I search the web during lectures frequently. I know it’s not the honorable thing todo, but with my classes lasting well beyond three hours, I think I deserve to take brief intermissions and indulge myself with anything the world wide web has to offer. Anyway, I ran across an article yesterday about college students starting their own businesses. I scrolled through the list of the entrepreneurs, and found not one, not two, but THREE different business ventures operated by fellow Trojans. It’s exciting to see people who are around my age making moves that can grow into multi-million dollar industries, and I just had to give these future magnates justice by sharing their start-ups with you guys.

I have been receiving a stream of emails from the USC Department of Public Safety about sexual assaults occurring around Trojan parameters. These notifications have made its way in my inbox at least three times this month. I recall one incident in which one girl was ambushed as one guy restrained her arms while the other guy caressed her buttocks. Thankfully, none of the cases involved full-blown rape, but it is about time that students acknowledge this issue.

With Spring Break behind us, we only have five weeks left until this school year comes to a close. For seniors, their times of juvenile hijinks and inconsequential party behaviors will cease – unless they’re attending graduate school – as they delve into the real world. Freshmen and sophomores can steer clear of any stress since these teenyboppers have over a year left to attempt to figure out their lives. And then there’s the juniors, like myself, who are lingering at the crossroads. We can choose to engorge ourselves with alcohol and chill out as summer approaches, but deep down, we know that walk across the graduation stage is right around the corner. It can be a confusing time for us soon-to-be seniors, so I have some advice for those who are at the same stage in their lives as me.

With the first week of school since spring break coming to a close, I couldn’t help but ponder upon the adventures my friends and classmates have embarked on last week. One of my friends backpacked through Scandinavia while a classmate flew to Taiwan to celebrate the week off from school. While listening to their stories, I could only shrug my shoulders and smile hoping that no one asks about my spring break itinerary. Unfortunately, I had to show up to my internship during the week, so my journey towards everlasting merriment definitely hit a roadblock. But instead of mourning my stationary predicament, I decided to take advantage of the wonders that lie within the City of Angels.

There is something undeniably bittersweet about the conclusion of spring break. Nonetheless, the memories and experiences that resulted will last forever. From backpacking in Hawai’i to road trips along the west coast here is a look into how different USC students spent their spring break.

While many think of Madness and painstakingly-crafted brackets (to no avail, in my case) when they think of March, here at USC, this month has been chock full of EdMonth and an impressive array of guest speakers. Last night, I had the pleasure of learning about the World’s Education Superpower…

Hey! Judy here. As we enter the panicked phase of internship applications amidst schoolwork, I wanted to offer some personal (and some outsourced) tips regarding this flurry of madness.

Break probably came and went too quickly and now you find yourself back at school to face the responsibilities you may have neglected or even forgotten entirely. The workload might be intimidating to tackle, but if not now, then when? Finals end and summer begins in a mere 52 days which is ample time to be productive and fun.
