I know I have mentioned this one too many times, but it seems to be a topic of discussion that I can’t help but to gush about. BRUIN PRIDE! I have spent three full years here at UCLA and am about to be finishing up my fourth and final year in just a couple quarters….

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…
Starting My Last Year as an Undergrad
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. To begin, I am not very coordinated and even though I have a great memory, the Eight clap is somewhat difficult for me so I’m putting together this guide…
UCLA Spotted: “University of Farmers” commercial

Expressing Who You Are
One of the biggest perks about being part of the UCLA community is being able to express who you are. When deciding which college to attend, I wanted to make sure that I was going to be able to openly express who I am and make an impact with my talents. I wanted to make…
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…
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,…
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…
