An Amazing Year

Class of 2019, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffJuly 20, 2016

It has been an amazing year filled with late nights, good grades, and funny memories out with friends. I don’t think I can imagine my freshman year any different. College was, at the same time, what I expected and not what I expected. In the beginning, it didn’t really sink in that I was at…

Year One

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffJuly 15, 2015

This past year has flown by just as fast if not faster than my last semester of high school. I still cannot come to terms with the fact that my first year is already over and my second year is approaching. It is nerve wracking to think how quickly a year could pass by, let…

First Quarter

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffMarch 11, 2015

My first quarter at UCLA was somewhat challenging because I was really shy and hesitant to talk to anyone. I did not make connections around with people on campus and faculty members, which was a BIG mistake. Not making connections with students on campus, you do not know about the tricks around campus. Yes, tricks.…

New Quarter, New Challenges

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffMarch 11, 2015

In the midst of ending this quarter strong, I am faced with a struggle that most students deal with during their college career. Although I initially applied to UCLA as a pre-sociology major, I have not been following the pre-requisites for my respective major. Instead, I decided to be undeclared in order to follow a…

New Beginnings

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffMarch 11, 2015

Before entering the realm of higher education, I had the faintest idea of what college would be like. I knew that for the first time in my life, I was on my own. By choosing to attend the University of California, Los Angeles, I was given a new set of responsibilities, freedoms, and an unfamiliar…

Entering College

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffFebruary 10, 2015

The beginning of college was a great transition for me, knowing that I was moving to a completely new city. Not only because it was going to be a new and different environment but also because I was going to be seven hours away from my family, who have always supported me and cheered me…

Challenging first week

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

School has been a lot harder than I expected. I knew it was going to be hard but I didn’t think it would be this much. Currently I’m taking math 1, english comp 3, and sex: through biology and gendered society. The hardest thing is the workload all the classes give me, all the readings…

Learning How to Swim

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffOctober 28, 2014

After working hard my whole life to go to a prestigious University and waiting for what seemed to be forever throughout high school, it was the most surreal feeling when the day actually came. It was in a sense overwhelming, and I had no idea how to feel about it. I was happy of course,…

Transitioning Into College

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffOctober 9, 2014

The thought of college seemed exciting, however, as the date approaches, I found myself very nervous. As the first member in my family to attend college, I felt the amount of pressure weighing on my shoulders. I do not know what to think or how to feel when I think about college. Although the college…

UCLA: Week 3 done, 7 more to go!

Class of 2016, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffDecember 5, 2012

Transitioning from a four month long summer into college was tough. But now that I’m out of the transitional phase, living 6 hours away from home isn’t as daunting as I imagined. I thought I would be homesick by the second week, but I was wrong. Week 4 is approaching and I can confidently say…
