I was in desperate need of a new bike lock last spring and found one after browsing USC’s “Free & For Sale” Facebook page. I met outside of campus with a student who was coincidentally also studying Public Relations in Annenberg and we immediately began to talk about our plans for summer (I was starting my first internship and she was starting her first job following graduation). I asked her for advice on how I too can lock in a full-time position upon gradation.

Midterms are right around the corner. I know that’s not super exciting and is kinda concerning. For me, it feels like the school year just started; that we can’t be done with a month of school already. Unfortunately that doesn’t make the tests come any slower.

That awkwardly freaky moment when your insides are about to explode because you feel like you currently don’t have a very tight grasp on anything in your life. I’ve been there, you’ve been there, we’ve all been there– many times.

Okay, I usually get a ton of flack from people for being confident. I recognize that there is a fine line between being confident and being full of yourself. Excuse me but if thinking that I am a worthwhile, interesting, attractive person makes me “unworthy” of someone’s time, it is their problem; NOT MINE.

I’m gonna be real with you right now. Like many students at USC, biking is my primary form of transportation around campus. During my 0.7 mile (yes I actually calculated the distance for emphasis) from my apartment to the cubicle I am writing this bio post in, I was almost hit by not one but two cars. Honestly, what’s the deal? I am already clumsy enough as it is I do not need a car to further contribute to the scrapes and bruises I manage to get on my own thank you very much.

I would probably say “yo” or “sup” ironically if we ever met in normal human interaction but since you are meeting me through the interwebs, I will be very polite and formal. Hello. My name is Kelly Kinas. See? Couldn’t you feel the firm handshake after the “hello”? I could. Either way, I’m a sophomore communications major, marketing minor. I am a part of the Executive Board of the Panhellenic Council and Trojan Dance Marathon. Get ready to see my face….

Helllllo Kelly here! Okay, so I’ve been searching for a decent college tip list and, truthfully, they all kind of suck. There is a range of opinions and judgmental comments based on a person’s actions so let me put this disclaimer first and forefront.
