With the second week of school just ending, hopefully we all should have gotten back into the swing of things from previous semesters.

Hi! My name is AnnaLiese. My legal name is Anna and my middle name is Liese, but I’ve always smashed the two names together to be the uniquely-capitalized name that I have.

I am a huge believer in the power of two very important words: “thank you”—you can’t say them enough. In building your career path, it is important to be gracious about all the opportunities you receive and acknowledge them. Mentors, job interviewers, informational interviewees, professors, friends, family etc., they all deserve thank-you letters.

Hi there! My name is Rini Sampath and I’m the Student Body President here at the beautiful University of Southern California. You probably have seen my face on posters on campus. Or heard how my hair is so big because it’s full of secrets. Or maybe you are one of my true and trusted friends loyally reading this blog entry. Or maybe not, that’s okay, too.
