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?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
