We have just finished 10th week at UCLA, which is a momentous occasion, especially given that it’s Spring Quarter. This means our next break is… SUMMER!! This is generally what pulls most Bruins through the last stretch of finals week. However, I was extremely lucky this quarter (unlike Winter Quarter) and all of my finals…
those are some WAC finals
Finals are currently the only thing on my mind. Most people assume that a final is a written test composed of multiple choice, short answers, or in class essays. However, in the World Arts and Cultures (WAC) department, professors measure a students knowledge differently. Our finals are often composed of reflection essays, projects, and physical…
Let Your Voice Be Heard
Last week was busy and filled with exams, projects, and papers. All of this stress has made it nearly impossible for me to get out of my study cave and get onto campus. The only time I was outside was when I was walking to and from class. As I walked through the sunken gardens at…
Sunny, Beautiful LA
Memorial Day weekend has come and gone. It ended on a beautiful day with beautiful weather. One of the best things I love about LA is the weather. Lately, it’s been nice and sunny. I returned today to UCLA after a 3-day stay at home. I have to admit that I missed UCLA a bit….
Wednesday Night Bliss
This past Wednesday, instead of getting all dressed up and heading over to the bars or apartments for a night out, I had the most wonderful night in with some of my closest friends. Most people would think that living in a house with 53 other girls would be a nightmare of drama and makeup…

Several were stop motion, many were comedy, and one told the story of boy and his car. Besides the films, the night also consisted of two panels. One panel featured four industry professionals. Two of them…
Music at UCLA

Road to Damascus and Bruin Harmony have already held theirs this past week, and there are many more exciting ones to come, including YOUTHphonics, Medleys, Random Voices, ScatterTones, and more. As a part of YOUTHphonics A Cappella, I understand…
Chancellor’s Reception
This past Wednesday, I was invited to attend a reception at Chancellor Gene Block’s residence on campus with my fellow Bruin Ambassador Coordinators. It was a reception for student leadership and contributions to the campus where Chancellor Block thanked all of us for our outstanding achievements and constant involvement. It was a great networking opportunity…
The Clothesline Project in Dickson Court
The Clothesline Project is a national project raising awareness against gender-based violence, particularly sexual violence against women. The chapter here at UCLA is a student-run organization, and this past week has hosted their annual three-day protest during which members hang t-shirts on with inscribed messages from survivors (or their significant others) of gender violence, the…
UCLA Alumni Day!
On May 21, 2011, me and my coworker/amazing friend Matt worked as part of Bruin Ambassadors UCLA Alumni Day on behalf of the Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools office. We were assigned to discuss UCLA majors and minors as well as freshman admission requirements with students who came with their Bruin family. It was…
