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...

Last Friday was the event that every engineer eagerly awaits, the legendary Viterbi Ball. V-Ball (as it is affectionately called) is held on the friday of E Week and is the culminating event of the week. For more information about E Week, check out Steve’s blog. The theme for this year’s V-Ball was 1920′s, so engineers showed up decked out in Gatsby-esc flapper dresses and broad rimmed hats. My friends...

Half of my senior year is officially over and I can’t believe it. It’s been a full week since the end of finals week so I’m now getting some well-deserved rest, absurd amounts of sleep, and lots of home-cooked food!! Being home for the holidays is the best. There’s no celebration more heartwarming and festive than Christmas in the Philippines. If you haven’t heard, Christmas in the Philippines is the...

Man, what a weekend! When I found out the Blue Man Group was performing in Orange County, I knew I had to see them. Seeing their painted faces on billboards and ads creeped me out, I’ll admit, but I’ve heard the hoop-la about their act since I was a kid and still had no clue what these guys were all about. It was time for me to find out! My...

So to phrase it nicely, last week was…difficult. I studied incessantly, slept minimal hours, and just really didn’t get much done other than practice tests and practice problems for midterms for my two hardest classes. One was on Thursday and the other on Friday. I was counting down the hours until Friday at 3pm when it was all over. After that I had a few things to get done, but...

Throughout my college hunt, out of all the thousands of organizations that colleges offered, I always kept an eye out for one specific extracurricular involvement: ballroom dancing.

My Freshman year in high school , I decided to try something new out and enrolled in the local community college’s Introduction to Ballroom Dancing class. Even though I learned...

Why I Chose USC

Ah, college. It’s the chapter in my life that I could never completely prepare myself for… and I’m glad that was the case! I like being kept on my toes Back when I was a sophomore studying in Manila (Philippines), I knew I wanted to study abroad for college without a doubt. My driving force started off as a hunger for challenges, exposure to an international community and a holistic...

Last weekend I attended my fraternity’s formal (I am a member of the Beta Sigma chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon, or TKE, here at USC) held in Las Vegas, known as Red Carnation Ball, or RCB. RCB is a time to celebrate the events that took place over the course of the school year, hang out with your brothers, and in general have a good time. My date was fellow...
