Before you start bragging about the new babysitting gig you just got, you should hear about Kristin Whittaker’s job. Whittaker is a senior at USC who scored a broadcasting position at ESPNU. I met up with Whittaker to learn the ins and outs of what many would consider their “dream job,” and what a day in the life of an ESPNU employee looks like.
Since I’ve been in college, I’ve found that students have one common concern — food.

With that one magnificent machine, the microwave, you can satisfy your cravings with this easy mug dessert, no Pinterest required.

In high school, Anna Velicky’s first screen-printing endeavor was a silkscreen T-shirt of the cover art for a Marilyn Manson album. It was the kind of T-shirt she couldn’t find stocked in the stores of her hometown, Florence, South Carolina, whose horror-punk scene remains largely underground.
Walk the long footbridge towards Bates West. Look left, and you'll see a giant wooden structure surrounded by residence halls, train tracks, Blatt and the band grounds. The high ropes course, also known as the Alpine Tower, is one of the coolest places on campus. I got to scale the tower for the first time in September.
To the observer, parkour has aesthetically pleasing movement that appears to require limited effort. However, there is a wide repertoire of skills and experiences that lead to a successful landing.
In the world of college students, food trucks have become almost as trendy as calling an Uber and rocking white high-top Converse. Mobile dining, food on wheels — whatever you want to call it — we are just as obsessed as the next person. In the past year, these trucks have been popping up all over Columbia at farmers markets, special events and on the side of Gervais Street. Which trucks are worthy of your time?t was my job to find out.
There once was a taxidermy beaver that lived in Five Points. It sat perched high above the crowds at Pinch, greeting everyone who came through looking for a shot or cheap beer. It looked out on the mob with its blank stare, seemingly content in its home.
One of the cutest and coziest trends in decorating is the indoor plant. Adding some green to your dorm or apartment is a simple way to give your place an earthy, bohemian vibe without breaking the bank. With a wide range of colors and sizes, there’s a plant for everyone that will fit their style.

H3RO has been born in the Columbia hip-hop scene. USC alumnus Justin Daniels, also known by his stage name H3RO, is bringing a certain flavor to the underground scene, one that will be further savored with his new album “Between the Panels,” which is set to drop this summer.
It had always been my understanding that half of what was taught in art classes was the technique of seeming as despondent and enigmatic as possible. There was definitely no room for smiles and Nike shorts in my art mental set. Yet, standing in front of me, junior Shaina Manuel challenged everything I thought I knew about “artists.”
I haven’t seen the sun in three days. And for the 100th time this week, I think about ending it all. A slit to the wrist? No. Sharp objects scare me. But the pills upstairs… I could easily swallow 10 too many, fall asleep and never wake up. My eyes flit to an overhead light and focus dully on its brightness. None of it matters, I think. I am a dog, and someone should put me down.
It’s almost summertime. Single folks, you know what that means: time to look for that elusive, seemingly mythical summer love. Whether you eye your mermaid (or merman) emerging from the surf during your beach vacation, notice an old friend from high school has suddenly gotten attractive or feel the spark with a coworker at your summer internship, love (or at least lust) is in the air. But most of these flings end up cooling with the weather. The bright summer sun can get in your eyes when the romantic heat starts to rise. These fast and furious affairs and attempts at love may not always work, but they sure do leave you with some good stories — which is just what happened with these Gamecocks. *Names have been changed to save these people from reliving that embarrassing summer love hangover.
