Sarah recommends:

• Dance On
  I’ve been dancing since I was three. I actually didn’t even know what Song Girls were until I got here. We practice five days a week. We are at every football game and every home basketball game, and then we do a lot of other performances and appearances. So it’s a lot of time, a lot of hard work, but it’s been so worth it.
• Working It
  USC has so much available at the Career Center: all our libraries and online resources, all our counselors and career advisors, all the job fairs and the alumni network. I did an internship at “Who What Wear,” an online fashion magazine. It’s a hands-on experience that gives you a really good foundation to enter the workforce.
• Seeing Visions, Hearing Voices
  Through Visions and Voices, I went to Bill Nye the other night, which was great, and last year, I saw Savion Glover, who I watched tap dancing on “Sesame Street” when I was little. There’s always cool stuff going on.
• Watching the Clock
  Take advantage of all that is offered here and just enjoy your time here. I’m only a sophomore, but time really flies, and you have to soak it all in and take advantage of everything. All your classmates are so unique and talented, and there’s a lot to learn from your peers, from being in Los Angeles and from being at USC.
