Thinking back on my last three semesters I have always found time to go out with friends but I haven’t explored LA as much as I would have liked. This past weekend I was able to visit one of the places I have had on my bucket list for a while, the Griffith Observatory. SEDS – Students for the Exploration …
When I had committed to come to USC, my first challenge was choosing where I was going to live. USC has many different freshman residence halls that is perfect for all types of students. Since I received a merit scholarship from USC, I chose to live in McCarthy Honors College in the brand-new University Village. The next thing I thought …
Until I visited USC last March, I had never been to Los Angeles. When I arrived in LA for my campus visit, I knew very little about the city beyond its idyllic depiction in La La Land, a movie which left me excited to have those quintessentially LA experiences seen in the film. After my visit, I realized why all …
I’ve mentioned before that I’m in the Thematic Option program here at USC, and some of the coolest classes I’ve taken are part of that program. In particular, my favorite one has been the class that I took on aural culture. I genuinely love listening to music so much, and it’s such a big part of my day-to-day life. Music …
One of my all time favorite involvements at USC is being a Freshman Academy coach. As a coach, I coteach the Engr 102 Freshman Academy class, which exposes first semester freshman different engineering fields and helps acclimate students to life in Viterbi. As well as grading homework and coming up with lessons, my co coach and I also plan “out …
Happy Friday!! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been looking forward to the weekend since Monday. Now that midterm season is winding down, it’s about time we spend some time getting some well-deserved rest! So what does a weekend in LA look like? For me, three things: football, food and Downtown LA. Trojans will tell you fall semester is all …
Well it’s about that time of year again that every student looks forward to- midterm season! Just kidding, no sane person actually likes midterm season, but it does mean we’re that much closer to winter break!! And as important as getting good grades and studying is around this time of year, it’s also important to remember that college is something …
All Viterbi freshmen take ENGR-102: Engineering Freshman Academy, during their first semester at USC. This class meets once a week for two hours to discuss a plethora of broad and specific engineering topics, engage in versatile debates, explore the various Engineering Grand Challenges, and participate in group design activities. Arguably just as important, the class functions to transition freshman into …
Being from Texas, I don’t get to see my family and friends from back home as much as I would like, and Spring Break is typically a time when I would take advantage of having no class and go home for a week. This year I decided to switch it up and had a few of my friends spend a …
L.A. is not Colorado, of course, but that doesn’t mean that mountains (or, large hills from my biased perspective) are not within close reach. There are views aplenty in Los Angeles and the surrounding San Gabriel Mountains, and some of the easiest and accessible areas are a 15 minute drive from USC near Downtown LA. Last weekend, I visited the …
My New Years Resolution this year was to do at least one new thing every single week and so far I am off to a great start. I decided that new hikes and new restaurants count as new experiences because sometimes it can be tough to find something new to do but checkout my list below! Very first USC Rosebowl …
Hello! I hope your 2017 is off to a great start because out with the old and in with the new, am I right?! I spent the very end of 2016 and the very start of 2017 in my hometown of Houston, Texas, or as we like to say, in H-town! I did SO much while I was home with …
Hey, everyone! As the summer comes to a close, I hope you all are as excited as I am to start school again! These last few weeks in Houston have been relaxing. I just have really, really focused on relaxing because I know that as soon as I’m back in class-mode, I will have very little time to. However, I …
Los Angeles. Houston. Austin. Somewhere in the middle of Texas that nobody knows about. Four cities. One summer. Hey everyone! I hope everyone’s summer has been relaxing, enjoyable, and not ending as fast as I think it is! I know I’ve had a great summer thus far exploring four different cities. Los Angeles I stayed in LA for a week …
LACMA Over Spring Break, I went somewhere I have been wanting to go since I moved from Houston to LA; I went on a visit to the Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art (LACMA), but more specifically, I went to the Frank Gehry exhibit. I am an avid fan of architecture. Last semester, when I took a class in architecture for …
I can’t believe it’s the end! …of undergrad that is — there’s still so much to do and exciting things to look forward to after graduation! In just short of a month, I’ll be starting a new chapter in Houston as a Petroleum Engineer. Growing up in NJ then coming out to the west coast to live in Los Angeles …

Hey everyone! The semester is almost over, it’s and kind of crazy to think that I’m going to be halfway done with college! This got me thinking about the amazing time I’ve had so far here at SC, and what my favorite parts are as an engineering student in the middle of LA. Of course, I love being an electrical …
Hey guys! This week I wanted to talk about some of my favorite things to do in Los Angeles! Of course, there are a bunch of things to do, but I really enjoy going to museums and on hikes! When it comes to museums, my favorite has to be the Getty Center. It’s one of the most beautiful places …
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 …
