College Visits: University of Southern California

Recently I took a trip to the University of Southern California. I am going to be a senior in high school this up coming school year and I am considering this school as one of my choices.
The campus is beyond beautiful. It is filled with elegant buildings that makes you feel like this could be a Harry Potter movie. It is filled with trees and patches of grass where friends can hangout or cram for a test. The campus, while it is a big school, is close together so it doesn't take too long getting from one class to another. On campus, there is a wide variety of food selections, interesting sporting and art events that are always happening, over 700 clubs, and a 24/7 library and Starbucks. Off campus, there is LA Live (featuring the Staples Center, shopping, food, and dozens of other activities) which is accessible via the Metro, which stops right at the campus. The campus is also located a few minutes out of downtown LA and about 30 minutes driving from the beach, giving a full selection of activities outside the classroom.
The classes are even more amazing. They have some of the top schools, with a multitude of majors and minors to choose from, with the ability to mix and match with the different schools within the university. The class size is an average 24 students with a faculty ratio of 9:1, so even though there are so many people you won't get lost in the crowd. USC has one of the highest international student percentages and there are people from all over country, providing diversity and an opening to uniques experiences. Financial need is merit and need based, with many of the students getting financial aid since the total cost is about $60,000 a year.
I loved this school. I even bought 2 notebooks (which are featured in these pictures) with the school on them because I loved it so much. Everything from the people, to the sports, to the classes, to LA and the weather. I am concerned that the price tag may be a little steep, but I am hoping to still apply with the opportunity of getting financial aid.

Kick Off The New Year

Happy New Year Everyone! I can't believe it's already been a year. It's crazy to think about how time goes by so fast. But I'm looking forward to this year. I get to hang out with my friends more, I'll start my senior year, all of my favorite shows will be starting again and I'll turn 18. Yet I still want to make this year more special. So I have decided to create some New Year's Resolutions. I do this every year and every year I say I will stick to them. Of course we all know that never happens. But I'm committed this year. I am determined.

To start off my resolutions I would like to workout more, a typical resolution. I'm not trying to lose that much weight, maybe a pound or two, but I really want to get toned, build muscle and become more healthy. I have also started a workout journal to record my exercise everyday, as well as set goals for myself every month. I also would like to stretch everyday and hopefully by the end of the year I will be able to do the splits. I also want to eat healthier since my current diet consists of nothing  but junk food.

Next I would like to be more organized. I want to keep my room completely clean, organize all my school supplies, and sort through my closet. I want to have a place for everything and keep everything in it's place. When I go to look for something, it should be in it's place. I also need to stop buying more clothes or my closet will explode.

For me, I would like to do more of the things I like to do. Every weekend I would like to watch at least one movie or a couple episodes of a series on Netflix. I would also like to paint my nails every week. I am going to dress better instead of wearing a t-shirt and jeans everyday. I would like to look better. I'm going to try to hang out with my friends more often, at least once a month. I am also going to say yes more. Instead of making up excuses, I'm just going to go with the flow. I'm going to have more fun and have a good time. I need to stop caring about what others think and just do whatever I want.

And my final resolution is to have a kick ass year.
