We'd rather sleep through gameday than bleed anything other than Cardinal & Gold

13 Things Trojans Would Rather Do Than Attend UCLA
Viterbi Voices

USC is a dynasty. We're the top private employer in Los Angeles, we're the backdrop for every State Farm commercial, our students are taught by James Franco, and Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine funded a state-of-the-art recording academy on campus. And have you seen the new dance school? It's Juilliard 2.0.

Oh, and we're Rose Bowl champs. Need I go on?

While there are plenty of things Trojans spend their time doing -- like winning gold medals at every Summer Olympics since 1912, getting nominated for an Oscar every year since the Academy Awards' inception in 1929, or simply laying out in the quad when that LA weather warrants a study break to work on our tans -- here are 13 things we'd rather do than attend UCLA.

1. Drive a friend to LAX

During rush hour. Without a FasTrak. For your friend who doesn't do Venmo.

2. Spend $15 on a salad at Seeds

Because it’s not really a Southwest Salad without adding avocado, swapping the chicken for tofu, and taking out the beans and corn. Oh, and lite dressing on the side, please.

3. Take Friday 8 am classes

All four years of college. That's 8 semesters. That's 128 Fridays. And that's oh so telling.

4. Stand in an absurdly long line at TroGro

We'll spend all the days in line, as long as we don't have to do it wearing baby blue and pastel yellow.

5. Talk to civil rights activists near Campus Center

Not that civil rights aren’t v important, but me getting to a class I’m paying $12k for is also v important.

6. Eat at EVK forever

Now that’s sacrifice.

7. Miss every GAMEDAY to study

Because even with your nose in the books, being a Trojan is still more fun.

8. Find an open cardio machine at Lyon during "peak hours"

You think I can workout without an elliptical and a TV? Puhlease.

9. Live in South Central Los Angeles

Oh, wait… we already do that.

10. Wait for the UV to be finished

We're dying with anticipation, but you'll be dying of jealousy once you see our humble little "village." #Fall2017

11. Attend Cal State LA

We hear it's the #1 ranked public university in Los Angeles...

12. Listen to a Bruin talk about how much they love UCLA

We’d rather listen to you talk than actually have to be you

13. Pay $70k/year in Trojan Tuition

Because the Trojan Family is worth it every single penny. Right, Mom and Dad?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
