One of my favorite things about UCLA is all of the random activities that go on- particularly on the grass by Janss steps. On sunny days this is quite a popular spot to go in between classes. You will see people “hammock”ing, other days it will be people playing the ukulele, but you can almost always…
We are going to finish this strong!!
Hey there Bruins!!! Can you believe that we are already in week 10!?!! Last week of the Fall quarter and that means next week is final week (I’m screaming -silently- just thinking about that) This quarter went super fast, and I mean super super fast. With the 4 classes, work, and lab research, this quarter…
Parents’ Weekend – French edition
I mentioned in my last post that I spent my Thanksgiving with my parents and that I had a super time, but the fun with mom and dad didn’t stop at Thanksgiving! My mom and her friend came to Lyon in the middle of November and stayed right up to the end of the month….
Merci-giving
At first glance, this year’s Thanksgiving was a tiny bit weird for me. Unlike other American festivities that have found their way to Europe (Halloween, Katy Perry dance parties, etc.), Thanksgiving has remained in its country of origin. Nobody quite understands the tradition or knows how to make a paper turkey by tracing their hand. Add…
Gourmet burgers at The Grove
This past Monday was the first time in my three-and-nearly-a-half years at UCLA that I had visited The Grove in Beverly Hills during the holiday season. Before, I had only heard of it and never had the chance to actually see it in all its splendor during the time of year that it is decked…
UCLA vs. USC
Since 1998, UCLA football team has scarcely won over our rivalry school USC. And it has been 5 years since UCLA had last won. But it looks like the tables have turned,…because UCLA beat USC this year! Just this past weekend, the Rose Bowl Stadium hosted an epic battle between the Bruins and the Trojans….
Early start to giving thanks this Thanksgiving :)
What a nice way to kick off the coming Thanksgiving week with our victory on the football game this past weekend! Bruins beat the Trojans 38-28!!! woohoooo 🙂 Now, I wasn’t a big football fan before. However, I went to my first ever football game when we were playing against Arizona, and that was a…
Beat ‘SC Bonfire & Rally 2012
What an incredible and spirited week it has been at UCLA! In the final countdown before the big game with our crosstown rival, we prepared ourselves and made sure our entire campus community was feeling the spirit and enthusiasm it takes to give our team extra reassurance and strength to head over to the Rose…
UCLA in España
I finally finished up my travels this past weekend with a trip to visit friends who are studying abroad in Madrid, Spain. After trekking around Paris, London, and Luxembourg, my friend Sasha and I had a few days of rest before hopping on a tiny plane that took us across the border into the land…
2012 Presidential Elections at UCLA
What a night! The long-anticipated Election Day has come and gone, and the campus is left buzzing (along with the rest of the nation) through our Facebook status updates and Tweets, offering each Bruin’s own two cents on the race for the presidency. Landfair Avenue, typically frequented by residents whose apartments line the hilly street,…
