What an unusually warm day in January! According to the weather report, it was past 80ºF (27ºC) in the middle of the day, and even late at night it is a pleasant 60ºF (14ºC). Only in LA do you get the perk of being reminded of summer weather in the middle of the winter…
The Getty, Ladies and Gentlemen
Now I know that we have mentioned the Getty before on this blog. But. It deserves more than a mention. The Getty Center is my favorite place in Los Angeles. And let me tell you why. It is gorgeous. Like just strikingly beautiful. The architecture, the view, the tram, the gardens (the gardens!). It all…
MCAT Prep
Well, it is my time to enjoy the favorite time of every pre-medical student’s career, preparing for the MCAT. The MCAT is essentially the medical school version of the SAT. Except, it is much more intense. The test includes sections on biological sciences, (organic chemistry and biology) physical sciences (physics and general chemistry), verbal…
Princeton Ly – Coach
There is only one person in UCLA history that can be known simply by the name “Coach”. That man is Coach John Wooden, famously described by a former player as an “intergalactic treasure“. The statistics are recited so often that they almost lose their shock value, but here they are again: ten national championships, an…

Westwood LIVE is meant to celebrate three…
Hausu!
Last Friday, I went with my friend Mariam to a screening of House, or Hausu in Japanese, that was put on by the Campus Events Commission. Before I get into the details, just let me tell you that this screening was probably definitely the most entertaining free CEC event that I have been to….
Tis The Season
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No- I am not crazy. I realize Christmas was a month ago. I am talking about gymnastics season! Every weekend I look forward to cheering on our team to victory. For those of you who don’t know, UCLA Gymnastics is one of the premier teams in the…
Academic Advisement
Hey readers! I hope all is well with your daily lives and such. For the most part my daily life has been fantastic. Even though I’ve been unusually busy this week, I made a goal to set an appointment with my academic advisor. An academic advisor is comparable to a counselor; he or she is…
