So I decided to finally write a blog tackling the monster of career fairs. For most college students the career fair is the most dreaded, but most important days of the semester. Often characterized by long lines and defeated faces, the career fair can be a very positive experience if you know what you’re doing. As an old guy who …
Hey y’all! We’re back at school for the Spring semester, and my last semester as an undergrad at SC! It’s crazy to think how fast the past 3 1/2 years have flown by, but I like to think that I’ve been able to gain some good insights. So in this blog I’m going to tell some of the best ways …
Hey y’all, today I figured I’d take some time to give some insight into a pretty big question a lot of BME students have at some point while at USC: do I need an emphasis? The BME department offers you the ability to add an emphasis in your studies, which essentially gives you the chance to focus your degree in …
Hey Everyone! It’s been a little while since I’ve posted my last blog so I figured I’d come right back at ya with quite possibly my favorite thing about going to USC: football season. Now it’s been a rough start to what we already knew would be a very tough year for the Trojan Football team, but after last night’s …
Hey Everyone! Happy New (School) Year! Today marks the last first day of school for my undergraduate career, and it pains me to say that. The past three years have been amazing in so many ways, and I am excited to make my Senior year the best one yet! Moving back in has been crazy busy and things are only …
First off I wanna say that no two days are really alike at an internship, just as I tell everyone no two days are alike as a college student. Much to my surprise the work I’ve done as an intern has been very dynamic and exciting, and it’s been a great experience. That being said, I’ll give you a little …
And we’re back! Hope everyone has been enjoying their summer so far. It’s been a busy two months for me as I moved across the country to Northern Virginia for my summer internship. I am currently a Quality Control Intern with K2M, a spinal medical device company that creates innovative solutions for spinal deformities and other degenerative spine diseases. As …
And just like that, another year of college is coming to an end. It’s crazy to think that in a week and a half I will be finished with my Junior year of college, and be that much closer to graduation and becoming a “real person”. It’s been a crazy year filled with a lot of late night study sessions, …
Choosing where you will attend college is perhaps the most important decision you will make during the first 18 years of your life. What part of the world will you study in? What degree programs does the school offer? How can I get involved on campus? Will I actually enjoy my four years there? All of these questions are all-too-real, …
Hey y’all! Hope your semester is going well and that you are almost ready to make your big college decision! After choosing where you will attend, the next big decision you have to make is where you will live freshman year. At USC you are required to live on campus as a freshman, but don’t worry because it is honestly …
Hey y’all! After finishing up Spring Break last week it’s time to get back into the swing of things. I spent a nice relaxing week in San Diego taking in the great weather and beaches, and I feel refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the semester. Today I wanted to talk about one of the coolest experiences I’ve …
Hey everyone, hope you March is off to a good start and that your weather is starting to warm up! Things are in full swing on campus with admitted student events, scholarship interviews, and normal day-t0-day shenanigans, so naturally I’ve been crazy busy, but still enjoying every bit of it. As I’m moving further into my USC “career” it’s been …
Hey y’all, it’s week 6 of Spring semester and things are starting to speed up in pace, especially class. While taking 16 units of hard science and engineering seemed super intimidating at the beginning of the semester, so far I am really enjoying my work load and I am learning some very applicable skills! Out of the 5 classes I …
Hey y’all! Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm! It’s unseasonably chilly here in LA, and with temps in the high 40’s and windy conditions, it’s safe to say that the Coldpocalypse is among us. Even with the weather this scary, campus is still a beautiful place to hangout/study/eat/procrastinate/you name it. If you’ve been on a campus tour you …
Welcome back everyone! It’s time to get going with Spring semester and all of the fun (and homework) that comes along with the new year! First off, Winter Break was awesome. Phoenix was unseasonably “cold”, so naturally I was enjoying the 45-50 degree weather, and I was able to relax while also getting some work done. Over the three weeks …
Hey everyone, the semester is winding down and finals are right around the corner, so it’s only natural to procrastinate by remembering all of the awesome things I got to do this semester before posting up in the library for the next week and a half. Junior year has been challenging, but I’ve also had the opportunities to make it …
Happy Friday everyone! I know application season is in full swing and everyone is trying to choose where to apply and starting to narrow down your top choices. While a lot of focus is on the academic programs you will be involved in, I figured I’d give you some more insight on what sets USC apart from other top-notch …
Hey everyone! Since I last posted the Trojans lost a heartbreaker in South Bend, but also beat the #3 ranked Utes to get back on track for the rest of the season. Everyone and their mothers are headed up to Berkeley this weekend for the annual Weekender trip, but I’ll be enjoying a much-needed relaxing weekend here in LA. Since I …
Hey everyone! I’m currently sitting in LAX with my dad waiting for our flight to South Bend to see the Trojans take on Notre Dame tomorrow night! I’m beyond pumped for this weekend, but as I look around the terminal I get really sad that there are no reasonably priced, good-tasting food options here. However, food is the least of …
Hey everyone, it’s been an eventful two weeks since I last posted. Midterms have been coming at me hard, but I got to have a little escape from school by visiting home last weekend. A bunch of friends and I made the 6 hour drive to Phoenix to hang out with my family and head down to Tempe for the …
