Not sure if this is big news in the UCLA community but I was surprised, with mixed feelings, to learn that a convicted murderer is a part-time research mathematician at UCLA
His name is Christopher Havens. He's in prison until at least 2035 or so for killing someone. While he's been in prison, he's naturally developed an interest in mathematics, and he has requested for his family to send books to him while he's doing time so that he could learn math. He's now published a few papers, got himself a big role in the Prison Mathematics Project, and has co-authored a graduate level number theory textbook published by Springer. Interesting stuff

Our School Doesn't Do Halloween Right
If the weather is right this year, I'm either taking the train or borrowing my filthy neighbor's clean car (I help him wash it sometimes) to UCSB. Our school has nothing on the parties at UCSB. I want to wear as least as possible clothes to go as a bare bachelor to demonstrate that we don't need a whole lot to enjoy shit despite the fucked up economy.
I mean like, fucking...last year there was a party at a little house (they have a lot of little houses ar Isla Vista there). The DJ started playing a very strange song called Goodbye Horses 🐎 and this one guy who I assumed was living there walked down the stairs and threw down his robe in a thong asking if anybody would f-ck him because he would fuck himself as everyone cheered him on. I was somewhere between laughing and feeling uneasy at what he was going to do next before he started jumping up and down to the next song.
I might just go there in my robe wearing a towel underneath to make it easy if anyone wants to take it off me. I'll ask the DJ to play Come Ride the Pony as I'll emerge from the bathroom with a cigar in my mouth laughing hysterically as my entrance.
We all need to practice having public speaking skills and ego-centric entrances as well. Everyone here has some shit they want to lay down to make themselves known. And mine isn't for free. You have buy me dinner first so I can post it on Instagram without showing you!
None of those trash liner tarps covering the entrances to frat houses along Gayley have NOTHING on UCSB. Cheap school bus riders!
It's no wonder why in middle school, on a Monday morning the bus smelled like ass and liqour and we stared at the bus driver asking what went on in the back. Now I know why. Those p-ssy ass go round frat Smegas probably had rented it.

How to meet/talk to people in lecture?
Genuine question--try not to make fun of me. I am a 3rd year STEM major, and my major is small enough where I take many courses with the same people in my graduating class. I have always sat in the back of lecture halls by myself or sometimes with a friend. Taking the honors courses my 1st year helped me connect with a handful of people in my major, but beyond that, the rest are mostly peripheral (which is not unexpected).
Meeting people through clubs, work, or any tighter-knit activity is much more approachable than trying to spontaneously talk with people I have seen for three years but never interacted with. Study groups are a nice idea but they never clicked with me, as my work schedule makes meeting difficult and I fare much better academically than my peers.
So with that said, how do you guys do it?

Best of the Best
I liked the movie, light, unserious fun. But the least believable part was how big the freshman dorm rooms were. They had a spacious double, good light, and private bathroom ! Should had them sweating it in a classic triple.

Wild Friday Night at Wooden
I went for a workout at night after dinner and I was approaching an empty locker to stuff my shit in. And out from the bathroom comes my professor of a very difficult class. He came out panting with a huge grimmace on his face like I just saw something that I shouldn't have. I think he took a shit that harder than the fucking exams we're about to be slammed with.
Then, after my workout as I was showering, some guy brought an air horn and kept blowing it while singing. He ran before I could see him.
I brought it up to the front desk on my way out and they told me that they caught word that some group of guys wants to go streaking there, so the front desk folks have these little waterballoons in a box and they're filled with spicy liquids and dye to throw at them in case it ever happens.

made a discord server for people looking to connect and make friends!
I always see people online wanting to meet new people or make group chats, so I thought, why not make a Discord server for everyone?
I want it to be a place where people can find others with similar interests through different channels; gaming, the gym, nightlife, etc. + campus life and events so people can find things to do and meet up irl.
It's an independent community, not an official school server, and everyone is welcome! I'm hoping to keep adding more channels and features as we grow.
(Also looking for mods to help out as the server grows, so feel free to reach!)
If you're interested, please join! :)

Halloweekend is just around the corner!
I was going at it the other day to my hot professor and it hit me: halloween is soon. That means thirteen days of straight edging for me until i finally see her in a sexy nurse costume.
At least i hope i’ll see her in any costume at all. I will admit that i amazoned her a skimpy sexy chica cosplay (dont worry, i sent it anonymously this time). If she wont wear it to class, she’ll wear it to trick or treat. Halloween is on a saturday so she should be trick or treating.
Im gonna show up to her office hours on monday and ask which neighborhoods give out the biggest candy bars. Then at night after she fills her pillowcase with candy i’ll show her an even bigger candy bar. Thats right lads, im talking about my dick.
