Spring Sing

Remember a little over a month ago when I wrote a post about camping out to buy Spring Sing tickets? Well after lots of waiting, Spring Sing finally came! The big night was last Friday and it was so much fun. We got there fifteen minutes ahead of time (yippee, reserved seating!) and all got…

Magic Castle vs The Avengers!

The Avengers!!! Enough said, you already know what I want to say… It was so amazing!!! I’m not a big super hero fan, but for this movie I can say that I loved it!! It was worth my time and worth my money to watch it 🙂 But before that, let’s back up couple hours…

UCLA Luskin Lecture for Thought Leadership

Gina gave you the scoop on how having the former president come to campus shook things up, but how about an insider’s look! I was one of those lucky students she mentioned who got to go see Clinton speak (for free, woo woo!). Besides a bunch of extra security Ă  la the secret service (which…

Bill Clinton

On my normal day walk back from class, I passed by a security notification restricting Royce Hall access tonight due to Bill Clinton’s speech. Yes, Bill Clinton, former president of the United States. It’s certainly not an everyday occasion that a man of this stature speaks at our University! He was the keynote speech for…

Week 5- Halfway done with Undergrad!

This week brings Week 5! That means that I am halfway done with my Undergraduate  years as a student at UCLA. This is definitely ringing a bell that midterms are coming, papers are coming, graduation event-planning is coming, and graduation itself is upon us. It seems like Spring Quarter is flying by! Next thing you…

Interview with a Phobic

In lieu of an in class midterm examination, my psychology of fear requires an interview of a subject with a phobia with a six page write-up of the interview. This has been quite an interesting assignment. I have very little psychology background knowledge, so I have been doing a little bit of extra work just…

State Finals

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!…
