The recently renovated Young Research Library (popularly known as “YRL”) has been quite the buzz lately, especially among students of North Campus who may be delighted to find a great place to study, that happens to be within a few minutes walking distance of their classes and departments. I myself don’t mind walking a little…
LGBT Resource Fair
On Friday, September 30th, I participated in UCLA’S LGBT Resource Fair and it was such an amazing experience. The UCLA LGBT Resource Center coordinated this fair in an effort to spread awareness about their center at UCLA, as well as other resources available on campus. Along with my other friends and co workers, we roamed…
Princeton Ly – Time to Eat
Los Angeles gets bagged on sometimes because it does not historically boast the haute cuisine that many cities back east have built up over centuries. This stigma has been somewhat ameliorated in recent years, as the city’s food “scene” has taken off and become more recognized in America and around the world for its innovation…
The most delicious thing in all of the dining halls:
Pork. Carnitas. Tacos. These things are really freaking good. I mean like, whoa. UCLA is known for having some super tasty dorm food, but in my opinion these tacos take the prize. Let me tell you why this dish comes out on top. UCLA’s dining hall food, in general, is pretty good. But, it is…
Summer in Spain (and Morocco)
Half-way through the first full week of the quarter! I am starting my first science upper divisions, and not to brag or anything, but I got to look at human brains during lab today! But first, a little bit about me, since this is my first entry… My name is Gina and I am a…
Bruins at the LA County Fair
This past Saturday was UCLA day at the L.A. County Fair. Current UCLA students, staff and their families were able to attend the L.A. County Fair with free admission, and alumni were able to attend for $5 admission rather than the usual $13. If staying around UCLA during zero week weekend isn’t exciting enough for…
The Best Place to Study
So to begin, many exciting things have been happening during my first two weeks at UCLA. Of course Zero week was a blast, but now first week is here, and it’s time to get serious. Studying for college courses can be very different, depending on how well you studied in high school. Professors don’t just…
Starting My Last Year as an Undergrad
This upcoming week is the beginning of my last year, as an undergrad. It is bittersweet in so many ways. Some of you may be thinking, “Wow, calm down, you still have a year to go.” It’s true, but time is really ticking. Throughout the upcoming WEEKS, I will be doing a lot of stuff…
Princeton Ly – UCLA Swag
Hello there! So I recently ran across a spate of UCLA-themed hip-hop references in the last week or so and thought I would share them with you all. The first is a tribute to the greatest UCLA basketball player of all time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, then Lewis Alcindor: Yes, that is the rapper Twista you see…
The horribleness that is getting your textbooks
Do not freak out. Normally, getting your textbooks for your classes is super easy. In fact, all three quarters last year began with beautifully orchestrated textbook transactions (and cheap, too!). This quarter is different. This quarter, the books I have to buy are not only expensive, but also carry a lot of confusing baggage. I…
