Opinion: Going to UCLA is stressful. Going to the gym shouldn’t be. - Daily Bruin

April 5, 2026, was the proudest I have ever felt as a Bruin. Our women’s basketball team beat the South Carolina Gamecocks 79-51 in the NCAA championship.

A hidden oasis on the outskirts of campus known as “Narnia” is a popular spot for UCLA students to hangout with friends, take a walk or, much like the name suggests, feel transported to a quiet and magical place away from the bustling bubble of Los Angeles.
