5 Things All Journalism Majors At USC Know To Be True

I know all majors have amazing opportunities and staff and things as well but the J-School definitely takes the cake for — in my opinion — the best school at the university. Yeah I’m biased, for sure. What’s even better is that you hear about the journalism school so much more because we’re all writers (HA HA)!


1. Best Labs On Campus

Every time my Carolina Card makes that door handle turn green I get a happy feeling in my heart. I’m a journalism student and I get access to the best labs on campus baby! Every program you need, you can get it on these babies. Also, you can pull all-nighters with the best snack machines on campus too, woot-woot.

2. Media Law

Depending on which professor you were able to get, this class could be hell or a deeper version of hell. If you dare to print out all of the cases you need to know, your stack will resemble the new tax bill that no one actually read. May the odds be ever in your favor!

3. One Word: Frank

At some point we all have to check out some kind of equipment from good ole Frank and his minions on the second floor of the J-School. In this event you’ve either: almost cried because Frank is scary, waited for a good 20 minutes, not waited at all, or caught the best of our good pal Frank and had a great laugh!

4. jOb CoNnEcTiOnS

The J-school takes a lot of pride in their alumni. With their names, graduation dates, and current job positions displayed all around the building on monitors, they really appreciate how far they’ve gone. Alumni come back and talk, help with projects, and do everything they can to help us, current students, out. By chance, a news anchor I interviewed happened to be in the exact class and had done the exact project I was doing when I interviewed her. How cool! They provide a vast network for students to have jobs and internships easily when needed too.

5. Opportunities

There is literally so much you can do and be apart of in the journalism world. The amazing staff send us weekly emails packed with different opportunities from internships, jobs, experience work and really anything they can get their hands on. They really want to help you out. #Blessed

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
