5 Things All Journalism Majors At USC Know To Be True

I know all majors have amazing opportunities and staff and things as well but the J-School definitely takes the cake for — in my opinion — the best school at the university. Yeah I’m biased, for sure. What’s even better is that you hear about the journalism school so much more because we’re all writers (HA HA)!


1. Best Labs On Campus

Every time my Carolina Card makes that door handle turn green I get a happy feeling in my heart. I’m a journalism student and I get access to the best labs on campus baby! Every program you need, you can get it on these babies. Also, you can pull all-nighters with the best snack machines on campus too, woot-woot.

2. Media Law

Depending on which professor you were able to get, this class could be hell or a deeper version of hell. If you dare to print out all of the cases you need to know, your stack will resemble the new tax bill that no one actually read. May the odds be ever in your favor!

3. One Word: Frank

At some point we all have to check out some kind of equipment from good ole Frank and his minions on the second floor of the J-School. In this event you’ve either: almost cried because Frank is scary, waited for a good 20 minutes, not waited at all, or caught the best of our good pal Frank and had a great laugh!

4. jOb CoNnEcTiOnS

The J-school takes a lot of pride in their alumni. With their names, graduation dates, and current job positions displayed all around the building on monitors, they really appreciate how far they’ve gone. Alumni come back and talk, help with projects, and do everything they can to help us, current students, out. By chance, a news anchor I interviewed happened to be in the exact class and had done the exact project I was doing when I interviewed her. How cool! They provide a vast network for students to have jobs and internships easily when needed too.

5. Opportunities

There is literally so much you can do and be apart of in the journalism world. The amazing staff send us weekly emails packed with different opportunities from internships, jobs, experience work and really anything they can get their hands on. They really want to help you out. #Blessed

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
