Happy New Year, dear reader. I hope you had a refreshing break (if you were indeed lucky enough to have one at all!) full of family and friends. One of the benefits of being in college is that the quarter ends before Christmas vacation, meaning that there is not much bothering you once school lets…

Fa la la la la Fall Quarter is over!
Winter quarter is right around the corner, which means that I survived my first quarter at UCLA. Congratulate me because it was a little rocky. New place. New job. New people. I’m definitely looking forward to next quarter. This time I’ll know what’s going on most of the time. The only thing I’m looking forward…
Working Off Finals Stress
This is my favorite time of the quarter for working out. Unlike most of my fellow bruins who hunker down and study only, I still enjoy a nice workout at the end of the quarter. Plus, we are coming off Thanksgiving and going into Christmas! I view working out as a “vacation” away from studying….
Zero Week: no longer a Fall phenomenon!
Some of you may love the Fall quarter especially for its Week 0 (“zero week”) on top of the football season and great weather (it was 80ºF/26ºC this past weekend!), but luckily for us, this year we will have Week 0’s for all of our quarters. I love Week 0 because that’s when everyone is…
The Beginning of a New Year
It is almost the end of 2011 and 2012 is almost here. It’s the beginning of new year which means the beginning of shifting your focus to new goals and accomplishments for the year. Here is to an amazing 2012 for all of us! 2011 has brought a lot of amazing experiences for me….
Snowflakes!
It is officially the holiday season. In my opinion, this is the happiest time of the year. The scarves, the hot chocolate, the music (I mean have you heard JBieb’s Christmas Eve?)! But my favorite part of the winter time is not the sparkly decorations or the yule logs or the scented candles (though scented…
Schedule Planning
Decisions. Decisions. As soon as the schedule for winter quarter classes comes out, deciding what to take and when to take a class becomes a seemingly cumbersome process. I thought, this shouldn’t take me long, I’m a third year now, shouldn’t I have limited options of what classes to take? Wrong. In fact, even now…
Christmas Spirit
Southern California often gets blasted because our winters are so mild – no White Christmases, these. But I think even in Los Angeles there is a sense of holiday spirit when December rolls around and the temperatures dip. One of my favorite places to be around this time is in the greater Pasadena area. Home…
International student’s tips: Getting to LAX
It may seem daunting to get out of Westwood to LAX on Thanksgiving and the holiday break when everyone seems to be leaving at the same time, and throughout my time here I’ve accrued some favorite routes I like to take to get to the airport. If you are an international or out-of-state student, or…
