Last Winter Quarter for Undergrad

2012 brings in my last two quarters here at UCLA– Winter and Spring Quarter.

Beginning of the Quarter Checklist

Contrary to popular belief, the beginning of the quarter isn’t exactly peaceful! For me, things tend to be hectic, but I know eventually it will all settle down and I will settle into my usual routine. Things to do: 1) Finalize class schedule. Hopefully everything has worked out like I hoped, but sometimes once syllabi…

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….
