Homecoming Weekend

For the first time since 2004, we had a homecoming carnival. On Friday night, the Intramural Field served as a fair ground with games, obstacle courses and dance performances. More importantly, lessons to learn a dance for the flash mob were held. It was great to have an event on campus to celebrate homecoming, in…

Princeton Ly – Playing Hooky

UCLA Football finally got a heartwarming, if still slightly sloppy, win over a beleaguered Cal team this past weekend, 31-14. This still does not change the general consensus by Bruin Nation that there must be swift and decisive change in our Athletics Department, but it was of course nice to get a firm win over…

Parent’s Weekend!

This weekend is Parent’s Weekend! The best weekend of the year! (Maybe not, but I love my parents, and this weekend is the first time I get to see them, ok?) My parents are getting here early Saturday morning which means I have to get up even earlier to get showered, dressed and clean up…

My Big Dilemma

After two years at UCLA, I pretty much bleed blue and gold. I’m personally involved in the athletics world and work for admissions, meaning it is okay for me to be crazy about UCLA all the time. For me it is a no brainer when getting dressed in the morning, wear a UCLA t-shirt! Last…

Water Polo

If you’re from Southern California, you’ve probably heard of or even played water polo. If not, you’re definitely missing out. Water polo is probably one of the easiest games to watch and appreciate – a very low barrier to entry, if you will, compared to football’s arcane regulations or the plodding pace of baseball. I…

Time Management and Procrastination

To begin, time management is a common problem among students on any college campus. Students must divvy their time between classes, extra-curricular activities, studying, and sometimes working. Let’s not forget sleeping. Outside of the academia of college life, students must delegate time to spend with friends and family as well. From what I’ve learned over…

Here’s to brother Bruin, brother Bruin, brother Bruin

I know I have mentioned this one too many times, but it seems to be a topic of discussion that I can’t help but to gush about. BRUIN PRIDE! I have spent three full years here at UCLA and am about to be finishing up my fourth and final year in just a couple quarters….

Westwood Live!

On Thursday night I went to Westwood LIVE, which was essentially a giant block party that was filled with delicious food, fun art, and spectacular music (there were performances by previous winners of Spring Sing!).  It started at 6, and I got there around 6:40. Usually, events at UCLA are ridiculously over-crowded and you need…

A glimpse into Phy Sci 107

Last spring, I successfully completed all my science lower division course work. This means, this fall I began taking classes that were specific for my major, physiological science, instead of just life science core classes. There are about nine life science majors which all have the same pre-requisite classes. Most students take the first two…

Greasy Spoons

At the risk of making myself look like a ridiculous glutton, here’s another post on food. I think there is a soft spot in every guy’s heart for “greasy spoons”. You know what I’m talking about, right? Every town has one – I bet there were a few within walking distance of your high school…
