Finals week is now underway and already UCLA students across campus have settled into “Finals Mode”. Finals mode includes an increase in studying, a decrease in sleep, excess coffee, and a more frequent use of libraries. In the midst of finals week craziness, it is important to take a moment to breathe and find our…

Studying and Keeping Sane
A large part of my time here at UCLA has been finding new and creative places to study. Some of my favorites include: The reading room at YRL The 5th floor of YRL The English Reading Room (a new find) The Sunken Gardens (when warm) Jimmy’s Coffeehouse Espresso Profetta (in Westwood) Starbucks (open until…
The Weirdest Week of the Quarter.
Finals week is crazy for so many reasons! It’s always been my least favorite week and my favorite week. Everyone is so sleep deprived and has no class that we all just end up having some of the best memories! It is not uncommon to go into a dorm study lounge at 3 in the…
We are going to finish this strong!!
Hey there Bruins!!! Can you believe that we are already in week 10!?!! Last week of the Fall quarter and that means next week is final week (I’m screaming -silently- just thinking about that) This quarter went super fast, and I mean super super fast. With the 4 classes, work, and lab research, this quarter…
Let the final battle begin!!!
Most students were doing one this weekend: studying. When I visited school to study on Saturday, the campus was so empty and quiet. This is probably because some students had begun to take their finals since last Saturday. One thing that I’m looking forward to is that my last final will be on Thursday, which…
The week where my sanity is being tested!

Mid-Term Marathon
I am happy to announce that I have just successfully completed my mid-term marathon! And by that, I mean that I have had 3 midterms in 3 days and it is finally over! This is without a doubt one of the craziest times in the quarter. Everyone is scrambling to find time to study and…
Managing Your Time
As midterms approach us, we are all balancing our social life with academics. Yesterday was Super Bowl day. Don’t get me wrong, but I’m not much of a football person. I don’t really like it. But between all the excitement and whatnot, I love the half time performances. Let me just tell you that Madonna…
Things I do before Finals…
Well this is week 10 which means finals are next week! So what are the things I do to prepare for finals? So much is going on…but I couldn’t be more excited. As a college student, you have multiple things going on at the same time. If it isn’t something it’s another thing. I have…
