One Month of Weekends

I’m embarking on the end of week four of my junior year (yeah weird that I’m officially OVER halfway done with college) and so far, I’ve had some pretty epic weekends at USC and in LA. Here’s a recap for ya:

Weekend 1 (August 26th-27th)

Watched USC football dominate against San Jose State (fight on)

Weekend 2 (September 2nd-4th)

Labor Day Weekend (yayyy!)
Football game against Nevada (another W)
