The crazy part about living in LA is the crazy weather patterns that come with it. I love how it is so sunny and warm one day, but a couple of days we get a little rain here and there. Today was a good example of that- it finally rained! Don’t get me wrong though,…
Princeton Ly – USIE
Last quarter I applied and was accepted into UCLA’s innovative Undergraduate Student Initiated Education (USIE) program, which allows upperclassmen to develop and facilitate seminars on topics of their choice, with the close supervision of a faculty mentor. The course I proposed is called “Controversies in College Athletics: Race, Politics, Gender, and Beyond” and uses UCLA’s…
Keeping up with the Big Dogs
Have you ever attempted to seem really cool and with it and then realized that it is beyond your power to be in control of such a feat? No, just me? You’re all really cool suave people? Well ok then! I have come to a point in my life where I can admit the fact…
Featured Study Spot: Dickson Court
If you think I love scoping out new places to study on campus, you couldn’t be more correct. Sure, the conventional dorm desk or apartment dining table get stuff done, but why not enjoy the lovely outdoors or some ambient coffee shop music while you’re at it? One of the greatest things about this campus…
How to (not) go to premieres
I had originally planned to write an awesome blog post this week about how I got to go to not one but TWO premieres within the span of five days. But I cannot and will not be writing that post because it turns that I failed miserably and did not get to go to either…
Super Sunday at UCLA
As a Bruin Ambassador, I often am asked the question about what life is like living away from home. I usually tell people that everyone’s experience is different, but that you quickly adjust and make UCLA your new home. A great example of this is when events that you are used to happening and experiencing…
Nature Lover
I grew up without television. My friends say this explains a lot about my eccentric personality, but what I think this really did for me was that it fostered a love of the outdoors and the majestic use of my imagination. Growing up we had a large backyard that was packed with trees and flowers…
Managing Your Time
As midterms approach us, we are all balancing our social life with academics. Yesterday was Super Bowl day. Don’t get me wrong, but I’m not much of a football person. I don’t really like it. But between all the excitement and whatnot, I love the half time performances. Let me just tell you that Madonna…
Touring LA
After having spent 3 whole years as a resident of the Los Angeles metropolis, and as I come up on my final quarter here as a student at UCLA, I realized that there is so much about this beautiful city that I have left to learn about. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done my…
Lazy afternoons in Westwood
Despite that I don’t have class on Fridays, I do schedule work and volunteering in the afternoon. Today is one of few rare Friday afternoons that are free of meetings and mandatory obligations so I have time to sit back and relax (which actually means “study”) or take a lazy stroll around Westwood to see…
