I am way too tired to recount everything that happened at orientation, but basically, here's a couple thoughts:
-The USC marching band can play "Brooklyn." That's effing cool. Side note: I also heard "Sell Out" play through the stereo while I was in the bathroom.
-Person 1: At USC, I'm gonna do so many things! I'm gonna join student government, play intramural sports, join a gazillion clubs..."
Person 2: Whoa whoa whoa! You're going in way too fast, way too deep! ...That's what she said!
Person 3 (gay): Dude, let's not be inclusive. It's "that's what she/HE said."
-Student: I heard this lecture takes a really long time?
Hot Orientation Advisor: Yeah, seriously! I remember, it was soooooooooo long."
Student: That's what...she said?
*Awkward silence*
-Culture shock with the white boys. I stayed in a suite at Parkside Arts & Humanities. My roommate and suitemates were mostly huge buff white guys. At night, a suitemate came in and said, "Dudes, you wanna hang out?" I was just about say yes when my roommate replied, "Sure, what do you have?" Suitemate continues with a long list of alcohol. They ask if I want to join. I say," Nah, I'm good." At least they were nice about it; they didn't try to pressure me or anything. Then, while I was starting to sleep, the white guys started getting loud in the next room. My roommate came over and closed the door so I could get some sleep. 5 minutes later, he came back again to get some shuteye as well. *Aww moment*
I discovered that I'm really bad at memorizing names off the bat. I must've met at least 50 people during orientation, but I don't remember most of their names anymore. There's this one girl who I still remember, mainly because her name's Whitney. She's pretty cool. She's been playing the flute for 8 years, plays in several youth orchestras, and is a Flute Performance major at USC next year. Which means she must be freaking good, although she insists she rarely practices. But anyways, I love it when I meet people with whom I share a common background. It just makes conversations so much easier to start.
That's all I can remember at the moment. I'll probably update this if anything else comes up (that's what she said...just for you Eric).
*UPDATE* There is a Vincent Chen in the USC c/o 2012. As well as an Allen Chen. And a Katherine Julius (which I mistook to be Katherine Junus at first).
