 in ,
Global warming is progressing – our climate is becoming more unpredictable, coastal homes are being destroyed and forecasted damage is becoming less of a futuristic horror story and more of a new-generation reality.

This week’s poems are about falling for someone and the intense feelings that are associated with a growing relationship.

Best L.A. Coffee Shops for Studying


By

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Los Angeles it’s that people absolutely love coffee shops. The city has a variety of shops, and each has a unique vibe. It seems like all of these places are full of trendy, L.A. locals writing screenplays and drinking matcha. The area surrounding USC doesn’t have the largest […]

Ask Hahney: Overbearing Parents


By
 in ,
Q: How do I deal with overbearing parents? Ahhh, when you finally leave the nest… It can be hard… especially on your parents.

Crawling out of bed on a Monday morning to see dark, cotton candy looking clouds hover over Los Angeles is weird. If it begins to rain in LA, the first thought that crosses my mind is that the apocalypse is upon us. However in all honesty, I find my general reaction to rain odd. I […]

Studying Abroad as a Person of Color


By

About a week ago, I was sitting in McDonald’s (A.K.A. MacDo) writing an essay. One thing I clearly remember was the various music being played in the loudspeaker. I heard music sung in Hindi, English, Arabic and Spanish all within a span of an hour. McDonald’s — which is really good here, by the way — […]

The Transition from Freshman to Sophomore


By

Freshman year is full of changes. You move away from home, you gain independence, you make new friends, etc. For me, freshman year was the best year of my life. I lived in New North, and while there were a few drawbacks to living in that dorm, I couldn’t have asked for a better living […]

If you’re one of the thousands of fall admits at USC and you’re still here, you deserve a pat on the back. You survived the first round of midterms and career fairs! I bet every international grad student would agree that the past few months seem to have gone by like a New York moment! Just […]

Daily Trojan’s Daily Poet: The Validity of Poetry


By
 in ,
This week’s poetry focused on the validity of poetry and art. Some people tend to look at art as something that is only supposed to be aesthetically pleasing. They praise art that is “pretty,” but not art that is controversial. Art and poetry are meant to speak to people and challenge the thoughts of others. […]
