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…
Intersexuality and the Law
On Thursday, I attended a talk given by Julie A. Greenberg that was put on by the Williams Institute. The Williams Institute, which is part of the UCLA Law School and works to advance sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy, puts on talks like the one I attended about a variety…
My Classes
WOW! I can’t believe I have already taken my first midterm of the quarter, and next week will be the half-way point. Boy, is time flying. And it’s February?? Hard to tell with all this wonderful sunshine! With that said, I thought I would tell you a little bit about the classes I am taking….
Princeton Ly – UCLA Trivia
Did you know that the most successful Division I coach in NCAA history is UCLA’s Al Scates, with a record 19 NCAA men’s volleyball titles? Scates is believed to be the only current NCAA coach to have won titles in five decades, starting in the 1960’s! Did you know that Campbell Hall was originally built…
Quarter System and Exams…
One thing to know about the quarter system is that it goes by extremely fast! We are in Winter quarter and it is now Week 4. Midterms are already rolling in during this time. Two of my roommates have multiple midterms this week. My midterms are thankfully next week, so I still have a week…
