A short week for the USC Trojans takes them from Stanford to Utah in a six-day stretch. I carried with me all week the disappointment from Saturday’s loss to our bitter rivals in NorCal, but, as always, I welcomed a new game day with open arms. A reflection on last Saturday’s game: As harsh as […]
Los Angeles is a beautiful and terrifying city of lights and highways and poverty and glamour. People swarm here from all over the world to fulfill their dreams and realize their potential.

Food delivery services seem to be everywhere in Los Angeles – in fact, it often feels like a new one pops up everyday. Through these services, I have gotten food from popular places like Kazu, Pressed Juicery, and Urth Caffe delivered quickly and easily. Why sit in L.A. traffic and wait at a restaurant when […]
After enduring a long nine months without college football, the USC Trojans are back and looking to make an impact this season. We’re a couple of games in already and I can’t wait to see where the coming months will take this team. First, a reaction to the game against Alabama: I invite the Trojans […]
