Hey there! I'm Ben. I'm 22 years old and senior at UCLA majoring in anthropology. I come from a pretty diverse background: My mom's side is of Russian Jewish descent and my dad's side is Mexican (with Mexica and Tarahumara blood) . I'm openly gay, in love with an amazing man, in a fraternity- Delta Lambda Phi Gamma Chapter. and love chocolate. I'm a huge nerd and proud Japanophile. I work a lot with the Native American community and will be going to grad school studying Native culture. I love getting messages in my ask box so feel free to hit me up!

Here are my photos from the 5th Annual Pride Prom. Here’s the info from the event-

The Brothers of Delta Lambda Phi Gamma Chapter Present:
5th Annual Pride Prom- Down The Rabbit Hole: A Masquerade Madness

Pride Prom is a second chance prom for queer students and their allies to bring whomever they want regardless of sexual orientation or ethnic background.

Proceeds benefited the non-profit organization Straight But Not Narrow (SBNN). SBNN is dedicated to raising awareness of being an ally in the young straight demographic and positively influence their views on LGBT teens.

Don’t forget to ‘Like’ the Gamma Chapter on Facebook to see the rest of the photos and for updates on future events like Pride Prom!

And please reblog this post because 1) That mask was really hard to make and I’m proud of it; and 2) To spread the word about this awesome event. ;)

See Team Navy (and me) do the Harlem Shake for UCLA Greek Week!!! We get points for views so please watch it my followers!!! :)

Are you a male attending UCLA? Interested in joining a fraternity? Then come to Delta Lambda Phi’s Winter Rush: Post-Apocalyptic Survival!

We are a fraternity created by gay men for ALL men. These are our founding principles:

-To develop dignified and purposeful social, service, and recreational activities for progressive men, irrespective of sexual orientation;
-To lead in determining the rights and privileges of individuals in society; and,
-To present a strong and positive image which respects the diversity of all individuals, irrespective of sexual orientation.

HOLY CRAP…the universe is suddenly on my side and it looks like I’ll be able to finish my application to teach in Japan for a year on time.

I’m distrustful of how well this is going (0)____(0)

does anyone else ever get really stressed over assignments and know that you should be doing them but you feel like you physically can’t stop procrastinating and that just stresses you out even more or is that just me

That’s literally what’s happening to me at this moment. Fuck.

Ok so…

I know it’s just after 7 and most of my followers won’t care, but I have to talk about this. It’s been raining all day so it hasn’t been the warmest. I just realized that I have an online assignment due and so instead of heading home I decided to go into the UCLA library. I’m an easily distractible person so I haven’t studied a lot here. But it’s empty and it’s soooo warm and cozy. I feel like I’m studying in Hogwarts. :3 Life = complete.

To whoever stopped and read my nerdy moment, thank you :)

UPDATE: I just found the Harry Potter soundtrack on my ipod. This. Is. Happening.
