<p>I mean, come on guys...This is the University of Southern California. The home of the Trojan family. Known for great actors, businessmen, and some decent football players.</p>

<p>We should have a sense of community and get to know each other a little bit.</p>

<p>My AIM SN is nellaidimap.
I live in Florida.
