Goodbye!

Hi. I didn't like my new lighting setup. How much? So I've decided to shield my face with the visor. I think it looks better to me than it does for you. So I'm gonna take it off and so we don't do product placement, no. Kurt Vonnegut is not helping you stand out very much, my friends. He's not do better, Mr Humble brag, by the way, I think. Well, I had a really good time showing you guys around us. Um, you know, when I wass applying to colleges, I we should talk about this in my talk with Joyce, but I applied to I'm gonna just I applied to eleven schools and USC and you were the only two I applied to on the West Coast and I was like on the East Coast East Coaster bust. I have to go to the East Coast and then I got rejected. I was really upset, um, and I'd always sort of been I am sort of a spiritual person. So I figured that, you know, whatever needed to happen, what happened? And then, um, I went to the hospital for a I had tricky itis, so my windpipe closed. Then I also had flu B, which was like the strain that they didn't vaccinate against. So I was in the hospital probie, or something in the i C U. And then I'm somewhere else because I also had just a triple. It was a triple header because it was the flu, tricky itis and, um, corona virus. I was stuck in the ice you when people came to visit me, they had to were like masks and stuff, and it was crazy. Um, so anyway, the day I get back from the hospital, there's just box waiting for me. I was like, Oh, it's just more promotional stuff. Why do I need like it's February? Why am I getting promotional stuff? Still, I applied, but I still wants from some schools there like it's not too late. So I figured I mean, USC was the last school I applied to. Then that box said, Welcome to the Trojan family And ever since I knew that I made the right choice because I have never been happier than I am here. I'm trying to make a sentimental and I can't even see words. The people at USC are scaring scary, frighteningly gorgeous. The quality people that I have met here has exceeded my expectations. I, um, so happy with the choice I made to go here, and I can't really see myself having been Have you got going anywhere else? I got in, too. A school that I thought was my dream school after being wait listed. Then I realized that that wasn't where I was supposed to be. For sat on in my head, I was like, for some reason, USC is where I'm supposed to be. I don't know why I have to go the West Coast, but that's how it's going to be. Then it turns out that that was definitely definitely the right choice. So I think it's because of my spoiler alert family on my suspenders, family, my dorm family and my theater family that I've been ableto have a such a successful first semester so far. It's only the second semester right now, which is crazy, but I'm Yeah, I'm just really happy with USC. And I hope that if you decide to apply here, or if you have applied here, thanks you will be too. Um and also just remember, because something I had trouble remembering during the college application process is that it doesn't matter. I put so much weight on getting into Yale, and I was like, I have to get into Yale car honk. It was like I have to get into you because that's like, you know, it won't be cool because my cousin once went to Brown and my other cousin wanted Georgetown is that I have to go to you. Then I was like, It doesn't actually matter where I go as long as I can find my people and at USC for me, I found my people very easily, but for some people that might be somewhere else. That might be, I don't know anywhere else, but I would say, don't put a huge emphasis on where you go to college As long as you know that you'll be happy there and also that you know that it's OK to change once you've been there. If you don't like it, because that's what college is about. So with those words, I think I am going to sign off. I wish you the best of luck in every application and essay and interview that you have for the first sample future fight on.
