Whether it's class, design teams, weekends, or just exploring LA - you'll find it here.
So this blog post is about my last semester at school! Over the past three years at USC, I have met so many amazing people and reflecting on my experience makes me emotional! Therefor I will write this post about the things I am looking forward to for this semester. This semester I decided to follow through with my New …
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday season, and are as excited as I am for the new year! It’s going to be a packed one, but at least I’m well rested from my time off. My break was really nice – I got to head home and spend some time with friends and family, and celebrate the …
Winter break in college offers something I know I will rarely find elsewhere: little to no responsibilities. I savored almost four weeks with no alarms, meetings, assignments, quizzes, exams, and (fewer) emails. The feeling of waking up and thinking what can I do today rather than what do I need to do today provided me with the respite I needed from …
Hey y’all! Happy New Year. It’s officially my last semester. I have very mixed emotions about this. Of course I will be sad to leave USC, but I am also ready to say I conquered my engineering degree (which I had countless doubts about conquering) and officially call myself an engineer. As a second semester senior, I can attest to …
Winter break was four weeks of binge-watching my favorite TV shows (Jane the Virgin and Greys Anatomy), suntanning on beautiful beaches, and catching up with family and friends. It was great time to recharge for the second semester! This spring, I am taking an electrical engineering course (EE 202) and a biomedical engineering course (BME 210). EE 202 is all …
We’ve only been back at school for one week but already time is just flying by! I’m so glad we had a month off from the hustle and bustle but I have to say I still missed it a lot. Over break, I had plenty of time to rest and catch up on my reading list. One of the best …
Though scientists say that tachyons are some of the only things in this universe to move faster than light, I’d offer that winter break for college students moves just as fast if not faster than these theorized particles. This momentary respite from the busy life of an engineering student at USC allowed me time to refocus, recharge, and relax. Keep …
Winter break was a great time to relax and unwind after a busy fall semester. Adjusting to the surprisingly cold Houston weather wasn’t the best welcoming gift – but it was a nice change from LA. Once I got home the first thing I did was sleep – the past week of finals hadn’t done my sleeping schedule any justice, …
(And as always tune into kxsc.org/listen Mondays at 1AM PST to hear me DJ) Spring semester is bringing in a lot of new and exciting things for me. I have a lot to look forward to like my classes, the projects I’m working on, club events, and making summer plans! This semester, I get to take some of the coolest …
Happy New Year everyone!! We’ve just begun our spring semester and I’m so excited to see where the year takes me. On the note of new things… I wanted to tell you all about my new internship for Summer 2019 at Microsoft!! Let me start at the beginning. During the Fall 2018 semester, I saw a few posts on our …
Right after finals last semester, I jet-setted off to Utah where I got to visit two national parks! I had never been to Utah before, and I’ve wanted to visit for as long as I can remember . I even let my boyfriend/personal photographer tag along! (He also studies mechanical engineering at USC…both beauty and brains, folks!) Our first day …
For my winter break, I went on a Birthright trip with USC Hillel to Israel. Growing up Jewish in Arkansas, I always knew that I wanted to get closer to G-d and discover the roots of my religion in the homeland. The trip most certainly did not disappoint. We started our trip in northern Israel for three days. While there, …
Being a student doesn’t always afford the most free time, even during times considered breaks. Many students choose to spend their sunshine-filled summers taking extra classes, doing research, or going away for internships. That’s why this winter break, I decided to seize the opportunity to broaden my global horizons by planning my first ever trip to Europe! In total I …
When you move across the country to go to school, winter break is one of the few times a year you can go home. For me, I am always busy during the summer so I basically don’t go home except for winter and spring break. That means I have to see all my family and friends in the three short …
I had been looking forward to winter break for the longest time. Thanksgiving break wasn’t too much of a break because I had massive projects due the following week, so most of my time was dedicated to that. As soon as I arrived back to my home in the Bay Area, I slept at a moderate time and woke up …
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Thanksgiving break is a much needed rest from classes and there’s just something special about coming back to campus getting ready for the holidays. It’s still amazing to me that this is my last fall semester here. Here are some random thoughts about how my semester was and things I learned! The …
With this semester coming to a close, I have a lot to be thankful for so I decided to take some time to reflect on my junior year so far. Here’s a list of just some of the things I’m particularly thankful for this year. 1. Oppertunities: I am so thankful for all of the oppertunities that I have had …
Hey guys! Thanksgiving break has been soo good to me. I truly needed a refresher from the routine of school, it was honestly wearing me down a lot. While this semester has been incredibly fun and memorable, senior year has come with its fair share of existential crises, really tough classes, constant caffeination, and many late nights. That being said, …
The year has flown by, and I can’t believe we only have one more week of classes left. This semester has been busy, exciting, fun, and undoubtedly the most challenging semester I have had yet USC. The reality is, of course, that engineering majors are difficult and time consuming (for most at least). Add research, work, and a few extracurriculars …
I am convinced that I am still in the month of August. What a whirlwind of a semester! There were so many amazing moments and a couple not so awesome moments, but overall I, once again, had the time of my life. Highlights: My housing situation for this year has been so amazing and better than I could have ever …
