<p>So now that people are getting excited about going to UCLA, why don't current students share some of your actual experiences with us? Good ones, bad ones, boring ones, ones that show intellectual growth, social growth, or personal growth, random hilarious stories etc. Free for all.</p>
<p>Ermmm, I worked with James Franco in a lab this past tuesday. :P</p>
<p>Definately plenty but i'll give you a recent tidbit: Hiding in a campus restroom stall with a photographer to document sexual acts there and show the rest of the school (no, we didn't see any sex, but we got evidence fo sho)</p>
<p>Social growth?
I went to a frat party.
I was pretty bored.
I went home. I smelled like cigarettes and sin. :(
Never again.
I saw a cute guy in the dining hall. A week later I approached him and asked him out. We went for a walk randomly. I decided he was not compatible with me. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Intellectual growth?
I visit my history professor during office hours and during appointments so we can talk about American history, economics, various publications, etc. I love her. She is my surrogate mother and academic mentor.</p>
<p>Personal growth?
Any risks I've taken (socially, academically, ...).
I take a lot of initiative...</p>
<p>I've actually seen James Franco on campus.</p>
<p>DAWDGER- </p>
<p>NO. </p>
<p>I? I AM JEALOUS. </p>
<p>Not. </p>
<p>Fair.</p>
<p>Truth. He was in lecture the next day, too.</p>
<p>i am incomprehensibly jealous.</p>
<p>Didn't James Franco graduate already? hmm...Though wow, that'd be cool</p>
<p>He takes extension classes @ UCLA.</p>
<p>usc/ucla game.</p>
<p>I got to go to Japan (and abroad) for the first time thanks to UCLA and EAP.</p>
