Describe your college experience
Coming from a small high school to one of the largest public schools in the country was daunting at first but those fears quickly went away. I've met some of the kindest, smartest, and funniest people I've ever met right here at UCLA. The student body as well as the resources available to us as UCLA students has made my college experience truly amazing.
Tip for future students
My best advice for future students is to get involved in clubs and organizations outside of the classroom that you are genuinely passionate about. College is a time to prepare for your career as well as a time to grow into the person that you want to be. And at UCLA, we have such a large, vibrant club culture here that it is the best way to meet new people and make friends.
Favorite class
My favorite class at UCLA has been a class titled Anthropology 149: Anthropology of Violence. It is not related to my major (I only took it to fulfill a GE requirement) but it ended up blowing me away. It was so cool to look at a topic like global violence from a completely different perspective from my major (political science) and I will cherish the learning environment in that classroom forever.
Career goals
My current goal is to go to law school after graduating UCLA to eventually go into entertainment law.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Take the bus and go to the movies with my friends or make music!
