This past weekend was State Finals! It’s a two-day event put on by the UCLA Alumni Association, and it is essentially a scholarship competition for incoming students who have received an alumni scholarship. Because I am a part of the Outreach Committee for the Alumni Scholars Club (which is the club with all the kids…
Princeton Ly – UCLA Factor
One of the most awesome things about UCLA is our rich basketball tradition. Alumni of the Four Letters include all-time greats like Kareem (then Lew Alcindor), Bill Walton, Gail Goodrich, Reggie Miller – the list could go on and on. Our more recent NBA matriculates haven’t done that shabby either. Depending on how you count…
First battle field: Accomplished
Hey there fellow Bruins, my apologies that I couldn’t write a blog over the weekend. I was preparing for my first battlefield for this quarter. For those current Bruins, we all know that week 4 is the week where everyone is waiting for, not really. But anyway, I just did my first midterm for this…
Meeting Josh Hutcherson
This past week, along with my roommate, I got to meet Peeta from Hunger Games- Josh Hutcherson. Josh was here on behalf of Ally Week representing the anti-bullying campaign Straight But Not Narrow. It was wonderful being able to meet such an inspirational and rising young artist such as Josh. I was so star struck!…
College Nights!
It’s that time. It’s spring quarter. It’s college night time. Every year, both the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Getty Center throw huge-o parties, creatively titled “College Night”s because they are for college students and happen in the evening time. College nights are so so fun. There’s art, there’s fellow college students,…

Somethings bruin out-of-state!
Some of the other bloggers have already written about Bruin Day, but I can offer a unique experience as an out of state student. When I was deciding whether or not to attend UCLA there was no Bruin Day. I really wish there had been, because Bruin Day is an amazing day. I could not…
Food
Around UCLA, we are blessed with many gourmet yet affordable dining options. I recently had the chance to try a few of them. In Westwood proper, Five Guys opened just a month or two ago. They are famous for their customizable burgers, and also offer hot dogs and fries. I personally like our neighborhood In-N-Out…
United on Bruin Day
This past Saturday UCLA held Bruin Day to welcome and introduce our campus to incoming Bruins that will officially start school this Fall. I worked the event on behalf of Bruin Ambassadors and I cannot say how excited and thrilled I was to welcome some of our new Bruins home. UCLA has had such a…
