We all know that L.A. is supposedly a city obsessed with health, a city with a juice bar on every corner and one Soul Cycle per neighborhood. At USC, however, you wouldn’t be able to tell you live in the same city as Gwyneth Paltrow. At USC, we are surrounded on all sides by Jack in the Box, McDonald's, Panda Express, Taco Bell, Five Guys, Chick-fil-A, Subway, and Carl’s Jr., just to name a few. And they’re all on one street! Might as well rename Figueroa "Fat-ueroa," the boulevard of broken scales. It can be hard to eat healthy and stay healthy, especially when here you consider Chipotle to be nutritious and the only juice bar at USC is mediocre at best (sorry, Nekter!). The gang of "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia" perfectly describes the constant dilemma of eating in college, between wanting to be healthy and wanting to indulge.

1. When you come up with any excuse you can to eat Panda Express

The Cream Cheese Rangoons are only 190 calories? So healthy!

2. And use any excuse you can to not eat an apple

How can I know if Seeds fruit is organic??

3. When you finally go out to a nice restaurant away from campus and don’t know what to do with yourself


4. When you cheat on your diet and do some things you’re not proud of

5. When your friend tells you about a weird new food trend and you’re skeptical if it actually works

6. When you decide to give up that one unhealthy food you love

7. Your reaction when someone questions your eating habits

Why do you care if I eat my entire Blaze pizza in less than 10 minutes?

8. When people try to get you to eat new cuisines

No, for the last time I don’t want to try kimchi.

9. When you go to a new exercise class and actually like it

"Guys, I’m like actually really into Pilates now."

10. When CVS is out of Tostitos Hint of Lime chips

11. When you run out of snacks in your room and you’re too lazy to buy more

12. When the dining hall doesn’t satisfy your culinary needs so you have to think creatively

Face it, you can only handle so much EVK.

13. When you go on a hike for the first time this semester

14. Trying to relate to vegans

15. When you get nervous about eating dinner two hours before a party

16. When you want to bring your lunch to class but you’re not sure if the professor will notice and get mad

17. When you go home for the holidays and your parents start asking you about the freshman 15

18. When people act surprised when they see you at the gym

19. When people think they’re “too good” for 2 a.m. Domino's

(No one is too good for 2 a.m. Domino's.)

20. When the Postmates delivery fee is over $10

Why is life worth living if my delivery from Urth Caffé is $40?! It’s the only way I can eat healthy!

21. And finally, when you give up on trying to eat healthy and just accept how muscular you are

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
