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…

A Guide to the Eight Clap
There is one thing that all bruins, aspiring bruins, and bruin lovers must know and that one thing is the famous Eight Clap. It’s serious business.

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…

Finals Week at UCLA
A week before finals week, I unfortunately got sick with Strep throat. That same week I had two papers do, a project, and also a final (back to back days). So I had to deal with deadlines and sickness all at the same time. Thankfully for me though, I had almost finished with all of…

One of my favorites is the Midnight Yell that takes place throughout every finals week, starting Sunday. This is the week at the end of each quarter during which students are feeling pressured and apprehensive about…
