This year, I have been so thankful and blessed to have so many amazing things happen to me. I am so grateful for everything I have experienced. In recent weeks, a lot of my friends have approached me and commented on how much positivity I radiate on my official Facebook page. Well, to them I…
A Blustery Day
Around this time each year, I like to watch the movie the Holiday with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz (oh and like Jude Law and that Jack Black character, but I prefer these two fab ladies). Thankfully, it has been on my mind lately (as in I have been reciting dialogue in my head). One…
Thanksgiving Break
After making it through lab until five on Wednesday, I ventured ten miles across town to my mother’s house. This was my first year not driving to Northern California, so the significantly shorter drive was fantastic. Of course, being in Los Angeles, I decided to go on a flash card making binge after lab…
Apartment Hunting
Finals aside, one of the things you should be thinking about as a UCLA student is where you’re going to be living next year, and with who. The dorms are of course a great option, especially if you’re just a first year this year. I’ll tell you right now, having food at the swipe…
Things I do before Finals…
Well this is week 10 which means finals are next week! So what are the things I do to prepare for finals? So much is going on…but I couldn’t be more excited. As a college student, you have multiple things going on at the same time. If it isn’t something it’s another thing. I have…
Special Guest: Bill Nye
If you told my young, elementary-school self back in the day when I watched his show religiously that Bill Nye the Science Guy would one day come to my college and give a talk hosted by CEC which I’d be fortunate enough to attend, and at which I would have had the opportunity to shake…
Thanksgiving Break
I have just had a stellar Thanksgiving break. Literally, I ate turkey among the stars. Kidding. I did have a ton of fun, though. The weekend began early because my only class on Wednesday was more of a fun hang-out sesh with the professor than a strict lecture, and the rest of my day included…
My Visit to the Lovely Ashe Center
Once upon a time, I woke up to the worst sore throat I’ve ever had. It was extremely painful and on top of that I had a discussion and a lecture to attend. Eeeek. In high school, one could easily just tell mom and dad that you weren’t feeling too well so they could call…
Beat ‘SC Week
Our campus takes some drastic measures to prepare for the USC football game. We are really lucky to have such a great school across town for a fun rivalry. In order to protect our bruin bear, precautionary protection is implemented. What looks like an oversized cardboard box is placed over the bear with signs that…
Princeton Ly – Study Time
It’s hard to believe that the quarter is almost over. They’re already playing Christmas music on the radio! In any case, for us college students, the approaching holidays mean that we must overcome one last major obstacle between now and complete freedom: finals. One of the hardest things to do in studying for finals…
