I think the best thing about USC is the fact that it is so diverse… I’m not just talking about my colorful background… I’m talking about the schools and the Los Angeles terrain. Dornsife, Annenberg, SCA, Marshall, they all attract such a great variety of talents and LA and its mountains, oceans, parks, deserts etc. [...]

I arrived to school on Monday exhausted and out of breath, but instead of being greeted with sympathy from the other teachers, they all took turns pulling my leg. They couldn’t believe I actually walked to school when there was a city bus I could have taken from the local market (a five minute walk [...]

Filtered, boiled, or bottled water. Even the locals drink it just to be on the safe side. Things people say [...]

Year two at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Just kidding – being a witch in the world of Harry Potter would definitely make my life complete, but the next best thing is being a sophomore in the magical land of USC.

I really love morning assembly at Dilkhush, so I thought I’d share the rundown. Every morning, the principal begins the assembly with a prayer followed by a song thanking God for everything He/She has given us (remember, India is a polytheistic country and we have gods and goddesses! After that, one student is selected from [...]

Hi, all! My name is Jennie and I’m a sophomore here at Dornsife. I’m originally from Palo Alto, California but my parents moved to Maryland a couple of years ago so I’ve spent some time on the East Coast, too. I’m definitely glad I returned to California for college because LA has an infinite amount [...]

My name is Tingting Wang, but everyone usually just calls me Ting (save for the few brave ones who get very creative!) I’m a Sophomore majoring in International Relations and pursuing a minor in Psychology. I hail from the suburbs of Birmingham, AL…yes, Alabama, but I’m not a Tide fan. In fact, War Eagle! If [...]
