meals I ate there and the hours I’ve study there (not to mention working there…
Food Truck Feast
I think most Bruins can agree that food is a HUGE part of the college experience. Whether it’s eating in our top rated dining halls or going out in Westwood eating is something UCLA is all about. Tuesday night I had the chance to go to a food truck event in Santa Monica. Food trucks…
An Unusual Event to Kickoff Spring
One of the greatest things about UCLA is its proximity to the ocean. Turns out this is just as practical as it is fun! Another great thing about UCLA is that you are surrounded by people who have not yet lost their inner child. On Saturday, a group of us went into a park in…
Back to the Books- but in the sunniest quarter of the year!
First off a tiny bit about me! I am a second year history major and education minor. I am originally from Dana Point, CA. My goal is to become a teacher (k-12) and I absolutely love working with kids. Fortunately UCLA has given me the opportunity to get super involved! I also work for Undergraduate…
Easter in the Bay!
Spring break has officially ended and classes have resumed. This is always such a bittersweet time. I’m sad that break is over, but spring quarter really is the best quarter. The sun is shining, fun events like Spring Sing occur, and I have no Friday classes! It was nice that Spring Break coincided with Easter…
Spring Break…it’s Good to be Home!
Spring Break can some times seem like the eye of the storm. On one side of break we have finals from Winter Quarter. On the other side we have the entirety of Spring Quarter. This one short week is the only thing that comes between each 11 weeks! That being said, it is one of the…
Finals don’t have to be stressful!
Finals week is now underway and already UCLA students across campus have settled into “Finals Mode”. Finals mode includes an increase in studying, a decrease in sleep, excess coffee, and a more frequent use of libraries. In the midst of finals week craziness, it is important to take a moment to breathe and find our…
Dining on Campus
We have four dining halls (each with its own theme) and three fast service restaurants. Students who live on “The Hill” (on campus housing) take for granted the amazing food that we have, but by the time you get to the apartments, you miss it. Personally, I have loved cooking for myself. I can make…
Success in Travel
I have arrived at the mature and knowledgeable traveler stage in my life. I can’t say I hope it lasts for a while, because once I return to the United States I believe the extent of my traveling will be to and from the next town. Still, all of my international voyaging has been doing me good….
Coffee and the College Student
Coffee is something that (almost) every college student is familiar with. When I first came to college, I was not a coffee drinker but I quickly became one. One of the great things about coffee is that you can get it just about anywhere on campus. BCaf is open until 2am, the dining halls have…
