Mingling in Madrid
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
A few days ago at the Instituto Internacional in Madrid, I went to an intercambio/language exchange and I feel pretty good about it because now tengo una cita (I have a date/meeting) with an older man named Ignacio!
Live Comedy

If you’re looking to impress someone with all USC has to offer, take them to the SCA Comedy Live Show this Friday! If you’re looking to really impress them, take them there in one of the free Ubers we now have at our disposal.
Finnish What We Started
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
While many think of Madness and painstakingly-crafted brackets (to no avail, in my case) when they think of March, here at USC, this month has been chock full of EdMonth and an impressive array of guest speakers. Last night, I had the pleasure of learning about the World’s Education Superpower…
A Daily Checklist

V-Day & The Vagina Monologues
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
On Friday, or Valentine’s Day Eve some might choose to say, I attended USC’s annual performance of The Vagina Monologues at Ground Zero. I went into it with very little prior knowledge about the show itself and left with tremendous respect for the performers, organizers, and even the audience. Oh, and of course, vaginas.
Midterm Magic

The word “midterm” is in fact a misnomer, because though we are still in the first few weeks of the semester and not the middle, I have 2 next week. Still, like stoplights and spiders, they are a necessary evil, and as a freshman I learned how to come out of these trying times relatively unscathed.
Take a Hike
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
Do it for the fresh air (do you even remember what that tastes/feels like?), do it to challenge yourself, do it to meet some rad new people, do it to get to know some of USC’s best and brightest professors outside the classroom, do it for the insta… I’m not going to get hung up on your intentions, so long as you take a hike with Peaks and Professors.
