Hi guys! Colleges and college students often raise the topic of competition as a natural selection method for determining the best and brightest in a class. Coming from high school and playing sports, I have always bought into this idea of competition. May the best man win has wormed its way into my mindset and perspective towards academics and life. …
Hi Guys, I hope you all had a wonderful winter holiday. I think I can speak for most of us that it was a much needed and rejuvenating time! Not only was I able to spend time with my family and cousins over the holiday, but I got the opportunity to catch up with old friends. It is quite interesting …
Hey everyone! After an awesomely busy parents’ weekend, I’m back to tell you guys about another one of my favorite places that I’ve found in Los Angeles: The Getty Museum! A scenic half-hour drive north of campus, it’s always a nice place to hang out with friends or visiting family. The Getty Museum is in the Santa Monica mountains, just …
Even though it took me a little while to get there, when I got to Manhattan Beach this year before school, I knew it was a special place. It was one of those moments when you’re like I have to make a lot of money and live there at some point. I even went there this weekend with my one …
Hi all! Lately a few videos have been forwarded to me regarding a number of interesting individuals. The videos ranged from athletes, to dancers, musicians, and craftsmen. After watching the numerous videos I began to gain a new respect and understanding for people who dedicate their life to a craft or a skill. These are people who have found something …
Hey All! I hope you had a fantastic Halloween and either got a lot of candy or were able to spend it doing something you really enjoyed! A few friends from my hometown came to visit during this time and it made me really realize how far I have come since middle and high school. We are not completely different …
Hi Guys, Every year it seems like I find a bunch of new study spots! I recently have grown fond of the Wallis Annenberg building that was recently constructed. Aside from the beautiful USC architecture expressing a more Gothic-style, the building is at the heart of the campus, making it easy to get food or as a central point to …
Hi Guys, We all go to college with the looming expectation by our parents that we will graduate and find a job in industry that not only pays well, but is everything we hoped and dreamed. Yet in this day and age with the growth of technology and the emphasis on innovation, not only are traditional companies becoming largely outdated, but …
Hi Guys, As a senior, graduation peeks over the horizon, eager to thrust us into the world of professionalism and adulthood. And that is so exciting! I am ready to make my mark in the world. Create value in a traditional market and give more back to society than I consume. A number of things are on the table. While …
Hi everyone! I hope you all have been enjoying your day so far. I have had a great couple of weeks getting back into my routine at USC. I cannot believe it is already half way through September! Time really flies when you are busy and having fun. Today, I wanted to focus on telling you a little bit about …
Hey Guys! I hope those of you who got a chance to caravan up California for the weekender had a fantastic time! I have gone twice, and never regretted it. If you get the opportunity, buy tickets and make the trip! It is unreal to see how USC comes and conquers Berkeley, San Francisco, and the Bay Area during this …
Hi guys! I hope you have all enjoyed your summers! My summer has been one for the books. There were so many great experiences from my trip to the Caribbean to my internship with CenturyLink Technology Solutions. I thought I would tell you a little bit about some of these adventures.
I can’t believe summer is already coming to an end! It went by way too quickly, like it always does. I spent all of my summer in Los Angeles, and I had some pretty amazing experiences. 1. I decided to take Writing 340 for Engineers over the summer. Writing 340 is a required class for all upperclassmen at USC, and …
One of my favorite activities that I have become involved in is the USC Women’s Ice Hockey team. The girls from the team became some of my closest friends here at USC as soon as I joined. Though I’ve been nearly obsessed with hockey for quite a few years now (Go Kings Go!), I’d never played hockey a day in …
Hi everyone! I cannot believe that the last week of classes for this semester are over. Final exams are all that stand between the summer and me. I cannot wait to spend some time with my family and finalize my summer internship plans in the next couple of weeks. I’ll tell you about some of my favorite memories from this …
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 Wednesday night, I had the awesome opportunity to attend the 36th annual Viterbi Awards! The Viterbi Awards is an event hosted every year by the Viterbi School of Engineering that recognizes outstanding members of the engineering community as a whole as well as alumni who have made a positive impact post graduation. Different companies buy tables at the events, …
Hey everyone! Looking back on my semester, one of my favorite parts was my participation in philanthropies on Fridays. I played beach volleyball, was pied with whip cream, and even distributed books to children. These all supported great causes and were lots of fun! I wanted to share some of those experiences with you.
Hi all! As the semester is coming to a close, I wanted to reflect on some of the courses I have taken. This semester I am enrolled in the USC iPodia Program (ENGR 345). This is a unique program that allows students from around the world to come together in a single course and collaborate. The official course name …
Entering college, I was told time and time again my first year would fly by. I thought they were all exaggerating. Well, they weren’t. And the scary thing is that sophomore year flies by even faster. I still can’t believe that I am almost halfway done with my time as an undergrad at USC. During that first year, days blurred …
