When I hear “women’s empowerment,” I think feminism. That’s natural, right? However, I do not consider myself a feminist. I mean, I think women are awesome (because, duh, I am one), but I’ve never been interested in the whole “feminism” movement. However, despite my somewhat indifferent views on feminism, I agreed to go to a “Sex Sells” meeting for SAVVY, a group for minority women working to improve their place at USC.

I have about an hour until the Fashion Board meeting starts. I’ve already showered, shaved—even combed my hair—and now I’m standing in front of my closet without the slightest clue what to wear. I should note that I’m a nearly 24-year-old guy who doesn’t give clothes much thought—until I’m supposed to go to a club meeting specifically about such things and begin to think that perhaps an old black Ramones T-shirt is not the best choice. After agonizing over it for 20 minutes or so, I pick a pair of jeans and a nicer shirt.

I kind of break the rules sometimes,” says Elle Olivia Andersen as she passionately explains her photographic technique. Whether she’s making acquaintances out of perfect strangers or developing an in-depth cultural spectacle for her next project, Andersen pushes boundaries in order to produce a depiction of culture unobserved by the casual eye.

For most college seniors, the last semester is a wild ride of living it up with friends and enjoying the final months of justifying reckless behavior. Ryan Stevens, instead, decided to write a play.

The lines on the screen move like heartbeats, jumping with every rise of emotion in sound and dipping with the absence of noise between drumbeats and guitar riffs. Different-colored rows move simultaneously, each with its own rhythm, measuring out melody in a readable pattern.

Gift exchanges are always fun, but the White Elephant variety is one of the best kinds. Creativity is a must when shopping for the perfect useless present, but if the holidays have you too frazzled to think, here are some suggestions that will make your gift a hit (or even better, a miss).

If you were to type the word “explorer” in a Google search bar, you would find a list of people who have been to specific locations that have never been fully investigated by technologically-advanced humans. Some examples include “Sir Francis Drake – The Caribbean,” “Juan Ponce de Leon – Florida” and “Buzz Lightyear – Infinity and Beyond.” But if an explorer is by definition “one who explores,” then anyone who simply tries something different could technically fit the description.

Ah, Tinder. Some say it’s just a place to find a quick hook-up, but sometimes, in between swipes, there is love to be found. Other times—well, at least there’s a good story.

Sarah Card* was walking from the USC campus to Five Points with friends around 10 p.m. on a Thursday night in September when three men surrounded them and demanded they get on the ground. At gunpoint, the men demanded the students hand over their valuables while Card, hiding her phone under her chest, began to dial 911.

Almost every USC student has woken up after a long night in Five Points to arguably the worst feeling in the world: a hangover. It’s too late to think about chugging water before bed, and since there’s no point in wallowing about what you should have done last night, the only thing left to do is go out for brunch. Slap a few makeup-removing wipes on your face, shake off your spinning cranium and head into the world to cure yourself the old fashioned way: greasy food (duh). Luckily for everyone, there are a lot of great options in Columbia that’ll solve any problems left over from the night before.

Three pairs of students stand at the front of the auditorium, squatting back-to-back with arms interlocked as seven others get ready to sit on them. We’re about to play musical human-chairs. I’m not sure if this is some PG-version of “The Human Centipede” or what, but it makes for quite the ridiculous image. I’m at a meeting for the Mountaineering and Whitewater Rafting Club in the Calcott building, where members meet every Monday at 8 p.m. It’s one of the first meetings of the year, and the entertainment is a silly way to break the ice. As soon as “Get Back” by Ludacris starts to play, the eliminations begin. A few songs and many uncomfortable moments later, a winner is crowned and the actual meeting begins.

It was 9 p.m. on a Wednesday, and I was on my way to play Quidditch.
