Most students were doing one this weekend: studying. When I visited school to study on Saturday, the campus was so empty and quiet. This is probably because some students had begun to take their finals since last Saturday. One thing that I’m looking forward to is that my last final will be on Thursday, which…
Holi 2012
This past weekend, I went with a group of friends to an Indian event, Holi, with traditional roots celebrating the festival of harvest, held right on campus at our Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. Long before the event started, a long twisting line of students waited to enter the upper field where all the colored…
Construction
I think regardless of what college campus you are on, some type of construction is happening. Chances are, the tour guide has some joke with the acronym of the university and construction. UCLA- Under Construction Like Always. Currently, we have some really amazing projects going on. I hadn’t been up on the hill in awhile…
The Dodgertown Classic
Growing up, April 1st was always one of my favorite days of the year. Why? Because it meant the start of the major league baseball season. I hate the period of time between the end of football season and the beginning of baseball, so when baseball season finally rolls around, I am ecstatic. But when…
Princeton Ly – Home
One of the most common criticisms of UCLA is its size. And it is true, we are a large public university, with over 38,000-odd students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. But, as I have alluded to and written about many times before, size comes with innumerable opportunities to take hold of. Today though,…
The week where my sanity is being tested!
This coming week is week 10 and as my professor ever said, this is the “holy cow” moment; and I have to say, I couldn’t agree more than that. All this time has been building up to this week-the last fighting week before finals. Last week during week 9, I started seeing students sitting at…
Hollywood 10K
Recently, I have been preparing for a 10k mile run I am doing with two of my very good UCLA buddies! It’s going to be happening in Hollywood which only makes it a little bit better :). The event is placed in efforts to benefit the Los Angeles Youth Network and LAUSD Beyond The Bell Program….
Disneyland
They say Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, but what they don’t tell you is that this is completely and totally true. I went to both D-Land and California Adventure this past weekend, and my day there was pretty close to perfect. I went with a sizable group from UCLA – there were about 30 of…
Dorm Dinner
In what is becoming a quarterly tradition, Bruin Ambassadors had their final meet of the quarter in De Neve Dining Hall. (Side note: Bruin Ambassadors is the undergraduate admissions program I work for). For those of us who no longer live on the hill, the younger ambassadors pull together enough swipes to feed all of…
UCLA Student Athletes
As a student at UCLA you are always exposed to people on campus who have very different lives from your own. One large segment of this population at UCLA are student athletes. They are just as much a student as anybody else at UCLA but often they are looked upon as something else by the…
