This past friday was my a cappella group’s annual holiday concert, and it was such a success! We sang a few holiday songs as well as some old Troy Tones favorites. The concert was in the United University Church, and it was all decorated for Christmas, which really put us all in the holiday spirit. As always, we were decked …
Semi-Charmed Life
One fun part of the USC tradition is our rivalry with UCLA. The week leading up to the UCLA football game is always so much fun, and I think Conquest was definitely the highlight of the week’s activities. On Thursday night, McCarthy Quad turns into a huge pep rally. The USC Song Girls and dance team performed as students gathered …
Best Times at USC (so far)
While I’m sure my blog can’t capture the essence of my best times at USC, I’d still like to take a moment to reminisce about the highlights from my first days at ‘SC in 2008 until today, as we approach the end of 2010. 2008: Exploring the ins and outs of campus with my freshman year roomies, meeting fellow residents …
Wong Fu Productions is Coming to USC!
Last year my roommate introduced me to Wong Fu short films. Wong Fu Productions is an independent production company that’s run by three guys in their 20’s. They started Wong Fu while in college at UCSD. Wong Fu produces short films, video blogs, collaborates with artists to make music videos, and more. Wong Fu also does nationwide tours to different …
HARD Haunted Halloween
On Saturday, as both an early Christmas gift to myself (because it’s expensive) and to go and enjoy myself with some friends, I headed to HARD Haunted Halloween (see some of what it’s about online here). I’m not a huge fan of Electronica and had never been to a rave so I really didn’t know what to expect… and, after …
Sweet Disposition
One of my favorite things about living in LA is being able to go to some amazing concerts. In the past two years I’ve gone to concerts on campus, in the LA area, and even out in the desert at Coachella. This past weekend a friend had an extra ticket to The Temper Trap, and I had so much fun …
USC Engineering: Outside the Classroom
Most people have very skewed perceptions of what the life an engineering major is really like. They assume that we work hard all day and all night long and have little time to enjoy ourselves as a college student should. While the former is somewhat true, the latter could not be more false. Over the past year at USC, I’ve …
Midterm Season
Apparently it’s that time of year again. I have no idea how midterms just creeped up on me without me noticing. I found out yesterday morning that I have 3 midterms next week: Physical Chemistry, Peoples and Cultures of the Americas, and Molecular Biology. Unfortunately the concert for one of my favorite bands, Vampire Weekend (If you like indie rock I …
Third Eye Blind = Perfection
Yesterday I saw Third Eye Blind, my all-time favorite band, in concert. I have seen them two times before, but I think that this was the best performance yet. They just released their new CD in August, and it was their first CD in six years. This was the first time I saw them after the new CD, Ursa Major …
It’s Britney…
Well it’s been another great but crazy week. I had my first midterm bright and early Thursday morning at 8 a.m. so I had my whole Wednesday open to study…little did i know what would happen. Being the good student that I am, I had of course waited until the day before to begin studying. I had left from 2 …
