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 …
My final spring break in high school probably sounded very similar to your final high school spring break. Having not yet selected, but already visited, USC, I spent my 2012 spring vacation visiting schools in the American southeast. I took tours at the University of Miami, Georgia Tech, Embry Riddle, and Florida Tech before succumbing to the region’s wicked humidity. …
Hey guys, I wanted to write a bit this week about the best classes that I have taken over the last four years here at USC. It’s becoming increasingly weird to think that within the next ten weeks, my undergraduate studies and experiences will come to a close (I do plan on getting an MBA sometime after working in …
During winter break, I had the pleasure of travelling with USC Hillel to Ertz Israel (Hebrew for “the land of Israel”) via Birthright. A ten-day adventure through Israel, Birthright took me all throughout the country – through the bustling streets of Tel Aviv, the wooded hills of Safed, the buoyant waters of the Dead Sea, and the religious halls of …
So I just finished up 6 months in Melbourne and absolutely fell in love with Australia. Everyone was so welcoming and studying internationally was an amazing cultural experience and I really think I grew a lot as a person. I studied abroad by directly enrolling in the University of Melbourne so I was completely immersed and was usually the only non-Australian …
As the semester starts to wind down, I can’t help but think that my time at USC is flying by and I’m more than half way done. This semester has by far been my busiest but has been jam packed with the best memories. Here are some of my favorite moments of the semester! Viterbi Overseas: (yes it was over …
Hey Everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Happy almost-Halloweekend! This week I wanted to talk a bit about one of my favorite Viterbi Plus experiences: Viterbi + my Cultural Anthropology minor. I originally declared my minor in Cultural Anthropology after taking a General Education class in anthropology. My class was on the nature of Maya Civilization, and I became …
Hey Everyone! I just finished up my action packed summer of 2015! I started my internship with Visa on May 18th just 5 days after my last final. I interned with the Digital and Mobile Product Development group and I absolutely loved it. My specific role was to create dashboards for project and product managers to track the status of …
Wander Without Walls “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” ~ Terry Pratchett (A Hat Full …
Coming to SC as an engineering student, I never thought I would have the opportunity to study abroad with a heavy engineering course load and the pressure of not wanting to miss out on an amazing semester on campus. However, after living in London for the past 7 weeks taking engineering courses and exploring Europe, I realized that the Viterbi …
This summer was one of the most incredible summers of my life, as I got to spend it participating in a service learning study abroad program in Cape Town, South Africa! Cape Town was one of my favorite cities, and I am convinced it is one of the best places for a young person in the entire world. Throughout my …
Hey everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful summer break. It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over. I’m currently back at school preparing for sorority recruitment, and I’m so excited for classes to start next week! I’m really looking forward to this semester. I’m thrilled to be a Freshman Academy Coach this year! Most importantly, I cannot …
Hey Everyone, I cannot believe that summer is right around the corner with only a few finals standing in my way. Right when the semester comes to a close, I will have the opportunity to go abroad to the Middle East, and work a technical internship back in Los Angeles. A fun and jam packed summer ahead of me, I …
This summer, I am very excited to have the opportunity to study abroad in South Africa! The program I am working with is a Community Development and Social Justice program run on the University of Cape Town campus. On the program, I will first take a class focused on poverty and development, using Cape Town as a case study. We …
