EveryTable: Equality vs. Equity
By: Sophia Pei ‘22
Everytable provides fresh, nutritious food at equitable prices for Los Angeles neighborhoods. Their unique business model fixes prices for their meals at different prices based on the average household income of the community. For example, an EveryTable location in West LA may sell bowls for $8 while the South LA location may have the same bowls for $5 to promote equity and provide food at an affordable cost in LA’s food deserts.

Say What You Need to Say
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
Yesterday on Trousdale, there was a lot going on, so you may have missed the Postcards for Representatives table sponsored by USC Delta Phi Epsilon and Trojan Advocates for Political Progress. I stopped by in a bit of a hurry on my way to class and got a postcard to send to my representatives and some really helpful information about the Day of Action that I’d love to pass along to all of you.
Women’s March Los Angeles
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
Last Saturday, millions of people around the world took to the streets to march for women’s rights, our human rights. The New York Times assembled a photo from each city’s Women’s March, from Nairobi to Lima, Tel Aviv to Sydney (and, of course, dozens of U.S. cities). I get chills each time I scroll through the images of the different demonstrations (and not just when I catch a glimpse of the Antarctica march). What a tremendous display of unity: women make up over half of the world’s population and will not be silenced.
The Beauty of Jujuy (And The Best Study Abroad Apps!)
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
It’s important that you know, both for accuracy of pronunciation and the sake of the rhyme scheme that Jujuy is pronounced “Hoo-hooey”. And our road-trip through the northern part of this province in Argentina was nothing short of breathtaking.

Home is Wherever There is Food
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
People always say that the best way to really immerse yourself in a new country is to live with a homestay family, especially when you’re trying to learn a new language. And I’m going to have to agree with the masses on this one, though at first I had my doubts.
A Daily Checklist
By: Grace Carballo ‘17
If you can remember these 6 things with seemingly little correlation, your hygiene will be adequate and your life, relatively purposeful. That’s all anyone can really ask of you anyway.
Where's the Free Food At?
By: Hannah Kim ‘15
One of the hardest parts about living on your own (and slowly and painfully becoming an adult) is learning how to feed yourself. Gone are the days when you could open a stocked fridge to leisurely select your meal. In college, it is the unfortunate reality that sometimes you open up your fridge to be greeted by a lone bottle of Sriarcha. And a potato. If you’re lucky.
About Matt
By: Matt Freihofner ‘15
Born and bred a New Yorker, I never thought I would live anywhere but the Empire State. After graduating high school I went to community college near NYC for a year and then transferred to SUNY Albany in upstate New York.

What brings together the Asian, Black, Latino and LGBT communities Project Remix is the meeting of four cultural centers at USC: Asian Pacific American Student Services (APASS), El Centro Chicano (the Latino Cultural Center), the Center for Black Cultural and Student Affairs (CBCSA) and the LGBT Resource Center (LGBT RC).
About Lauren
By: Lauren Brose ‘15
I’m gonna be real with you right now. Like many students at USC, biking is my primary form of transportation around campus. During my 0.7 mile (yes I actually calculated the distance for emphasis) from my apartment to the cubicle I am writing this bio post in, I was almost hit by not one but two cars. Honestly, what’s the deal? I am already clumsy enough as it is I do not need a car to further contribute to the scrapes and bruises I manage to get on my own thank you very much.
About Kelly
By: Kelly Kinas ‘17
I would probably say “yo” or “sup” ironically if we ever met in normal human interaction but since you are meeting me through the interwebs, I will be very polite and formal. Hello. My name is Kelly Kinas. See? Couldn’t you feel the firm handshake after the “hello”? I could. Either way, I’m a sophomore communications major, marketing minor. I am a part of the Executive Board of the Panhellenic Council and Trojan Dance Marathon. Get ready to see my face….
