13 Things Trojans Would Rather Do Than Attend UCLA

We'd rather sleep through gameday than bleed anything other than Cardinal & Gold

13 Things Trojans Would Rather Do Than Attend UCLA
Viterbi Voices

USC is a dynasty. We're the top private employer in Los Angeles, we're the backdrop for every State Farm commercial, our students are taught by James Franco, and Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine funded a state-of-the-art recording academy on campus. And have you seen the new dance school? It's Juilliard 2.0.

Oh, and we're Rose Bowl champs. Need I go on?

While there are plenty of things Trojans spend their time doing -- like winning gold medals at every Summer Olympics since 1912, getting nominated for an Oscar every year since the Academy Awards' inception in 1929, or simply laying out in the quad when that LA weather warrants a study break to work on our tans -- here are 13 things we'd rather do than attend UCLA.

1. Drive a friend to LAX

During rush hour. Without a FasTrak. For your friend who doesn't do Venmo.

2. Spend $15 on a salad at Seeds

Because it’s not really a Southwest Salad without adding avocado, swapping the chicken for tofu, and taking out the beans and corn. Oh, and lite dressing on the side, please.

3. Take Friday 8 am classes

All four years of college. That's 8 semesters. That's 128 Fridays. And that's oh so telling.

4. Stand in an absurdly long line at TroGro

We'll spend all the days in line, as long as we don't have to do it wearing baby blue and pastel yellow.

5. Talk to civil rights activists near Campus Center

Not that civil rights aren’t v important, but me getting to a class I’m paying $12k for is also v important.

6. Eat at EVK forever

Now that’s sacrifice.

7. Miss every GAMEDAY to study

Because even with your nose in the books, being a Trojan is still more fun.

8. Find an open cardio machine at Lyon during "peak hours"

You think I can workout without an elliptical and a TV? Puhlease.

9. Live in South Central Los Angeles

Oh, wait… we already do that.

10. Wait for the UV to be finished

We're dying with anticipation, but you'll be dying of jealousy once you see our humble little "village." #Fall2017

11. Attend Cal State LA

We hear it's the #1 ranked public university in Los Angeles...

12. Listen to a Bruin talk about how much they love UCLA

We’d rather listen to you talk than actually have to be you

13. Pay $70k/year in Trojan Tuition

Because the Trojan Family is worth it every single penny. Right, Mom and Dad?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
