  1. Freshman Year’s Memory Lane

    As I was pondering what to write about, I couldn’t help but think of how great my freshman year was.  This may be a little late, but here is my freshman year recap: For me, it felt like freshman year started in July.  On our admitted students Facebook page we decided to plan a group trip to Disneyland a month before fall move-in.  That day I met so many of...

    I cannot believe it’s already been 5 weeks since I left SC!  I am missing it terribly, of course, but so far summer is fantastic.  I’m spending my days interning at the Happiest Place on Earth, Disney World! Last year, I interned in the Environmental Engineering Department, which I loved.  I worked mostly on data collection and data analysis to discover ways to make the parks and resorts more energy...
  3. Hawaiian Vacations and LA Living

    So far, summer has been great. It started out with a month at home in Hawaii to do absolutely nothing. And that’s barely an exaggeration. I took my Hawaiian vacation seriously and got a lot of relaxation in. It was great to go home and see my family, pets and friends. My family was happy to have me back too. It was my brother and sisters last few weeks at...

    So far this summer, I have had the opportunity to do some travel abroad and nearby.  I spent the first two weeks of summer in South Korea with the Viterbi iPodia program.  This experience was really amazing; part of the class was getting to know students from China, Korea, Israel, and Germany, and it was awesome working with these students all semester and then finally getting to meet them!  My...

    Hey everyone! We are about a month into summer, but I am still reflecting on the last semester at USC, since I actually won’t be back until next spring. That second semester of my sophomore year was key for me in finding the right balance between my work at VARC, my research and my work as a VSA and with Trojan Alliance. It’s going to be so weird taking a...

    My summer got off to a great start! Very unexpected surprises but I am happy to be where I am at. When I accepted my offer to rejoin Northrop Grumman this summer as part of an Intern Rotation Program, I was expecting to work under a different directorate for the same Unmanned Combat Air Systems project for the X-47B. Last summer I worked on Software so I thought I would...

    Mid-step class, while I was going right instead of left, jumping instead of squatting, kicking instead of punching, I was spotted. Probably by everyone in the class for my lack of rhythm, but more importantly, by a USC alumna who was also taking the class. She noticed the USC shirt that I was wearing (probably second to noticing my lack of step skill), and approached me after class. We ended...

    This summer, instead of going home to Seattle, I decided to stay in LA. I’ve met a lot of USC students who are also staying here – some are taking summer classes, others are doing research, and a lot are doing internships like me. It’s my first summer in LA and I’ve only been here for two weeks and I already feel like I’ve been up to so much! Even...

    Freshman year was easily one of the most exciting years of my life. However, it was also the longest time I’ve ever spent away from my family.  Living 2,000 miles away from our home in Chicago, I only got to see them over a few major holidays.  My two brothers, Aaron and Elliott, have always been my best friends and we are all super close with my parents.  We definitely...

    As I sat in front of my computer screen pondering what to blog about, I realized that I could use a job. As I perused Twitter to overcome my writer’s block, I loved reading the tweets about neat internships at Disney and GE, and I wished I had taken advantage of similar opportunities. Before rushing to any unfair judgments about my work ethic, allow me to defend myself. I did...
