Princeton Ly – Positive Randomness

My apologies for the brief hiatus in posts, I have been supremely busy this past week dealing with interviews and such. But I’m back! This week I want to talk about something called “Positive Randomness”. I ran across this idea in a post at a blog called Study Hacks. Essentially, what the author and the…

Working for My Dreams

    Those who know me know that I am constantly busy either with school or work. That’s the typical life of a college student. Either we are working to pay off our fees or we are studying/writing papers. We are constantly busy. This upcoming June I graduate but beforehand, during the last few days…

Week 8 here we go!!

I can’t believe I’m already at week 8 of winter quarter!! Before I know it, finals week will be here, which will mark  the end of my second quarter as a Bruin!! This winter quarter is my first quarter taking an upper division BioEngineering class. I can’t lie, I did freak out a little bit….

Touring with the UCLA Chorale

The UCLA Chorale is scheduled to tour to Phoenix, Arizona for a performance this Sunday at the Arizona Musicfest, and I am so excited to be one of the “artists in residence” this weekend!  To be able to tour with my collegiate choir to perform has been an item on my UCLA bucket list —…

Dance Marathon!

Hi there, it’s my first time posting a blog for UCLA and I’m really excited; even better it was a long 3 day weekend!! But as I told you, with the second wave of midterms on their way, this only meant one thing for me: a really really long weekend of studying. . .But it’s…

Old Pasadena

Last weekend I ventured out to Pasadena. Old Pasadena has a nice vibe with lots of families and college kids abound. Old Pasadena is a complex location for Bruins. It is fairly close to the Rose Bowl, where we play our home football games. But, it is also a popular spot to live for students…

The Lovely South Campus

A lot of students I come across often talk about how completely gorgeous North Campus is and how drab and industrial South Campus is. I am here to put an end to this misconception. South Campus is just as beautiful (if even more so!) than collegiate North Campus. Ok, first lemme give you the reasons…

Mid-Term Marathon

I am happy to announce that I have just successfully completed my mid-term marathon! And by that, I mean that I have had 3 midterms in 3 days and it is finally over! This is without a doubt one of the craziest times in the quarter. Everyone is scrambling to find time to study and…
