  1. What to do if you’re sick: The Health Center

    This week I had the great misfortune of catching a terrible case of strep throat. I felt fine Monday, but when I woke up Tuesday morning it felt like I had been hit by a truck and swallowed a torch unsuccessfully. I was in dire straights, as many students get into sometimes, but the Health Center on campus does a great job of taking care of the students. I called...

    This past Wednesday, me and my committee of 5 other women engineers who comprise the Corporate Affairs Committee of the Society of Women Engineers put on the biggest event of the year for our club, Evening with Industry. The event was held at Town and Gown.\ We spent weeks preparing for this event, booking the location, signing contacts, registering 16 companies and over 100 students, putting together a meal plan,...

    One of the fun classes I’m taking as a Senior is Nautical Science 002, aka Sailing Class. For the last few weeks we’ve learned about boat basics, such how to identify different types of boats and what all the different ropes and sails on boats are used for. Learning about boats in the classroom is OK, but in order to really see how it all works, we had class this...
  4. Senior Year Adventures in Physical Education

    One of my favorite things about studying engineering at USC is that there are almost always a few units left over each semester to try some fun classes. I’ve taken music classes, dance classes, sailing… but I’ve never taken anything in the PE department. Since this is my last semester and I will likely be joining the sedentary work force next year, I thought it would be fun to dabble...
  5. More Reasons to Love LA

    It’s almost impossible to run out of things to appreciate about LA because every now and then, I stumble upon a hidden gem, a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with the best food, or a unique experience I know I won’t find anywhere else. In my four years living in LA, never once did I believe I’ve seen all there is to see about this bustling city… because I never will! There’s just...

    Howdy Folks!     It certainly has been a great month for the stock markets in January so far! Let’s hope that keeps going! Well at any rate, for those of you who watched the Super Bowl today, was it just me, or did the commercials really not live up to all their hype? I have no memorable commercials for the 2012 Super Bowl, and I can already think of...
  7. Contagion (the movie)

      This weekend I watched Contagion. It was surprisingly scary but intriguing at the same time. The whole film is about an unidentified virus that quickly turns into an epidemic. The CDC, W.H.O., etc work furiously to figure out where the virus started and to find a vaccine while everyone else panics. People start going crazy, committing crimes and rioting. The reason it was scary was because it seemed very...

    So it has finally come and gone.  We (the corporate affairs committee for SWE) have been working on this event all year.  Evening with Industry (EWI) is a formal dinner networking event for SWE members to talk to recruiters.  Each member gets to sit with two companies, one for dinner and one for dessert.  In preparation we had to go downtown to the flower district to buy flowers for the...

    I haven’t had the wildest or most interesting social life this week because of sorority, work, and school commitments. The fourth week of school is always kind of like this! Your homework assignments are due and you have to start thinking about your post-semester plans and applications. I had an amazing experience at Viterbi Industry Networking Event, aka VINE on Tuesday, which reminded me of Sorority Recruitment times The Viterbi Career...
  10. Tuesday Market, mmm mmm Good :)

    My favorite part of Tuesdays, (besides my two labs which came in a close second) is the Tuesday market! This is the only day of the week where local vendors come and sell items across from the University Village, just off campus. Setting up between the USC Hillel and the 32nd Street School (between campus and the row), the vendors sell everything from coffee and crepes, to jewelry and music....
