One of the best things about UCLA is UCLA Live!, hands down. It brings all sorts of performances to our very own Royce Hall auditorium, one of the premier concert halls in the nation. I have attended contemporary ballets, cultural programs, plays, and also performed onstage with the UCLA Choral Department for our quarterly galas….
Quarter System…and How Fast it Goes
It’s Fall Quarter and here, we are about to start Week 4. One of the fabulous things that I love about the quarter system is how fast it goes. Some might be afraid of it, but hey, I love the challenge. It seems as if just yesterday we were all just getting adjusted to back-to-school…
Gloria Steinem, y’all
Ok, before I tell you about hearing the ~fab~ Gloria Steinem speak, I will give you some background about my situation both in general and immediately prior to the event. First off, I was recently accepted as a Daily Bruin intern for the Opinion section – yay! right? Well, mostly right. Unfortunately, as a member of…
Princeton Ly – Thoughts on Liberal Arts
It’s interesting to think that when UCLA was founded, it was mainly tasked with producing educated professionals – think teachers and accountants. Nowadays, UCLA has morphed into a sprawling public research university, with the bulk of its graduates receiving degrees from the College of Letters and Science. Education and Accounting have been regulated to minors,…
It’s midterm season!
Keeping up with my weather post from last week, today was hot!! It sure is hard to know it’s October when its over 80 degrees. I may be confused if it is Fall, but I definitely know it is midterm season! Midterms at UCLA apparently start as early as week 3, as I am currently…
Preparing Yourself for College
This past week, I had the privilege to participate in College Week Live’s Live Chat along with another one of UCLA’s students. Let me begin by saying that I had such a blast participating. Being able to answer questions from prospective students, particularly about UCLA, was amazing. We had question after question coming in. Being…
Office Hours —> go to them
Listen up, y’all. If you haven’t been to at least one of your professor’s office hours, then you are not being the best student you can be. Actually, you just aren’t being the best human you can be. This post will tell you why OHs are good to go to, if you want to boost…
Princeton Ly – Big Time
One of the not-so-secret things you need to know about UCLA is that it is huge. Over 25,000 undergraduates and maybe half as many graduate students, a pretty good balance, in my opinion. (Often lost in the shuffle is the fact that there is about one paid administrative staffer per undergraduate student – ludicrous!) Of…
A Rainy Day at UCLA
During my hour break between classes on Tuesday, I decided to study outside on the lawn by Janss Steps. I enjoyed the sunshine while going over my neuroanatomical flashcards (and maybe napped a little too). As always, I appreciated how much I love going to school under the wonderful Southern California sunshine! However, on Wednesday,…
Welcome to Hogwarts
UCLA has been compared to the fictional school of wizardry numerous times. It’s a running joke among all the students, mainly because of its grand architecture (and because we’re so smart, just like Hermione). The original campus once consisted of just four buildings: Royce Hall, the Physics-Biology Building, the College Library (Powell Library), and the…
