Hey guys!! Spring semester ended about 10 weeks ago, but summer has already been absolutely crazy!! As some of you may know, I was lucky enough to spend the last eight weeks abroad, taking classes through the Viterbi Overseas Program. A friend and I flew in early and traveled around London and Amsterdam, then we proceeded to spend the next seven weeks …
Ciao Ragazzi! This summer has absolutely flown by, and I can’t believe there’s only about a month we all head back to USC! I’ve just had the most amazing 7 weeks studying abroad in Rome, Italy! As you might already know, I had the opportunity to do this as one of 42 USC students participating in the Viterbi Summer Overseas …
Yesterday was my last day studying abroad in Rome with the Viterbi Overseas Program. The program has flown by far too fast but I’ve had an incredible past 7 weeks experiencing new cultures, making amazing friends, taking classes for my major and eating excessive amounts of pizza. This has been a summer of so many wonderful memories, and here are just …
My six and a half week study abroad trip in Rome, Italy has come to an end. It all flew by! I walk away with a profound respect for Roman culture and traditions and a myriad of experiences that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Living in Rome for over a month has given me unique insights …
The summer is half way over and I am currently sitting at the Rome Ciampino airport waiting for my (delayed) flight to start boarding. After 7 weeks in Rome, I am off to Greece and Croatia with friends and family. Even though I am extremely excited to be traveling for almost a whole month, I am so sad that the …
Hey Everyone!! I am currently writing this blog post finishing up my Viterbi Study Abroad in Rome. I am definitely feeling a mixture of emotions right now as I pack my stuff in this place I called home for seven weeks. During this trip, I decided to start a project during my trip in Rome of taking a picture once a …
I think the number one question I’ve been asked since deciding to study abroad is why I chose to come to Hong Kong. And, as with most decisions in my life (like why I chose USC, or why I chose to major in electrical engineering), I’ve realized the reasons I decided on Hong Kong and the reasons why I’ve loved …
The last week of March, my older sister came to visit! She spent four days in Hong Kong, and I got to be part tour guide, showing her around my stomping grounds, and part tourist, hitting up some of the main sites I hadn’t been to yet (including the cultural center of Disneyland Hong Kong). It was great to feel …
The past few weekends have been a blur: I went to Philippines for some ~fun in the sun~; was backstage at Hong Kong’s premier (read: only) music festival, Dragonland, where all my middle school favs were gathered (Mike Posner, Carly Rae Jepson, Iggy Azalea, and the Black Eyed Peas); and celebrated my 21st birthday! All in all, not a bad few …
The best part about taking a lighter course load in Hong Kong than I normally do at USC is using that free time to travel. My first two weekends of actually being in school here, I left Hong Kong. My first trip was to Macau, aka the Vegas of Asia. Half cobblestone streets and Portuguese style buildings, and half giant themed …
It’s so weird to say, but I have officially been in Hong Kong for 9 days! It’s been a crazy nine days; with adjusting to jet lag (I’m 16 hours ahead of LA, hello from the ~future~), learning my way around a new campus and a new city, and meeting so many new people, but it’s also been so much …
When I was looking at colleges, one of the few things I knew I wanted to during my four years was study abroad, and a huge thing that drew me to USC was the commitment to getting anyone, even engineers, who wanted to study abroad, abroad. And I am so excited to say that in just a few days, I …
The middle of September to the middle of October is notoriously known amongst USC students as “Midterm Season.” Encompassing both the 1/3 mark of the semester and the halfway point, the majority of classes have either an exam, a presentation or a paper due; if you’re lucky, they’re not all in the same week, but if you’re not, then midterms …
Hey everyone! Thanks for tuning into my blog today, I’m coming to you from home in Seattle after a long summer of travel and I wanted to tell you about a typical day in my life! The reality is, I didn’t have a single “typical” day during the Viterbi Summer Overseas program. Studying in Madrid, I tried my hardest to …
Hey friends! As I mentioned in my previous post (read the details about my rad summer here), I’ve had quite a hectic thirteen weeks filled with adventures and traveling. I’ve been lucky enough to visit North Carolina for ultimate frisbee nationals, live in China for a month and a half while conducting research, and spend a week in the incredible Canadian rockies …
Hey party people, I hope you’re all enjoying your summer! I’m just dropping in to check in and talk more about my #ViterbiSummer! Well, actually, more about my#ViterbiAbroad summer. Since I got back from Spain, I’ve just been relaxing and enjoying the last few weeks, but I’ve been having major Madrid withdrawals so here’s a little taste of my typical …
Time for a brief summer update!! If I were to summarize my summer in one word, it would be crazy. We still have something like five weeks left, and I already have had some amazing experiences traveling across the United States, and even the world. Here’s what I’ve been up to so far! About three weeks after school ended, I flew …
Hello from Spain! Well, actually from Bakersfield since I’ve been back for about a week, but you get the idea. For 7 weeks this summer I studied abroad in Madrid, Spain through the Viterbi Overseas Program! The way the program works is 30-40 USC Viterbi students all study abroad in a city in Europe. Students take two classes that count …
Back with a summer update! This summer, I participated in the USC Viterbi Summer Abroad Program in Madrid, Spain. For 7 weeks, I lived and learned in the economic and political capital of Spain, home to over 3 million people. Studying abroad was truly a fantastic experience. The excitement of traveling and living abroad combined with the challenge of learning …
A week ago, I walked out of the last class of my sophomore year. I can’t believe I’ve already spent two years at USC. 2 internships and 19 classes later, it feels like I’m barely getting started! Spring 2016 has definitely been one of my favorite semesters so far. I served on the executive board of my sorority, got more …
