I drank chocolate milk at my first Daily Bruin party. Yes, I know how that sounds. Imagine someone trying to act cool with a red Solo cup filled with rich, silky chocolate milk. Read more...

The Daily Bruin allowed me to discover the virtue in vulnerability -30-
I am searching for the place where these past four years have disappeared to. As I stare at my commencement tickets, I’m speechless, unable to articulate the scale and depth of how much these past four whirlwind years mean to me. Read more...

Avvalzameer Bhatia: UCLA must better inform professors about BruinCast, equip more rooms
BruinCast is perhaps the third-greatest invention of mankind, inferior only to the smartphone and Wi-Fi – at least for UCLA students. Fall quarter enrollment is fast approaching, and students will soon begin consulting everything from professors’ Bruinwalk.com ratings to MyUCLA’s class availability to craft the optimal schedule.

Jonathan Friedland: Fewer stops would increase Santa Monica Big Blue Bus ridership

When students have the option of saving time while paying slightly more for an UberPool, it’s no wonder Santa Monica Big Blue Bus ridership has dropped 12 percent in the last fiscal year.

Scott Bays: CSO van service can increase publicity through direct link on MyUCLA
UCLA students have “a safe means of transportation around campus during the evening hours.” They probably don’t know about it, though. The Community Service Officer Evening Van Service is a free ride service that provides UCLA students a safe way to get to the Hill and Westwood apartments between 6 and 11 p.m. Read more...
