Thunder in Westwood

Just when I thought I had had it with Westwood weather for being strangely chilly all week, it gives us what we’ve all been waiting for… a thunderstorm.  Maybe not all of us, but personally I have always had a strange fascination and obsession over thunderstorms.  Growing up, I was often the only girl in…

Camping out for Spring Sing tickets

Spring Sing is just around the corner! Spring Sing is one of UCLA’s oldest and fondest traditions. It is a huge talent show that takes place every spring quarter, and it is seriously one of the most incredible things that UCLA produces. There are singers, dancers, and bands that each perform a single song for…

Spring Ball

One of my favorite things about spring quarter is the start of spring IM sports. I always make sure that I am on as many IM teams as possible, and in spring that means softball. When the weather warms up it is only natural to get restless. It becomes difficult to concentrate on studying or…

Weather Confusion

It’s been awhile since my last blog about the weather so here we go again. I walked to the gym and it was slightly raining. I left the gym and the rain had stopped. I walked to class and needed to take my sweatshirt off because it was sunny! (note: It was 8:30 am). After…

I couldn’t be any more excited to learn about different proposed bills currently in the Judicial system. In this class, we will dive into the process of simulating the role of…

Legendary Bingo!

On Wednesday, I partook in my second night ever of Legendary Bingo. Every year in spring quarter, the tour guides go as a group to Hamburger Mary’s, a super duper fun drag joint located on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood. There are mediocre fries, huge milkshakes serves in margarita glasses, and lots of people…

Countin’ Down

While it seems like most of my peers were catching up on sleep or laying on a beach, I spent my break either at gymnastics practice or preparing for the MCAT. I cannot wait to be finished studying for this test. I have honestly spent at least two hundred hours preparing for this exam. I…

From its website: The Bruin Leaders Project is a seminar-based, leadership development program designed to provide effective leadership training with emphasis on personal growth and community involvement. Open to all UCLA students (undergraduates & graduates), BLP offers interactive seminars…
