It is a lovely Monday morning in the UCLA Admissions Office! I have been working for UARS‘ Recruitment Unit for a week now, and it has been a great learning experience for me so far. Many students at UCLA (myself included) want nothing more than to get involved and, at the same time, take advantage…
Our (fabulous!) quarter system
You might be wondering what all those references to “10th week” were about. UCLA, along with almost all of the other UCs, sports a quarter system. We have four quarters (duh), one of which is summer that students don’t need to attend. All quarters are ten weeks long with a finals week tacked on to…
Bringing UCLA to Future Bruins
Today I was fortunate enough to do a presentation with my supervisor for high school students on the UC Personal Statement. As a Bruin Ambassador, I’m responsible for talking to prospective students and future Bruins about UCLA, applying to UCLA, and what it’s like to be a student at the best school in the world….
Welcome to Summer Session A!
It’s great to be back! Although campus seems a little empty for now, I blame it on the early morning and the fact that it’s the first day of summer session so not many people find the need to study in the library before classes have begun. I got to campus early to meet a…
Missing the Bruins
This week I resumed my old job of working in a law office for a family law attorney. I did this job for almost 4 years before leaving for UCLA and I was able to come back in the summer to do more work. The attorney I work for is a Bruin Alumni, both Undergrad…
To be or not to be. Is that the question?
To be or not to be, I just do not know. It is finally that time in my life when I must sit down and focus on the career paths in front of me. (Or so my parents and society tell me). However, I find myself at a bit of crossroad. I wish that I…
From dorms to apartments
The week between the end of spring quarter and the beginning of Summer Session A is always busy with students moving off campus to go home for the summer, or getting ready for other plans such as study abroad or internships (in LA and elsewhere). I am blogging from Vancouver where my family currently resides…
Senioritis…
Let’s take a look back over my time growing up and remember fondly the years that stood out amongst all the others. Oh 5th grade. What a wonderful wonderful time it was. Tallest in my grade meant that I was not only an all star basketball player, but add soccer and softball to the equation,…
Missing the Perks
Traveling and being home is a lot of fun for me. I adore visiting tourist attractions, relaxing, and spending time with family, but I miss the perks UCLA has to offer. When I am in Westwood I spend a lot of my time at the John Wooden Center, which is our on campus gym. All…
Recapping my Quarter
Wow, Spring Quarter flew by! I can say that I truly enjoyed my personal and educational experiences throughout the quarter. I took classes such as Sociology 133 (Collective Behavior), Soc 185 (American Society) and Soc 174 (Family). All three courses were challenging and enjoyable. I have to say my favorite was Soc 185, not only…
