Work On It Wednesday: Writing Well

By: Emily Young MA ‘16

Writing college papers can be a daunting task: the amount of writing, the standard that teachers expect, the level of research behind it—and did I mention it’s due in a week. In high school, we wrote papers about our thoughts and feelings on book we read in class. Now that we are in college, we’re expected to use the book we read in class to stimulate a topic idea, research the topic more, and present unique arguments and critical thought. Not only is this style of writing new, but on top of that different professors may want different writing and citing structures that you might not be familiar with.

By: Paul Samaha ‘17

This past weekend I turned 21. I had a great birthday (aside from the loss to Stanford) with great friends and even some family that flew in town from Virginia to visit me.

6 Thoughts You Have During Your First 5k

By: Judy Lee ‘17

My mile time in elementary school was 9 minutes and 8 seconds. Nowadays, getting to a 10-minute mile is hellish. Since then, age and the freshman 15 have not done me any huge favors. So when I signed up for the Santa Monica Classic for $40 (roughly equivalent to almost FOUR Chipotle burrito bowls with guac), I knew the wager was enough to get me going.

Seeing Stars and How to Catch Them

By: AnnaLiese Burich ‘17

We all knew it when we applied, we all knew it when we chose to come here, and we all know it every time we leave the house: celebrities live in LA. We live amongst the stars; this is Hollywood, land of glamour and paparazzi and home to every one of our favorite entertainment industry professionals (except the odd ones out who live in New York – whatever).

Having a Pet at USC: Good or Bad Idea?

By: Lauren Brose ‘15

Until this past May, I’ve never owned a pet that didn’t belong in a tank. I grew up not only loving animals and desiring one for myself but with a brother who had asthma accompanied with a string of allergies such as grass or dust. While it was devastating to not have a dog or a cat in the family, I knew when the time was right, I would get my very own fur baby.
