Hello, friends! First, let me start off by saying that if you haven’t read my recent post about how to obtain research at USC, you should go read that.

USC was not my dream school; in fact, I didn’t have a dream school. At the beginning of the college application season, I was not entirely sold on engineering being my future, let alone biomedical engineering. But as the decisions started arriving in the month of April, I started visiting college campuses and interacting with students who lived there, trying …
It’s true; I really can’t. Just three years ago, I stepped foot onto USC’s campus for the second time, having been admitted to USC. (See little Nat below.) This week I'm doing a Q&A on my experience with USC's application process, student life, and resources. Q: Why did you ultimately decide to attend USC? A: This is a photo from …

If this headline doesn’t bring you in for the article, I don’t know what will. Yes it is very true I was able to watch a movie on the Beatles for “Homework” this week in my General Education class, The politics and culture of the 1960’s. This was a dream come true for me. I was able to sit back …
Happy New Year and new semester! The main goal I set for myself for spring 2018 is to get on a better fitness schedule.

“So what did you do over the break?” The ultimate ice breaker for students when they return for the spring semester. I decided to take this post to discuss what I exactly I did. The first thing I did was sleep. After finals season I needed to get some energy back. After a full day I went back to working …
Many students coming to college for engineering want to know if it’s possible to take classes in other areas, or electives as we call them. My answer is always… YES! I wrote about an elective I took this semester, Future Cinema, during the middle of the semester, and I now want to write about two other electives I took as …
The holiday season. The season of giving. What a wonderful time for student organizations to get together and escape from the stress of looming finals ahead of us. Whatever you celebrate, USC has something in store for you. Whether it be an ugly sweater contest to a huge bonfire in the middle of the lawn, this holiday season is full …
I cannot believe this semester is almost over. That means that 5/8 of my time here is almost complete. WOW.

If there is one piece of advice I can give to you at this point in my life, it’s that constantly pushing …
The other day in my student organization, we were having an ice breaker where we discussed our favorite class at USC. Even though my answer wasn’t technically at USC, Industrial Systems Engineering 460, Engineering Economy. The class offered very practical skills of taking costs and profits of a business to see if the company is justifiable for investment at the …
One of my favorite Audrey Hepburn quotes goes a little something like this: “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands–one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” Audrey’s quote is a great summary of my experience at USC so far. Going through the college admissions process, picking a school, and starting my freshman year …
