Football Game

When I applied to USC and even when I decided to go to USC for college, I completely ignored the fact that this was a college known well for its football team. I just assumed that, even if it was important and all, I would be able to avoid it and continue studying or hanging out with friends. USC is incredible, not only for its education, but also for the athletic talent! The problem is that I lack the appreciation for that skill.

One would think that when applying for schools, I would have noticed how impressive USC's football record was, but I never even thought about sports when I was applying. In fact, my thoughts were mostly focused on prestige of the school. Now, I'm inside, occasionally looking at the football score, studying my European history while many others are off at the game. It just feels strange,I guess. It didn't bother me in high school, but now that I live at school, it's becoming more challenging to ignore things like this. Not only that, but I went with a friend to the science museum next to school because I didn't feel like doing work and all along the way I saw a whole bunch of tents set up with USC plastered on them. I'm sure I'll eventually get used to not caring much about football, but for now, it still feels strange.
