UCLA Bucket List

As the end of winter quarter is quickly approaching, nostalgia begins to overwhelm the seniors. We all think about things we didn’t find time to do, things we weren’t aware of doing, things that are so essential in the Bruin experience that need to be accomplished before you graduate. For those seniors, here is a list for you to cross off the acts you have achieved and give notice that there are sixteen weeks left for you to complete the list. As for everyone else, the college experience goes by faster than you can imagine, so take this list and start!

  1. Climb the Bruin Bear and take a photo! 
    Everyone needs one before the graduate!
  2. Swim in the Inverted Fountain. 
    After you graduate; you don’t want to be stuck here an extra quarter.

    You don’t have to do it late at night, you can get an official tour. (Shh.. it’s a secret!)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
