We’re continuing our check-in with our new student bloggers! Up today is Karissa Montania…
“Hey, It’s Karissa Montania again! So far, my semester at USF is going really well! I decided to pledge for Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed service fraternity. I am also getting into routine of my classes, even though I’ve been walking up to Lone Mountain twice every other day!

During my first few months here, I have gone down to Clement Street a couple of times with friends to get dim sum and have continued to explore the city. I also attended Treasure Island Music Festival and got to see bands such as Empire of The Sun, YACHT, and Cut Copy perform! I also went to the Legion of Honor museum, participated in the Breast Cancer walk in Golden Gate Park and surprised my friend for her birthday in her dorm room!
Happy Birthday!
The weather here is definitely different than expected, because I thought it would be cold and windy in San Francisco 24/7, but it surprise me when we would have the hot, sunny days where I could wear shorts!
My goals for the rest of the semester is to keep up with my studying in classes and find more places to eat in the city! I was introduced to Off the Grid, which is a food truck stop with a variety of choices for food such as Crème Brulee, macaroons, cupcakes, friend noodles, potstickers and much more!”

Thanks Karissa! So glad to hear that your first semester here is going well!
