It is hard to believe that I am entering my last year as a UCLA undergraduate. While a year sounds like ample time I know it will fly by! Zero week is always one of the most exciting times for UCLA students. There are a huge amount of activities to choose from the widely anticipated…

Zero Week!
Balloons everywhere, flyers left, right, and sideways, herd of new students, Greek shirts…it must be ZERO WEEK. I cannot believe the start of the school year is already here. It seems like just yesterday campus cleared out for summer vacation. I still vividly remember my first Zero Week as a Freshman at UCLA. I…
Zero Week: no longer a Fall phenomenon!
Some of you may love the Fall quarter especially for its Week 0 (“zero week”) on top of the football season and great weather (it was 80ºF/26ºC this past weekend!), but luckily for us, this year we will have Week 0’s for all of our quarters. I love Week 0 because that’s when everyone is…
Bruins at the LA County Fair

Studying for college courses can be very different, depending on how well you studied in high school. Professors don’t just…

The fair took place in Royce Quad and Wilson Plaza, in which thousands of students congregated to find out more about organizations they can get involved with. It…
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…
10th Week = Finals Week
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…
