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 …
Hello friends! To start things off, my song recommendation: Shot Down by Khalid I hope y’all are doing well! On Tuesday, the Environmental Core did a food waste audit for a dining hall on campus. What’s the point of a food waste audit? We want to find out how much food students throw away a day, especially in terms of …
It’s no secret that minorities are underrepresented in STEM fields, and as a black female it’s not often that I look around a classroom and see anyone else who looks like me. I was shocked and left in awe this past semester when I stumbled across this movie trailer on Facebook. If you didn’t catch the trailer, Hidden Figures tells …
My favorite involvement at USC has by far been LavaLab. LavaLab is a entrepreneurial organization on campus that puts together teams made up of engineers, designers, and business students that create a product over the course of a semester. My first semester in LavaLab was Spring 2016, where I created a product called MentorMe, which was a way to link college students …
Opening an email letting you know you’ve been accepted into the organization you’ve been waiting to hear from is one of the most exciting feelings. I experienced that excitement last Tuesday when I opened the email decisions for USC Troy Camp. Troy Camp is an incredible organization that works with local elementary schools and kids in the nearby communities. I …
Hello everyone! Thanks for tuning into my blog today. I’m finally coming to you from USC to tell you about my summer after returning from studying abroad. When I landed back in Seattle I spent 2 weeks catching up with my family and friends, sharing stories, and planing a road trip from Seattle to USC. After some extensive research and …
At the start of my freshman year, I had a lot of goals. To name a few: get good grades, eat my way through Los Angeles food trucks, and try to remember to call my mom every once in a while. I also made a promise to my best friend: I would learn to box. You see, my best friend Andrew and …
I love math and physics, which is good, because that’s what mechanical engineering is. But I also love the environment. As I was applying to colleges, I knew I wanted to go to a university that let me explore my passion for sustainability with my adoration for nuts, bolts, and gears. As I surveyed my options, I realized that USC …
The time has finally come, it is only 8 more days until graduation! That is so scary to think about. Time really does fly when you are having fun, and the last 4 years here at USC have gone by so fast. It truly feels like I just started college yesterday. With graduation just around the corner, I can’t help but …
With only two weeks left of classes, and a little less than a month until graduation it is crazy to think that my time at USC is almost over! It felt like just yesterday I was moving into Pardee Tower for my freshmen year, and just before that I was a high schooler trying to figure out where I wanted …
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! Thanksgiving is just around the long, midterm filled corner, and I wanted to take some time to talk about giving back to the local community. One thing that always stood out about USC for me when I was picking colleges was the relationship it fostered with the local community. Since coming here, I’ve gotten involved with several different …
Hey Everyone! I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween and are just as excited as me for November! Starting November means the semester is halfway done, the weather starts to get colder (which I love), and the UCLA game is approaching, woo! Being right in the middle of the semester, it can be pretty easy to focus just on engineering. Although …
One of my favorite activities to do on campus is to draw for the Daily Trojan, the University Newspaper. It’s really exciting to be part of a daily production. Working in an environment where it’s super important to ensure that a publication is put in each stand on campus at the break of dawn every single day is a great …
All the wonderful academic clubs and organizations on campus are exciting ways to become more involved in any area of your interest. However, sometimes it’s nice to completely break out of whatever shell you’re normally constrained to, and participate in other organizations that are completely out of the norm for your everyday life. For me, this is the Club Tennis …
Hey guys, This week I wanted to talk about one of the places on campus that I spend the most time at… the Blackstone LaunchPad! Seriously though, people joke that it is my actual home. I love being in the space because it’s one of the most inviting places to get work done and work with a bunch of different …
In my four years on USC’s campus I’ve parsed through my fair share of activities. I’ve bopped from playing on the Rugby team with a group of fantastic guys, to the Joint Educational Project (JEP) with some of the most philanthropic students on campus, and even helped start up a flying club with some friends. I wish I had limitless …
Hi everyone! So it is finally midterm season and everything is starting to fall into place for the semester here at SC. Most, if not all, organizations on campus are in full swing so I wanted to talk about my favorite organization within Viterbi. There are a ton of different organizations in Viterbi ranging from professional societies to different design …
My sophomore year is finally here! The past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic but I am so glad to be getting back into the swing of things here at SC. To round off the summer I continued to work in a research lab here on campus, went to Venice beach for the first time, and I finished off …
