The First Summer of the Rest of My Life

Yesterday, I finished my last class of my undergraduate education. In exactly 2 weeks I will be graduating, with only 4 finals and a handful of projects/papers between me and my bachelors degree. It’s definitely a bittersweet time — I’ve enjoyed my time at USC so much that I’m sad to be leaving, but at the same time I’m excited about where I am headed and I’m ready to move...

With only one week left of classes, summer is just around the corner. Which also means that my time here in California is also coming to an end. Although I’m really sad to leave USC after 4 amazing years here, I’m really looking forward to all the good things yet to come. The day after graduation my family and I will be flying home to Georgia. I’ll have a month...

Coolest Class: BME 210 – Biomedical Computer Simulations

I am currently taking a class called BME 210 – a Biomedical Computer Simulations Method class which basically involves modeling the human body and the systems within with the help of differential equations and Matlab. The reason this class is “cool” is because I think it is the first time a BME student is able to get a good picture of what biomedical engineering really is and how diverse its...

When I first decided to study Electrical Engineering, a lot of people asked me if I was worried about going into a “male-dominated field”. I wouldn’t say that I was ever “worried” about it, but I did expect it to be a huge adjustment after being a Theatre major, where I was lucky if even 25% of the class was male. Going from classes with mostly girls to classes with...

As I started to write this post, the first thing I exclaimed to my roommates around me was, “Wait, I don’t have much to say. I never have felt any sort of stigma being a woman in engineering…at least I have never noticed it.” Being a woman engineer was never a surprise to my family or friends. There are a couple reasons this came to be. First off, most of...

California Fun under the Sun

The past couple of weeks have been a blur of fun for me. To start off, I began spring break by celebrating my 21st birthday! To celebrate, a couple of my friends and I went to the Yardhouse at LA Live to enjoy some delicious food and drinks. As an added bonus, since my birthday fell over spring break, I got the entire week to continue to celebrate. The first...

Why I Chose USC

Now that I’m a senior, the college admission process seems like it was so long ago. Nonetheless, I definitely still remember how I came to make the best decision of my life – choosing to attend USC. Early in the college application process, I I actually wasn’t sure if USC was the school for me. It’s tough for me to admit, but UCLA was actually one of my front-runners, along...

Why I Chose USC

I can’t remember exactly when I fell in love with California, but some time between the ages of 5 and 15, I did. Southern California more than anywhere else. Maybe it was the weather, or the Summer vacations to Disneyland and visiting the home of my former-Trojan Grandfather who never left, but I knew that at some point in my life I would have to live here. Why not in college, when...

Why I Chose USC

Somehow my Senior year here at USC is coming to a close, and its amazing how fast the past four years have gone by. Four years ago, as a Senior in high school, I was struggling to imagine where I would end up in the fall and spend the next four years of my life–the classes I would take, the friends I would make and the experiences I would have...

“The Decision”: Why I Chose USC

/ March 16, 2012 / Leave a comment

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...
