I don’t think there was ever a time in my life when I didn’t love field trips. Whether they were informative and educational or purely excursionary in nature, I always enjoyed taking a day off from the classroom setting and stepping out into the real world. On Wednesday, I did just that with my Forest…
My new study spot
This quarter, my two south campus classes are both held in the heart of north campus, one in Dodd Hall and the other next door in Bunche. I have a two hour gap between them on Wednesday, and have discovered my new favorite study spot. With the beautiful spring weather, I like to study outside,…
A Solar Afternoon
I cannot believe that it is already the end of 8th week, spring quarter of my second year. It is hard to believe how quickly this quarter, and this year has flown by. I cannot wait for summer, but I also really do not want to leave UCLA and Southern California! I have had…
Delicious & Hilarious
Wednesday night was an excellent night for two reasons: it was delicious it was hilarious Wednesday was the night of the Hill’s annual themed dinner. Every year, Housing & Hospitality goes above and beyond to put on a beautiful themed dinner for the residents in the dorms. Last year, the theme was Hawaiian, which meant…
A day trip to Oakland: Northern California Transfer Reception
Last Friday, I took a day trip as an international student representative to Merritt College in Oakland for UARS’ Northern California Transfer Reception. Amid getting up before dawn and flying on Southwest Airlines for the first time, I found plenty of time to enjoy the lovely weather in the Bay Area and the view from…
Portugal. The Man
Before I start let me just say that I usually do not like live music. It’s loud, it’s hard to understand, and it’s almost always stuff I don’t know the words to (the only songs I know by heart are Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Rhianna and Glamorous by Fergie). The other…
An Interesting Approach to Therapy
I am not quite sure why my Psychology of Fear class keeps coming up as my topic of choice for my blog entries, but here we go again. In reality, it does dominate my life! This weekend, our professor was out of town, so we had a guest lecturer. I was aware I had to…
A Day in Pre-History
One of the best things about UCLA is the incredible faculty. Every member of our faculty is very accomplished and they are incredibly smart people. Of course, there are a few stars. I have the privilege of taking a geography class with Jared Diamond. Professor Diamond has written New York Times bestsellers including Guns Germs…
Princeton Ly – Savings
With college costs rising every year, students need all the help they can get to save money. I recently started using NerdWallet’s* tools, and it has helped save me a few hundred dollars a year (and lots of time). I thought I’d share some of the things I learned to help save you money. 1) Checking accounts with…
Test Taking Continues
Yesterday, I took the CSET Multiple Subjects test: it includes of three subtests spanning over English subjects, History, Science, Math, Physical Development, Human Development and Visual and Performing Arts. It was one of the hardest tests I’ve ever taken. Though it doesn’t go all the way up to the hardest parts of every subject it…
