Monday was the annual Enormous Activities Fair, where hundreds of student-run organizations take advantage of zero week to reach out and recruit interested students for their clubs.

Third Street Promenade
Yesterday, I had the pleasure to go shopping at Third Street Promenade. I had such an amazing time bonding with my roommates and shopping for cute clothes! One of the things that I love about UCLA is that it’s so close to so many attractive places to get away and have fun. There’s museums, movie…
Princeton Ly – A Date with Medecos
I spent much of last week volunteering for Medecos XII, an international conference for the conservation, ecology, and biodiversity of our planet’s five mediterranean-climate ecosystems.

Baikus
It is my last day of summer, and instead of being out drinking Starbucks (what I should be doing), I am indoors packing all of my entire everything into trash bags. It is my fault. I waited and procrastinated until all my packing got squeezed into this one day. So, to de-stress I am…

UCLA Goes to London (Week 2)
Second week in London! This week began with a trip to Camden, a town known for its thrift shops and food. It was like going to a giant outdoor market; vendors everywhere trying to sell you so much stuff. A group of us spent a few hours there and my friend Evan and I broke…
UCLA Spotted: “University of Farmers” commercial
One sunny day half a year ago, I passed by a blank sign of the same motif as the four beautiful buildings in Royce quad, and didn’t think much of it. The sign was blank and positioned slightly crooked, but I thought no more of it and continued on my way to class. If I…
