This past weekend saw the opening and closing of Hooligan Theatre Company‘s fall musical, “Spring Awakening”! Starting on Friday evening at 8pm, the company brought on its rendition of the award-winning musical in our very own Schoenberg Auditorium, and henceforth had three more shows throughout the weekend, ending on Sunday afternoon’s matinee showing. Although tickets…
The Holidays
The Holidays are upon us which means finals are coming up! These times call for great gratitude and appreciation. I am such a happier person during these times. I am a happy person in general. But super duper happy during Thanksgiving and Christmas. This upcoming week brings Thanksgiving which makes me so thankful to celebrate…
Mentor Mixer with ASC (and the rest of my Thursday night)
Thursday night was a busy night for me (as Thursday nights tend to be). I got out of class at four and then had to head back to my room for an hour to gather my things, have a Reese’s, and surf the interwebs. I walked down to Broxton for the second Westwood Live…
Open Gym Antics
Three-day weekends at UCLA are very contradictory. On one hand, campus seems incredibly empty while several events still seem to be taking place! I had friends who took ski trips, beach trips and even retreats with their school clubs. I kept pretty busy with athletic events on Friday and Saturday, and open lab re-scheduled for…
Princeton Ly – It All Comes Together
One of the classes I’m currently taking as part of my Marine Biology major is Ichthyology, or the study of fishes. Taught by the Merlin-esque Professor Buth, the class is one of the most interesting I’ve taken in a long time. For instance, our laboratory exams involve identifying the taxonomic information of around three hundred…
Bruins in the Village
This past Thursday evening saw no less than hundreds of Bruins in Westwood at a great event titled “Bruins Night Out” hosted by CEC (Campus Events Commission) and General Representative 1 office. It was incredible to see the streets packed with students eagerly seeking the myriad of deals that night, including free Diddy Riese cookies, buy…
Geocaching on campus
I had finished my anthropology lecture on Thursday and was heading through Wilson Plaza when I ran into my friend George. He didn’t have class, and I had to wait two hours before my friend could meet me for lunch, so we decided to hang out (well, I kind of decided – I didn’t want…
On Football
Because of some family matters, I could not make the game this past Saturday. But being a good Bruin, I managed to catch it during dinner on one of the restaurant’s televisions – a stroke of extraordinary luck, given most fans probably don’t have the Versus channel. In any case, it was a great, spirit-rousing…
Inner-City Arts
This past week, I had the privilege to interview one of directors of the non-profit arts organization Inner-City Arts. It is located in the heart of Skid Row. To date, it has been one of the most overwhelming and amazing experiences I’ve had as a UCLA student. As part of my class assignment, my group…
Rainy days are coming soon
And I am so extremely excited about it. As great as wearing shorts and drinking iced tea is, I am a much bigger fan of waking up to overcast skies and sipping chai lattes while listening to the tap tap tapping of rainfall. Last year, the rains started earlier here in L.A. (sometime in October)….
