Women in Engineering

When I first started considering engineering, I remember a few different people being surprised at my choice, remarking that there weren’t too many female engineers. Although this seemed like a big deal to those people while they were telling me, I didn’t think much about it. To me it seemed like just another stereotype — probably based on past truths, but not the rule and definitely not reflective of me....

My Freshman Dorm: Birnkrant

Freshman housing at USC is unbeatable. All of my hall mates became my closest friends throughout my freshman year. We ate together at EVK (shout out waffles, froyo machine, outside grill, Chicken Nugget Tuesday), went on midnight snack runs to Tro Gro (shout out Trojan Plan), and there was always someone there to distract you from boredom. Though our RA (Resident Advisor) planned some activities for us like dinner...

My Freshmen Dorm: Birnkrant

Freshmen year I lived in Birnkrant Residence Hall, and in my opinion, it’s definitely the best dorm on campus! Birnkrant (or BK lounge as I liked to call it) has traditional style coed dorms with common bathrooms on each floor. The majority of rooms are doubles, but there are also singles and triples that offer even more space and storage than the average double dorm room. I lived in one...

Epic Adventure… Philanthropic Endeavor. I don’t know how else to describe Dance Marathon. It’s the greatest 12-hour-long, dance-party-themed philanthropy at USC! Last Saturday, we raised over $60K benefitting Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Children’s Miracle Network. It takes all year to plan the event and fund-raise, but on Feb. 25th we finally get to celebrate. For 12 hours, we dance, dance, and dance, to symbolically stand up for the kids who can’t. After...

Three Day Weekend In Tahoe!

Online shopping makes me nervous. I like to try on what I buy, see it in the store, inspect it before its mine forever and I dont like shipping fees. But, as sites like LivingSocial and Groupon gain monumental popularity, I must admit I have started falling in love. I have gotten to try a handful of local LA restaurants that I would never have known about, treated myself to a...

I’m A Diva! (best believe-a)!

For the past 3 years, I’ve sung in either USC Concert Choir or USC Chamber Singers, and its been a blast! Although I’m not a great sight reader and I’m terrible at learning difficult rythyms, I do have the dubious talent of being able to sing extremely high. In fact, my only solos for these ensembles have been basically to sustain some note up in the stratosphere. Otherwise, I am...

I’ve been away from my parents for too long, homesickness started to consume me and so I called my parents down for the weekend! Ever since I left for USC after senior year, I have not been back home for more than a week. During winter break of Freshman year, I went to India directly from LA, alone to visit my uncle/grandparents and then directly returned to LA. I stayed...

Academic Advising and Blink 182 at the Hollywood Bowl

Okay, from the title of this blog, you’re probably wondering how these two topics could possibly be related, and in all honestly they aren’t! But they are two fun things I got to do this week, between class projects, the Viterbi Career Fair and everything else I’m up to. On Thursday I met with my Academic Advisor, Chris Noll, who advises all the sophomore, junior and senior BME students. Here...

This post is hereafter dedicated towards a great video game (that comes out tomorrow) known as NBA 2K12. For those of you who don’t know, here’s a good analogy — NBA 2K12 : NBA :: Madden : NFL. You can also check out more on 2k here. This year comes a fresh installment to an awesome series. I love playing NBA games as 1) they are shorter than Madden; 2)...

Recap: A Month into School Already?!

It’s crazy to sit here and think that we are somehow already a month into the school year! Homework and midterms are finally starting to pick up and I have settled into a routine for another semester here at USC. Already this semester though I have had so much fun beyond just school. Considering it’s my Senior year I find having fun totally acceptable. Just a few of the things...
