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…
Featured Study Spot: Young Research Library
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…
