Gradspiration

By Grace Carballo ‘17

Last May, the Class of 2015 moved on to bigger and better things but they certainly made their mark, especially with their graduation photos. As the Class of 2016 begins their last semester at USC, they have a lot to start thinking about- their futures, ordering caps and sashes, and perhaps most importantly, how they will pose for their grad pics. Will they be able to live up to the high standard set by their predecessors? Only time will tell. For now, here’s a reprise of the 15 best #USCgrad photos posted by the Class of 2015.

1) the life lessons, just as valuable as the classroom ones

2) why be SCentimental when you could be SCelebrating?

3) Walk Your Bikes!

4) roll up to SCene

5)  pose perfection - (note the unsuspecting passerbys)

6) why so SCerious

7) ~one with the SCenery~

8) triumphant with Traveler

9) a throwBacK to Birnkrant

10) SCholarly until the very end

11) impressive pose consistency

12) less pose consistency, but impressive hat havoc

13) #sashtag

14) one reign ending, another rain beginning

(caption stolen from this #USCGrad, too good not to repeat)

15) may your education sustain you, as Taco Bell has

Wow, what a class!  I can’t wait to see what the Class of 2016 comes up with. Congratulations to all the winners and if you are wondering how I stumbled across your photo, your social media privacy settings may not be as good as you had hoped. 2016ers - if you want your photos considered remember to use #USCGrad, last year those that used the hashtag were displayed on the jumbotron at graduation. Fame could be yours, even if you’re not in the film school!

Have an iconic last semester, Class of 2016!

Fight on forever,

Grace
