Summer Is Almost Here!
Wow time flies!!! I can’t believe graduation is in 3 days!! Even though I am super excited about graduating, I have to admit, it is a little sad to think back on all the great memories I have made here at USC and realize that my college career is coming to an end.

Summer 2012: Studying Abroad in Madrid!
This summer I am very excited to say that I will be studying abroad in Madrid, Spain with the Viterbi Overseas Program! I will spend 7 weeks in this amazing Spanish city taking classes with Viterbi faculty and roughly 30 fellow Viterbi students, including fellow VSA Gavin. I’ve only been overseas once before, and that was a school trip to Southern Spain; I am very excited to take wonderful classes... -
My Summer Plans
I can’t believe how fast this semester has gone by. It seems like only a few weeks ago I was moving into my new apartment for my RA position. The beginning of my summer is going to be super busy. First, after getting approval and making some adjustments to my finals schedule, I’m actually leaving a week early to go to Taiwan for my Engineering iPodia class. We’ll be in Taiwan for two... -

It’s definitely a bittersweet time — I’ve enjoyed my time at USC so much that I’m sad to be leaving, but at the same time I’m excited about where I am headed and I’m ready to move... -
Summertime Activities!
It seems just like yesterday I was figuring out what I was going to do this semester and deciding whether or not to buy Coachella tickets. Now, as I sit here writing the last blog of the year looking ahead to my summer plans, I am amazed as to how fast this semester flew by. Well, I’m not there quite yet. I have two finals left, a paper, and a project BUT... -
