This past weekend was Dance Marathon! Wooooo! It was so fun, so grand, so tiring! Let me break it down. DM is a 26-hour dance party that is hosted by the Pediatric AIDS Coalition at UCLA. I am part of that coalition (PAC for short), and besides DM we put on a bunch of super…
Physiology of Nutrition
This quarter I am taking my first upper division elective class for my major. The elective courses are pretty neat since they focus on a specific topic. My class is titled “Physiology of Nutrition.” It is quickly becoming one of my favorite classes I have taken at UCLA. The topic applies directly to day…
3 day weekend for a Bioengineering student
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…
Rain and Sunshine
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…
