Normally, winter break at UCLA is a very comfortable three weeks long. Last year, we got a fourth week on account of the new year falling on a Sunday, and the extra time nearly killed me because of the additional gluttony and TV watching. The French school system is set up to give you just…
3 Day Weekend and Adventures!
As a friend of mine put it: “Winter is my favorite week of the year!” Despite the cold snap we had last week, this week has been nothing but blue skies! I’ve been able to do a lot on particularly sunny weekends, and it was all so close by! Seeing as it is only…
When life speeds up, you slow down!
After a hiatus from the Blog I am back, and I am pumped to start sharing my experiences with all of you again! Between spring quarter, winter quarter, and fall quarter, winter quarter always goes by faster than all the others, and this year is no exception. Somehow, it is already third week and I…
A Cold Snap
They say that stereotypes were meant to be broken….that may be true. However, it may also be true that the stereotype of Southern Californians are not capable of handling cold weather. The high of the past week has not been above 60. I may be from Northern California, but I have definitely gone soft since…
Friday Night in K.Town
One of the things I like about attending UCLA is that I get to go to Korea Town whenever I want to. Not just because I’m Korean, but because of all the delicious food and the authentic culture found in that place. When I first visited K.Town, I had forgotten that I was in America…
Back to LA
I’ve been back in LA for the past week and it has been one of the best weeks yet! It was nice to be back in my apartment after two weeks all over the state! I was at home for most of the vacation, but I got to spend a night up in Sacramento for…

Changing my graduation plans
It’s hard to believe that this very day three years ago, I had just finished my first round of finals as a freshman at UCLA. It has been a long and hard (but rewarding) journey since then, and I can barely believe how far I’ve come. In September, I began the quarter with the end…
Fête des Lumières
It’s wintertime here in Lyon! That means snow, lots of soup in my homestay, and the Fête des Lumières. The Fête des Lumières is a giant festival that happens in the beginning of December every year in Lyon. It draws millions of people from around France and around the world. It last for four days and features ~dazzling~…
The Weirdest Week of the Quarter.
Finals week is crazy for so many reasons! It’s always been my least favorite week and my favorite week. Everyone is so sleep deprived and has no class that we all just end up having some of the best memories! It is not uncommon to go into a dorm study lounge at 3 in the…
