I love the song Chandelier. Hell, I love Sia Furler in general. She is an incredible artist and will always be one of my favorites.

Yesterday was a particularly great day, not only because it was a Monday, but because Special Events Committee pulled some strings and got HBO to host a Game of Thrones prescreening. See that throne I’m sitting on, that’s the Iron Throne, the real one from the set. It wasn’t particularly comfortable but that’s what power feels like and I loved it. There’s really no turning back now.

The SoGal summit was the first of its kind- a day-long conference for female entrepreneurs! The day was packed with everything from free snacks to a selfie booth to a pitch competition. It was an opportunity for hundreds of women entrepreneurs/wannabe entrepreneurs to learn from and talk to investors and incubators. It was an incredible event but I was struggling with a bit of a hangover and found that all of the panels and speeches filled me with panic as I realized how much work it takes to create a start-up. What have I been doing with my life? Why have I wasted so much time? How will I ever be an entrepreneur? These despairing questions filled my throbbing head.

If you are still around campus this weekend and feel a little homesick or miss your family, don’t worry- there are lots of opportunities to celebrate Easter with your Trojan Family and maybe make some new memories.

“What are you doing tomorrow?” someone a lot like me might ask you with genuine interest in her tone. If you answered “Nothing” or “Not much” in an effort to curtail this conversation and discourage inevitable follow-up questions, THINK AGAIN. Tomorrow you’re doing much more than “not much” because there are THREE amazing fests (Springfest, Greenfest, and Gearfest) right here on campus for FREE and everyone is welcome.

Los Angeles Magazine recently hosted a panel where women leaders came together to talk about the importance of mentorship. Though they work in different fields and come from disparate backgrounds, these women all share the quality of being a *~badass~*. Whether they’re facilitating youth outreach programs in South Central LA or giving women the perfect blowout, they are empowered leaders who are making a tangible impact in their communities.

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.
