Sips Tea: Peep It, Pray On It, Keep It Pushing


By
 in ,
To anyone who has made it this far in following my blog…you a real one. I feel like all of you deserve some sort of prize but since I spent all of my coins on sweaters in preparation for the fall (which never arrived), ya girl will just send you some “in spirit” type vibes. […]

Sips Tea: Lost Chick to Boss Chick


By

It’s that time of the year — the flu has settled in at every dorm and sorority house around campus, teachers are cramming papers and projects to be done before Thanksgiving Break, and we have a new president! Whether you were with her or with him, the country is definitely in for some big changes. Personally, […]

Impulsive freshman year decisions


By
 in ,
So far, my first semester of college has been a bit crazy. Wait, let me rephrase that: my first semester of college has consisted of ups and downs, but mostly of impulsive decisions. A month ago, I impulsively decided to chop seven inches off my hair. Yes, I wanted to do it for awhile, but the actual ordeal of […]

Daily Trojan’s Daily Poet: Hesitation


By
 in ,
This week is a continuation of last week’s poems, except some of them venture into feelings of hesitation. When you are falling for someone very quickly, it can be scary to continue. There is hesitation despite the fact that you know these feelings are certain. Eventually, you come to the conclusion that the relationship is real […]

Ask Hahney: Transferring & Friends


By

Q: I transferred here this semester as a junior and I feel like it’s very difficult to integrate into USC’s culture. Any advice? Over the last four years that I’ve been at USC, I can’t say that I understand USC’s culture. Therefore, it’s hard for me to touch upon how you can integrate into it. […]

The Problem with My High School Reading List


By
 in ,
Reading fiction has been my escape ever since I was young. With most of my childhood spent as an only child, my evenings were usually quiet affairs: I’d have my nose stuck in a book next to the fireplace while my parents’ nightly news on the TV provided ambient background noise. Entire universes opened up […]

Academia Nuts: Lavonna Lewis


By
 1 Comment/in ,
You won’t find Lavonna Lewis at a Trader Joe’s. It’s not because she is morally opposed to food samples, or that she has problem with their extensive supply of fresh fruits and vegetables. In fact, she would probably prefer if most markets had similarly healthy and accessible options.  But when Trader Joe’s officials basically told […]

Daily Trojan’s Daily Poet: Falling


By
 in ,
This week’s poems are about falling for someone and the intense feelings that are associated with a growing relationship. More importantly, they are about the connection between two people who care for each other. These feelings are not only sexual, but also spiritual and emotional. When you are falling in love with someone, there comes […]

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. First, if you have parents who support you… in any and/or all capacities, please remember to thank them. They’re probably just checking in on you (every hour or so) because they care. […]

Why I Appreciate Cloudy Days in LA


By
 in ,
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 […]
