Whether it's class, design teams, weekends, or just exploring LA - you'll find it here.
The stress, the worry, the feeling of not knowing exactly what you’ll be doing over the summer, all of it can become incredibly overwhelming. My sophomore spring has been jam-packed with midterms, projects, meetings, and filling out applications. All of the hustle and bustle of college life adds up, it’s important to realize when you need a break. My …
This past Sunday, I was finally able to attend my first reunion for Camp Kesem! I had a blast seeing all my campers again, and it was great being able to meet all their families as well. On the surface, Camp Kesem is a free-of-charge summer camp that is solely for children who have had a parent affected by cancer …
I definitely didn’t realize how much needs to happen before graduation. First of all, I can’t fail any of my classes which isn’t a major risk but HOW TERRIBLE would it be that I fail my first class in my last semester of college and then I don’t actually get to graduate. Then I have to plan senior pictures which …
Hey USC! Since my last few blogs have been pretty engineering focused, I wanted to take a break this week and focus on one of my favorite hobbies: photography. I’ve always been interested in photography, thanks to my dad, but I didn’t really get into it until freshman year of college. I finally got a DSLR of my own in 2015, and …
Hey guys! With summer quickly approaching, I wanted to dedicate a blog post to helping you guys figure out your summer plans. There are SO many options when it comes to summer, so I’m gonna go into a couple of the options and how USC helps you do whatever it is you want! Internship: A great way to get …
DAMN. That’s what I’m listening to right now. The Kendrick Lamar album? Haven’t heard of it? It’s new. And incredible. And it’s probably the third new album I’ve listed to in the last few days. No matter what I’m doing, there’s a good chance I’m listening to music. Whether I’m studying, longboarding around campus, or working out, I’m committed to …
hello hello! as we near the end of the semester (only 1 more month until finals!), I’m choosing my senior year courses, making plans for the summer, and trying to figure out what post-undergrad life is going to look like for me. Transitioning into the final chapter of my undergraduate years is bitter sweet, but I am so excited for …
Hello all! First off, here’s my song recommendation for this bi-weekly blog: Worthy by Jacob Banks My main involvement on campus is with the Environmental Core. This club, endearingly called “ecore”, is a student-run environmental activism group on campus. We try to make sustainable and impactful change on campus, be that through installing drought resistant plants, or working with USC’s …
What’s up guys? I know that admission letters went out last week, and I’ve already seen a bunch of people posting their #IGotIntoUSC pics and videos. They’re really fun to watch, and it takes me back to not too long ago when I did a victory lap around my house when I got in to my dream school. The neighbors …
..Ramen, boba, and good company. After a long week of midterms and papers (yes, engineers write papers!) it’s always fun to meet up with friends, especially ones you haven’t seen in a while. One of the things my friends and I like to do is get ramen, and one of our favorite places to go is Shin-Sen-Gumi, a pretty popular …
Hello everyone! I hope you are all feeling as relaxed and rested as I am after a week of Spring Break! If you haven’t yet had your Spring Break, hang in there and finish strong, and for those who are on break, enjoy every second of it. As for myself, I had a wonderful break as I spent most of …
Hey guys! My last blog was before spring break; I was super hyped about heading to DC for the NAE Grand Challenges competition and presenting the business plan my team and I created. Now that break and the competition are both over, I wanted to update you guys as to how it went! Here’s how the three days I spent …
Most schools have one. Some might have two. But it’s almost impossible to find a school that has all three disciplines that encapsulate things that move: Astronautical, Aerospace, and Mechanical Engineering. While the greater latitude in choice may afford more autonomy in your options, this scope of choice may also complicate things – a good bit. My goal will be (from …
Today was a great day. Today, in one of my classes, I had a really fun, valuable experience. The class is called Enterprise Wide Data Systems, or ITP-320. It’s a class that teaches us how to use SAP ERP, which stands for Systems, Applications and Processing, Enterprise Resource Management. The SAP system is commonly used in many companies, to integrate …
I wrote about the Min Family Social Entrepreneurship Competition earlier and I wanted to give you all an update on how we’re doing! Adam and I’s team, Lotus Cups, is officially in the final round! We’re so honored to be in this group with some pretty incredible teams with crazy awesome things they’re trying to accomplish. In the last month, …
This break, I spent the first weekend near Lake Tahoe with a bunch of my friends. We spent three days road tripping up from LA, hiking, watching scary movies, and just hanging out. Spring break comes right in the middle of the semester, so it’s a really nice break to have before or in the middle of midterms. I also went home …
Hi everyone! As the end of March approaches everyone is looking forward to the summer and the end of midterms/finals. I remember two years ago being a freshman and stressing out over what I was going to do over the summer. The big question thrown out there during this time of the year is “where are you working this summer?” It …
Hey guys! Hope you all had a restful and fun spring break! I know mine was packed full of fun times and amazing memories I can’t wait to share with you all! This year I, along with some of my friends, went to Mexico for spring break. We opted for Cabo San Lucas and stayed at the ME Cabo, and …
Hiking in LA is usually reduced to the Hollywood sign. While you must go at least once during your time at SC, those who know LA know that the Hollywood hike is hashtag basic. Recently, I ventured out of the cozy USC campus and headed to the beaches of Palos Verdes. My friend who is a Viterbi grad student at …
