Not many can say they've had the chance to study their favorite artist within an academic setting, but this semester it came true. And in light of that, here's my final project for my Springsteen class:.@springsteen.

Why I do it ๐ต๐ญ.
10-year-old Izzy Lao attended her first USC WBB game today. Talked to her mother Marielle โ said her daughter, who is Filipino, was overjoyed to find out Kayla Padilla was Filipino and to see someone that looked like her on the court. Took this pic with @kaylacp_ pregame:

I came into college just having completely changed my jump shot, leaving me doubtful about how good this part of my game could ever become. Needless to say, this one means a lot. Time to bounce back and finish off this season strong.

This one means a lot to me. Attempting to sum up the life of a legend like Kobe is nearly impossible, but it's only right to play a part in perpetuating his everlasting legacy, even if it be with a simple article. Give it a read if you can:

I would always tease @Noey_Quinn and list her accomplishments on her office white board so visitors felt blessed to be in the presence of greatness. We're adding one more to the ongoing list: UCLA Hall of Famer. Proud to be a small piece in your life's story. Congrats, Coach!

I went to a Chance concert last Tuesday. I had an APUSH test the next day. The score I got on that test was the highest one Iโve received thus far. Therefore, I need to go to concerts in order to get good grades. #NameThatFallacy.

Loved this quote at media day from @PennWBB head coach @MikeMcLaughli on "replacing" former star guard @kaylacp_. Padilla was one of the best players in program history and a 3x First Team All-Ivy selection. She's now playing as a grad transfer @USCWBB. @TheNextHoops #NCAAWBB

Fun fact: my first time watching ET when I was 6 or 7, I sobbed when ET left for space. Bawling out of control, I hid myself in the bathroom so no one would see me in my inconsolable state. I was so devastated to the point where I had to miss my basketball game.
