Princeton Ly – Upcoming

In the next week or so there are going to be two awesome events taking place at UCLA. The first is Yuki Akaishi‘s Senior Recital in the Jan Popper Theatre of Schoenberg Hall on Saturday, April 21st starting at 8 PM. I have had the distinct pleasure of witnessing Yuki’s maturation as a musician firsthand…

A Look into a Public Policy Research Seminar

For this quarter, I am taking a Public Policy Research Seminar that fulfills my Capstone requirement for the Public Affairs minor I am completing. 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…

Princeton Ly – At Long Last

It’s strange to think that my time at UCLA as an undergraduate will end in just ten short weeks. As I have said before, it’s been an amazingly fun run. Here’s to one more great quarter! To start out, this is what I am up to in Spring 2012: Classes: The details are still being…

Salt Lake City

  This weekend I went to Salt Lake City to cheer on the Bruins at the first ever Pac-12 Gymnastics Championships. Boy was it exciting! Utah has absolutely wonderful gymnastics fans. Over 10,000 of them came out to cheer on their team. They truly made the environment special- I now understand why Utah loves competing…

Princeton Ly – UCLA Memes

  It seems like there are never a shortage of UCLA-specific distractions that pop up during our most busy times as students at UCLA. A few quarters ago, there was this huge “Asians in the Library” fiasco that had everyone talking – during finals week, no less. (But don’t worry, for those of you who…
