what do you want to be when you grow up?

okay there's like no activity going on here, so just for kicks...

1. what do you plan to major in?

2. what do you want to be when you grow up?


*note: major doesn't neccesarily correlate with future occupation =)

1. Physiological sciences or MCDB, haven't really decided yet.

2. Physician-infectious diseases, internal medicine, or emergency room...though the 'infectious' part of 'infectious diseases' is kind of scaring me away from that possibility

3. I'm adding a question-what clubs/groups do you plan on joining at UCLA?

I'm thinking one of the premed groups, Circle K maybe, and Intramural tennis providing it exists. Maybe some martial arts if I have time.

haha what kind of diseases do you think come through the ER all the time?
I advise against the premed groups, personally. They all seem to be full of the shallow resume-padding pre-meds that I have come to despise. Believe me, med schools could give a rip about premed clubs.

That being said, I'm already a student, but I'm answering anyway

1) Philosophy (go north campus!)

2) MD - specializing in Emergency Medicine, Trauma surgery, or cardiothoracic surgery (still thinking on this one, but I got time )

answer: history
2. what do you want to be when you grow up?
answer: history professor and a lawyer. I love to debate and LOVE to analyze historical facts. Also, for some reason, being a lawyer sounds exciting.

1. Biochemistry (and I'm NOT pre-med!)
2. I actually want to have my own research lab someday. I'd love to be able to coordinate a big research project in genetics and help out mankind somehow.

1. English, with a concentration in Creative Writing. Considering a double-major/minor in Philosophy.

2. A writer and a teacher (not high school or anything like that, but everything from teaching in third world nations to prison writing programs to tutoring and literacy projects in inner-cities to universities).

3. UCLA has a lot of tutoring and literacy projects I'm really excited about getting involved in, and anything that involves reading or writing or editing--I'll be there. I also want to do Education Abroad once or twice.

There's several pre-med groups out there. Circle K at UCLA is also really well-run; they received best chapter within CA-NV-HI district this year. And there is intramural tennis.

1. Undecided...but most likely English. I'd also like to double major in something in the Social sciences... Global studies maybe.
2. Also undecided, haha. But really, depends on how ambitious I feel. Less ambitious --> english teacher, journalism; more ambitious --> international affairs, or some sort of management.
3. A bible study (CC, IVF, Navs, GOC, AACF...?), lit mag or something else poetic, a theater group if I have time.
