This Blog Post Has Been Inspired by Me Getting Sick (Again)
By: Lauren Brose ‘15
I’m bad luck when it comes to getting sick. Two weeks ago, I took the initiative and got a flu shot mainly because I knew it’d make my mom happy. 48 hours later I was checking myself into the emergency room so I can get hooked up to an IV because I had a bad reaction to the vaccine. Accompanied by a dead arm that reminded me of the days when I got into fights with my older brother, I had a migraine headache, fever and a bacterial infection where the shot was administered.

The Present of Presence: The Gift We Forget To Give
By: Judy Lee ‘17
As the holiday season approaches, there will obviously be much more talk about the giving season. Everyone has a gift for someone else and holiday cheer is spread all around. But as the days draw nearer before I leave for study abroad, I find there is a mistake I’ve made over and over again: I place more emphasis and value on giving material items that will hopefully convey my feelings instead of being emotionally present.

Cool 1&2 Unit Electives Offered Spring Semester
By: Lauren Brose ‘15
Last year I wrote a blog post highlighting all of the cool, interesting electives that I wish I was able to take during my time at USC.

Even though my time here as a student has come to an end, I hope to live vicariously through all my friends who are still here! If you’re looking at your courses right now and realize you have 2 leftover units our tuition includes, check out these classes! They’re currently being offered this upcoming Spring!
