    Coincidentally enough, I was on the same floor as Lauren my freshman year in Pardee, and since I put that I liked outdoor activities on my application, I got into the Great Outdoors Floor – the Pardee Penthouse! Honestly, I didn’t really care where I was put, but I really loved the big huge desk in front of the huge window that had a great view of LA. I went...

    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....

    What a year it has been. It struck me a few weeks ago while I was in Las Vegas for my fraternity’s formal that a year ago that day, I was making my decision about where to come to college. I took a moment to think about how far I have come since then and all the amazing things that have come out of my college decision. My highlight reel...

    The University of Southern California is not your every day university. This is not a marketing scheme, I am dead serious. This place is heaven-sent. When I was looking for a university to attend I was sure that it was going to be highly improbable that I found a school that offered me the perfect balance between academics and a great social atmosphere. While searching, the name “Viterbi” caught my...

    FOREWORD: Any time I hear the word ‘decision’ these days, it’s really hard for me to resist the urge to snicker. I instantly giggle thinking about the circus parade of a press conference- turned-dramatic tv special (“The Decision”) held by LeBron James on ESPN when announcing whether or not he would remain a Cavalier for the 2010-2011 season. That said, feel fortunate that when you make your ‘decision’ about where...

    One of the biggest reasons why I chose USC over the other schools I was looking at in high school was because I could get an engineering degree in 4 years.  While, some of the other schools did offer Industrial and Systems Engineering, their engineering program took 5 years to get a degree. Even though I live in Colorado, I do not like the cold, so I knew that I...

    Without exaggeration, choosing to come to USC was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Since I chose to come here, USC has become my home and has been even better than I could have foreseen when I decided to become a Trojan as a high school senior. I’ll admit right off the bat that at first USC wasn’t my top choice, although it was definitely up there. In...

  8. Where Did “Winter” Go?

    And I don’t just mean winter break, but the typical winter weather I’ve always known: snow, cold, inhospitable conditions, a bitter wind chill… I thought it was rough when I went to see the Washington Redskins play at FedEx field on Christmas Eve, since it was in the lower 40s, but only because I was bracing myself for worse… A worse that never came. It was the most mild Winter Break weather in...

    Wow, this semester really flew by quickly! I can’t believe I’m already over a week into my winter break. It’s so nice to be back home in sunny San Diego. Even though school is only 2 and a half hours away, I feel a lifetime away from papers, finals, and stress. In short, it’s good to be back home (with my family, friends, beaches, and cable)! Looking back on this...

    Hello All! I am writing this from my humble abode in the Cincinnati, Ohio, 2500 miles away from midterms, finals, papers, and any stress whatsoever. IT’S WINTER BREAK!!!!!!! WWWOOOOHHOOOOO!!!!!! Does it show I’m a little excited to be done with this semester? This past semester was probably the hardest/most stressful one that I’ve had in college to date: turns out 18 units, 3 jobs and several student projects would take...
