Describe your college experience

I got accepted to USC after I graduated high school in 2020, but I deferred for a year and a half and ended up starting college in spring of 2022. My experience as a spring admit especially after taking a gap year was a little uncomfortable at first, but I soon got adjusted and made some good friends. My time at USC has definitely had its ups and downs, but overall I'm happy with where I am and the opportunities I've had because of it.

Favorite class

CTPR 290-- Cinematic Communication! It gave me my first experiences with having a leadership role in production and seeing my writing come to life on screen. It was a lot of work and difficult at times, but so much fun and such a rewarding experience.
