It has always been my dream to study abroad, specifically be a Bruin someday. I was quite obsessed with UCLA for awhile— I researched about the history of UCLA, the tuition fee, the scholarships, and how to get in. I watched UCLA move in day vlogs, until I saw myself looking at one youtuber that was really true to herself and showed great portrayal of an ideal college student.

Her name is Cindy Thai, a 21 year-old beauty guru and a daily vlogger, originally from Las Vegas. She vlogs her daily experiences at UCLA, like her Bruin Day, move in day, and of course, DINING HALL FOOD!!! (The dining hall food looks so good in the vlogs, I swear!)

How can I say that she portrays an ideal college student? For one, she also shows herself ranting about homework, midterm, and finals in the vlogs, just like when she stayed up for 2 days i think, studying for her international law class. She shows the reality of college—that there really are tough times like exams. Thus, she is really committed to daily vlogging. She tries her best to edit and upload the vlogs, which for me, is a really hard thing to do, most especially when you have to do schoolwork.

Another thing that I like about her is that she takes her vlog camera with her and captures as many moments as she can. She takes the infinities everywhere with her. It's like I am in the United States. It's like I am in LA. It's like I am in UCLA.

Practically speaking, I know that I have 0.1% chance of going to UCLA, but at least through her vlogs, I feel like I am at UCLA and living the dream!

P.S. I started listening to Yellow Claw because of Cindy! Hahaha
