This past weekend I decided to take a trip to Costa Rica. My weekend getaway left me craving the delicious freshly made coffee and lush rainforests. Here are some of the things I plan on doing during my following trip.
For Grads: Using the Career Center for Landing Full-Time Jobs
By: Lauren Brose ‘15
Finding a job nowadays is a full-time job within itself and just because we have USC on our resumes doesn’t mean getting hired is as simple as filling out a job application. As much as I’d love to say all major companies handpick graduates from USC, that simply isn’t true. USC is a great university to learn, grow and emerge into the working world from for a number of reasons; however, getting a high-paying job handed to you as you receive your diploma at graduation is not one of them. There is good reasoning behind why some grads are receiving offers of employment.
USC bike etiquette on campus
By: Lauren Brose ‘15
USC students commute to class a number of ways: on foot or by car, bike, skateboard as well as the occasional Razor scooter. During prime hours, getting around can get a little clustered and cause unwarranted collisions—especially during the first week of school when many first attempt to brave the intersection at Jefferson and Hoover. If everyone was on the same page, the ebb and flow of student transportation would be much more efficient and less dangerous, too.
Quick, easy ways to save money in college (without going insane or being called frugal)
By: Lauren Brose ‘15
Like the old cliché that “money cannot buy happiness,” I realize that there is much more to life than wealth. Money certainly isn’t the solution to all of my problems but that doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t a problem I face as a college student who’s entirely dependent on my parents. As much as I appreciate my parents’ generosity of financing my college education, it doesn’t feel right to be wasteful with my finances. Now’s the perfect time to take control of your finances, learn to save here and there and understand the full value of managing and spending money earned.

Where to begin with this USC Program Board event? USC Speakers Committee were absolutely fantastic and got the creator of Marvel, creative, hilarious, the man that every student at USC now wants as their grandfather, Stan Lee.
