U.S.C.'s fall term started yesterday. Campus was so crowded you could barely move. "It wasn't like this last semester," a classmate noted. That's true. Spring semester was our first semester at U.S.C. and there weren't nearly this many people walking around. We decided that by the time the spring semester rolls around all the undergrads' good intentions give way to casual sex and Jagermeister. I actually hope that happens by the end of the month, because I can't take these crowds.

Everyone is so well-dressed. Last semester it seemed like everyone was wearing sweatpants and frat/sorority t-shirts every day. Yesterday there was lots of Gucci and Prada -- lots of oversized sunglasses and ugly designer purses. It's kind of cute and charming that they put that much effort into looking cool. It would probably annoy me more if I thought it was going to last longer than a week.
