9 Things You Miss About USC Over The Summer

Daily Trojan

School is out, and for many of us, and that means going home for the summer. Being home is great, but those of us who go to the best school in the world (USC, obviously) start missing it pretty quickly. Here’s what we miss the most:

1. The people

You miss being surrounded by a bunch of super smart people who come from so any different places. And the best part? Many of them have just as much school spirit as you do.

2. The food

Los Angeles has the best food. Period. No matter what kind of food you want, you can probably find it by just driving a few minutes downtown.

3. Amazebowls

To be more specific, you miss Amazebowls…aka the best acai bowls on the planet. Even though having an Amazebowls truck on campus can be dangerous for your wallet, we all know it’s worth it.

4. The weather

There’s nothing better than walking down Trousdale on a sunny day. The weather is almost always perfect in LA, and you can’t say the same for your hometown.

5. Gamedays

Putting on your song girl skirt and getting ready to rally is the best part of every Saturday in the fall. The good news is that we’re less than 3 months away!

6. The Fight Song

Speaking of game days, we all miss hearing the fight song. As cheesy as it sounds, this song has become one of you favorites. You miss the immediate joy you feel every time you hear the band playing it.

7. Nightlife

Okay, let’s face it…USC doesn’t have the best nightlife in the world. But LA does! We all miss having so many places to go out to on a Friday/Saturday night. At home, staying in and watching Netflix on the weekends is a common occurrence.

8. Fruber

We’re all thinking it: free Uber is one of the best things our USC tuition pays for. You quickly realized that having to drive everywhere at home is not as fun as you remembered.

9. The classes

You may not miss the homework, but just admit it…you miss at least some of your classes. USC has so many amazing classes with interesting subjects and world-renowned professors. How could you not miss that?!

Thank you, USC, for giving us a home away from home.

We can’t wait to be back in the fall!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
