This semester, I have had the wonderful opportunity of being accepted into the organization known as Helenes. As an all women’s service organization and “the official hostesses of USC”, this club has one of the most competitive application processes I have ever been through. Out of 300 applicants, only 25 luckily ladies were selected — and I was [...]

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be a part of many amazing organizations here at USC, but my favorite organization by far is Best Buddies. The Best Buddies chapter at USC is connected to Lanterman High School, a school a few blocks from campus. It is for children with intellectual or developmental disabilities, and those [...]

This semester, I was ecstatic to be accepted to the Bet class (second “pledge class”) of USC’s recently established branch of Tamid Israel Investing & Consulting Group. As an Israeli citizen, I’m always looking for ways to contribute and make a connection to Israel while on campus. This diverse fledgling student organization is comprised of [...]

For Carnissa and I, the answer was yes! Both of us are from Seattle (and proud of it) so Macklemore holds a special place in our hearts. Needless to say, we wasted no time when he posted a Facebook status that he needed extras for a music video that he was filming in Los Angeles for [...]

Basketball is more than just a sport. Ever since my dad took me to the park and taught me to how to play 15 years ago, I have loved everything about it. I love going to games, from the Lakers to USC athletics to my little sister’s games! I love watching basketball on TV and [...]

One of the most amazing things about being at USC is the ability to see so many prominent scholars, professionals, and world leaders. In the past, USC’s campus has been graced by the presence of President Obama, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and countless other inspiring and worldly people. This past Monday I had the [...]

This semester, I went to football games, ate a lot of Ramen noodles, met a lot of great people, got a job on campus, drank a lot of Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccinos from Trojan Grounds, got lost in the book stacks in Doheny Library, and more. It was challenging, fun, new, and everything in between. [...]

When I unfolded myself like a piece of origami from my filled-to-capacity American Airlines flight in Miami, I did not expect to find many Trojan fans on the East Coast. Maybe some disgruntled Trojans who had been a tad optimistic and had purchased tickets to Miami hoping to see the Trojans play in the Natty [...]

I can barely believe that yet another semester of USC is complete. As cliche as this sounds, it feels like just yesterday that I was moving into Pardee Tower and saying goodbye to my parents at the top of Parking Structure X. In just one and half years, not only have I made new friends, [...]

Knowing I helped make history is a really cool feeling. On November 6, 2012, with the reelection of Barack Obama as president of the United States of America, we all made history. It’s crazy to think how close the election was and how every vote really did count. I have a TV in my apartment, [...]
