Spring quarter is always the most difficult for me to finish because it marks the end of a school year and the culmination of their UCLA experience for an entire class of seniors. In a week, I will be losing a handful of my favorite people at UCLA, and they will head off into the…
It’s the end of the year? That means banquets.
Lots of banquets. UCLA has tons of student clubs and organizations (close to 1000!), and many of these clubs have end-of-the-year parties. Perhaps the best e-o-t-y shindig is the ~banquet~. Not every club has one (for example, my Alumni Scholars Club, which regularly caters its events, doesn’t hold any fancy school’s-over foodie party for its…
Studying Away
In exactly one week, I will have finished my last final and the 2011-2012 school year will officially be over. I am really excited to go up to my favorite summer camp, Woodward West, the next week and coach gymnastics. But before that, there is work to be done. I was able to get…
Summertime
Now that the school year is winding down, inquiring minds want to know – what should one look to do during what is sure to be another sunny Los Angeles summer? 1) Hollywood Bowl Just ten miles from campus is one of the coolest venues in California: the Hollywood Bowl. I have had the…
Just the Beginning
This upcoming week is my last week at UCLA…it is so eerie just to type that out. Just three years ago, I was just about to graduate high school and discover college land. I was so scared. Three years later, I am in the same position. I am about to graduate college and moving on…
The Career Center
Last week, I finally made my first trip to UCLA’s Career Center. I have been hearing about the Career Center even before I started my freshman year. During orientation I went to a presentation about the center and the various services they offer to students. Info on the center didn’t stop then – I continued…
Prepping for an annual spring concert
Since the fall of 2010, I have dedicated myself to a wonderful community service group on campus called YOUTHphonics A Cappella. Despite being an interdigitation of students with majors from all over campus, varying interests, and different musical preferences, one thing we have in common is our passion for singing and sharing music with local…
Picking a Paper Topic
As the end of the quarter is nearing, it is time to get working on those final papers. Some students dread them; I personally love them because they are usually in lieu of the final. But, I always struggle with picking a topic! Professors will tend to give very vague and open instructions, like pick…
Princeton Ly – Hollywood on Campus
For whatever reason, college students really, really like their TV shows. People I know that never followed any shows in high school have ended up running through entire seasons of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ or ‘The Wire’ in weeks, if not days. I personally “caught up” with the whole Friends craze (just a decade…
My friend Ruth
Throughout the past two years, I have been able to know one of the most influential and fabulous people ever. She started out as my supervisor/boss but is now my full fledged friend. Her name is Ruth. She does an amazing job at supervising the Bruin Ambassador Program; the program wouldn’t be where it is…
