About Me


I'm an acquired taste.
Spring is here at UCLA and with that comes a new quarter. I'm trying to make the most of it, but its hard to want to be in class when the sun is shining and my pool is so temping. In addition to my double load of American Lit classes, I've had my arm twisted into being a part of 5 choruses on campus....I just can't say no. I now also work for the music department. It makes sense that I should get paid for how much time I spend there! Anyway, I love every minute of it and I'm getting in on the administrative side of planning an amazing tour in China for next year even though I'll be an alum by then! You can find me in Westwood during the week -- either in class, at starbucks, or making mischief with the girls -- and as for the weekends, I'm always in HB or elsewhere. Tentatively planned for the next few months: Dallas, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Palm Springs, Maryland, and Chicago (again?)....
Other than that, I'm up to my normal bag of tricks...excelling in changing colleges, switching majors, singing in my car, searching for the perfect pair of jeans, reading a book a day, spending too much time at my pool/the beach, doing as much for others as physically possible, painting the town red with Avery in the Prius, and maintaining a constant personal state of confusion.
*Favorite Quote*
Big: After a while, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh.
