Everyone's USC journey is different, but we all have certain events, feelings, and experiences that unite us. Since school is starting in less than a month, here are 15 things that all Trojans can relate to:

1. Being super excited for the new University Village to open up

Target, Trader Joes, Wahlburgers, a new dining hall, new dorms, and more!

2. Counting down the days until the first football game

WAKE UP IT'S GAME DAY!

3. Going to Spudnuts, Chanos (AKA El Huero), Panda Express, or all of the above after a night of partying

Or really, any of the restaurants on Figueroa that are open late.

4. Pulling at least one all-nighter in Leavey Library

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

5. Affectionately referring to our community ambassadors as "yellow jackets"

Thank you, yellow jackets, for keeping us safe.

6. Knowing that we run LA

No explanation needed.

7. Being hyped for rivalry week so we can crush the bruins once again

FUCLA.

8. Living for tailgates

Even though not everyone makes it to the games, tailgates are always a blast.

9. Knowing that cardinal and gold is the best color combination of all time

It's not red and yellow, it's cardinal and gold.

10. Taking fruber because you don't feel like walking

Free Uber from 7PM-2AM has to be the best thing ever.

11. Having a marching band that has two platinum records

The Spirit of Troy is truly the greatest marching band in the history of the universe.

12. Viewing the "peace" hand sign as a "V for victory"

It will never be a peace sign again, no matter what anyone says.

13. Adopting "fight on" as your unofficial life motto

It really applies to everything.

14. Missing USC during summer break

Don't get me wrong, summer break is great, but we can't help but miss our school sometimes.

15. Knowing how lucky we are to go to such an amazing university

We really wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
