I just finished a rigorous semester at USC. At USC the architecture program started out with some very abstract ideas and slowly became more literal throughout the semester. In the architecture program I have had the opportunity to design/build models, draft, and learn a tremendous amount of information about important architects of the past and future.

Overall, I have had a good experience in college, despite the fact that I have not got as much sleep as I would have liked (due to the workload). In college I have been able to benefit from both a social and academic standpoint. In the future I hope to obtain my Bachelor’s of Architecture degree and become an architect, or do something related with the design world (via set design/special effects for movies or product design).
