Going to school in Los Angeles is, in many ways, like being part of a giant Hollywood film. Out here, the sun is always shining, and you don't go too many days without spotting a celebrity. So when I think back on my recently completed stay at the University of Southern California, I think in cinematic terms. My movie starts with a girl, a classic California blonde. I had just transferred from Syracuse University in blizzard-beaten upstate New York. Shortly after we met, she persuaded me to audition for her a capella group, the SoCal VoCals. I figured anything that would increase my chances with this girl was worth a shot.
At first, my plan went perfectly. I got in and we started getting along better than ever. But then came the inevitable heartbreak—the girl graduated and moved to New York. Gone. Out of my life forever. So there I was, an East Coast boy in L.A. with the California girl of my dreams 3,000 miles away—and that's when the real fun began.
