Baseball. America’s game. Not really anymore but we still say it to make us feel better about ourselves. Baseball is absolutely lovely sport that is one of my absolute favorites. USC’s Baseball team started in the top 25 in the nation when it had it’s season opener last Friday (they lost to North Dakota, so I don’t know if they are anymore) and it’s a great way to support your school, while not traveling off campus. USC Baseball’s home is Dedeaux field, which is across the street from the KAP building. I know it’s a walk but after reading this blog, you’ll want to be there every time there’s a home game because you are gonna understand baseball. GET READY.

The absolutely wonderful thing about living in Los Angeles and going to USC is how close you are to Downtown LA and the opportunities are really endless. A couple weekends ago (January 28-30th), I decided to get out of the USC bubble and go around and see what’s new in the outside world, which I would encourage everyone to do.

Another week, another lesson in a sport I find really cool. Tennis is my family’s sport of choice. Both of my parents still play, my sister was the captain in high school, and my brother’s being recruited for D3 in college. You can imagine my parents faces when I told them in 4th grade that, after a year, I didn’t want to play anymore and wanted to take up competitive cheerleading. I was the black sheep at that point.

You’ve heard of the 3 majors sports in the US: Football, baseball, and basketball. Other countries just make fun of us so much because our football isn’t the same as their football. But hey! We have other sports that we care about too! One sport that we all were forced to play in elementary school (and some of still enjoy watching) is basketball. Plus, with the Home USC vs. UCLA game coming up on February 4th at 7:30pm at the Galen Center, I thought i would be a necessary blog to go over the basics of basketball.

You’re reading this because you probably saw this is on Facebook shared by me or posted originally on Trojans 360. This is a blog (and the sky is blue). I was one of the co-founders of this blog for USC Communications and the University itself. I had no idea what I was doing at that point. I had a lot of opinions. I had a tumblr blog of my own for 4 years but it was mostly for reblogging harry potter gifs.

Have you guys ever seen that Little Caesar’s commercial where the dad says “We’re going offffff the grid” and they turn into a caveman family? If not, I think I described it pretty accurately. If you have, we both watch too much television. Either way, this is what I assumed a 24 hour technology/media would be like and I was scared. I couldn’t check FACEBOOK. I couldn’t watch FOOTBALL. I couldn’t watch NETFLIX. What is a millennial to do?

Unfortunately, our winter break is almost coming to an end. With all of our holidays over and the new year beginning, going back to USC is inevitable and a fun challenge awaiting us. But, alas, it is bittersweet. Winter Break is a great way to destress after the fall semester and I have created a list for y’all to make sure your winter break ends with a bang.

Christmas time is here! Well, it has been here for a while but now we get to celebrate with all the other people who recognize this holiday! While I celebrated with my Trojan Family before I left for break, we can still share the Trojan spirit during this holiday season. And lucky for you, I have the best list of gifts for any current Trojan, past Trojan, or Trojan fan.
