Describe your college experience
It’s been very exciting, eventful, busy, and fun. USC had a lot of welcome events, and has a lot of networking/career events now, so there is always something going on somewhere here! The people here are amazing too. Lots of interesting stories and backgrounds! I’ve loved my professors and classes, and the work has been challenging which I love. I joined some teams/clubs which has been fun too because the communities and events/opportunities are amazing.
Favorite class
I’ve loved my introduction to aerospace engineering class!! It’s challenging, but a great way to learn about the major and see what it’s really like. I’m also taking a Pilates class which is a nice and relaxing break from engineering.
Career goals
Honestly not too sure yet, but definitely going into aerospace engineering! Currently interested in aerodynamics, structures design, and sustainability in aerospace.
Ideal way to spend a free night
What a rare occurrence ahahah. I would have a movie night or some outing with friends. And relax. And get some good sleep.
