I can’t believe that there are only two weeks left of school! For me, these past two years have gone by faster than any other time in my life, of course, because they have been so fun, but also because I am busy enough that the days tend to be pretty full. I had my last midterm last week and …
In high school, sports were my preferred method of de-stressing. I played both varsity tennis and golf, and when I wasn’t in season I could be found playing both with my friends or family in preparation for the next season. As all high school athletes know, sports seasons are a great way to get exercise, hang out with your friends, …
Amongst the myriad of activities going on in my life right now ranging from midterms and classes to recruitment and student involvement, there is one thing that has me on the edge of my seat. It’s something that I have been anticipating since July 1st, 2018. LeBron James is playing for my favorite sports franchise, the Los Angeles Lakers. I …

An advantage of USC is that there are so many organizations outside of those affiliated with Viterbi to get involved in. One of the most grounding and memorable experiences of my freshmen year was coaching for the Trojan Youth Soccer League. My co-coach, a fellow freshman, and I had a team of 12 kids ages seven to nine. We had …
In high school, I was super involved with my cross-country and track and field teams, and that’s how I met some of my best friends. Suffering through long practices every day is a great way to bond with people, so that’s why I was so excited to hear that a couple of my old teammates were coming to race at …
Hi everyone! The year is really winding down, and since I’m about to graduate, I’m feeling very nostalgic for all the fun things I’ve had a chance to do in my four years here. This weekend, I’m actually in Las Vegas for an ice hockey tournament. Since it’s the last time I’ll be playing for the USC women’s club team, …
Without a doubt, USC is known for some stellar athletic programs. Shoutout to the football team for the Rosebowl win! Getting together with friends and going to a basketball, volleyball, baseball, [insert sport of choice] is always a fun time. But, LA is a big city and this big city has a lot of professional sports team. Including the new …
So it’s the once-a-year Thursday night football game, and you can’t enjoy it because you need to finish your homework. Though this perhaps could have been avoided with some better time management skills, here we are. These are some ways to help yourself deal with arguably the best gameday experience of the year (all of the gameday fun minus the …
Hey Everyone! It’s been a little while since I’ve posted my last blog so I figured I’d come right back at ya with quite possibly my favorite thing about going to USC: football season. Now it’s been a rough start to what we already knew would be a very tough year for the Trojan Football team, but after last night’s …
At the start of my freshman year, I had a lot of goals. To name a few: get good grades, eat my way through Los Angeles food trucks, and try to remember to call my mom every once in a while. I also made a promise to my best friend: I would learn to box. You see, my best friend Andrew and …
Can you believe summer is almost over? Neither can I, so instead I’ll pretend like it’s not, and relive some of the awesome things I’ve got to do so far. This summer I have the amazing opportunity to intern for Microsoft in Seattle, WA. While most of my time is spent at the Microsoft Campus either working on my project, …
With school work starting to pick up, it is always nice to have a three-day weekend. However from Wednesday to Saturday, I was actually up in Reno, Nevada for the ASC Student Competition which is a construction management competition that members of CMAA (Construction Management Association of America) attend. There are a number of different divisions within the overall competition like …
After a long semester, it was nice to finally get a few days off with Thanksgiving break! I had been looking forward to Thanksgiving for a while since my mom would be coming out from Colorado. We decided to take a road trip down the coast of California and drive along the famous Pacific Coast Highway! It was really nice to …
Hi everyone, This week I’m going to tell you about my favorite things to do outside of engineering, which is anything and everything to do with sports. I’ve always been a big sports fan growing up, with my two favorites being football and hockey. Growing up in Orange County, an hour outside LA, both of my favorite sports teams are …
Hey everyone! Since I last posted the Trojans lost a heartbreaker in South Bend, but also beat the #3 ranked Utes to get back on track for the rest of the season. Everyone and their mothers are headed up to Berkeley this weekend for the annual Weekender trip, but I’ll be enjoying a much-needed relaxing weekend here in LA. Since I …
My entire life, I have been an NFL fan and have been lucky enough to see the Baltimore Ravens (my favorite team) win two Super Bowl championships. Last year, I transformed my love of football into a money-making hobby: playing fantasy football. In my first year playing fantasy football with friends at SC, I won a 16-team league, taking home …
By far one of my favorite involvements at USC is actually outside of the engineering school! I’ve been playing ice hockey since I was five years old, and getting to continue playing at USC has been amazing. Never did I think a school on the west coast would have a hockey team I could be on, but being on the USC …
As April almost comes to a end, looking back it was a very busy month! I had a lot going on for both classwork and extracurriculars, and it seems like every year April is always hectic! Here is what I have been up to the past few weeks! 1. Hockey Tournament in Vegas As I’ve mentioned before, I’m the captain of USC …
Hey everybody! This week I’m going to tell you a little bit about my favorite spot to go out and about in Los Angeles – LA Live in Downtown! In the last few years, the spot has become a really fun place for the city’s young people to hang out, with activities to suit every taste. It’s no secret that …
