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!
