“Night-life-wise, USC is a lovely place to be. And by night life,” I don’t mean the Palo Alto version of Netflix, trips to CREAM and the aimless drives all over town until God grants us desperate teenagers with an open house. I hope everyone applies to USC....
Disclaimer: This is not a serious essay. With seniors hard at work on essays, I wanted to provide a more humorous interpretation.
While I tell you this story reader, I want you to imagine me as an old man with a white beard who sits by the fire in a fuzzy robe. Whenever I use an adjective I will stroke...

The Oracle: How does this apply to your class?
Bill Dunbar: We've been learning about projectile motion, {like} when a cart
shoots a ball up in the air and lands in the cart.

Sometime after I graduated from eighth grade, Facebook statuses started to slowly disappear. No one posted about their weird day or updated people on their silly revelations. People stopped writing each other the classic “truth is: I don’t know you very well but you seem really...

1. KGB does not just stand for the former Soviet secret police. Instead, it’s the loving nickname for our advisor, Ms. Blackburn.
2. You regretfully eat Costco pizza two nights of every month. However, you’ll still gladly eat cold leftovers the next day.

What is good music? How can one declare that one four-minute track of sound waves is better than another? What makes the Beatles better than Miley Cyrus? It’s always been a mystery to me. I was sitting one day, listening to the classic “Life on Mars” by David Bowie; goosebumps were running up and...
Ever notice how you never see superheroes procrastinate? I mean, you’ve probably never heard Batman say, “Only minutes to save Gotham from nuclear destruction? Sounds urgent… but I wonder what’s in the fridge....” I’ve always thought that if movie directors really wanted to make a...
Admit it: when you feel sad, binge watching shows is your therapy. Whether it’s seeing Ross and Rachel get back together and break up again on “Friends” or being reminded continuously on “How I Met Your Mother” that you hate Ted and his constant whining (seriously Ted, get it together), TV...
