Mediocre College Selfies

April 23, 2017 By: Summer Samba37 Comments

somali cat at USC

I got to go back to USC this past week as one of my therapy cat visits. The students, I guess, really like me — they even Instagrammed in advance that I would be there! After we finished, my human and I stopped in a building on the way back to the Metrorail, and I decided to take this week’s selfie shots there.

I wanted to see if I could get the USC seal in the background!

Well, that was easier said than done! I started off with totally the wrong angle.

I still need to move the iPhone over a little bit, don’t I?

Oops, I closed my eyes when I took the photo. Don’t you hate when that happens?

Well, that didn’t work out very well! I’ll have to try to get the seal in next time I visit.

    That plant growing out of your furry head made us giggle…reminded petcretary of a chia head…sorry, but we had to tell you why we were giggling, MOL! It is cute though!

    Your selfies are really not *that* bad you know. Sometimes we take hundreds of bad ones to get one or two good ones…

    Summer, I like your selfie and your “oops” selfies. When I first saw that top photo, I thought you were wearing a hat with green leaves.

    You did pretty good with your selfies, Summer! That’s pretty exciting you get to go to USC! Our mommy went there for a tax competition while in grad school. She pet John Lithgow’s dogs but she would’ve been way less stressed during the 8 hour competition if she’d got to pet you!

    Never mind, Summer. It looks like a very difficult angle to get the seal in. I thought you were wearing a fascinator in the first photo.

    You always go to such great places for your selfies. Now if it wasn’t for that pesky pot plant growing out behind you, that first selfie would have been the one. Pot plant or not, you are always a delight to see.

    OH Summer. How exciting. Are you going to show us some interaction with the students? I think your selfies worked great! You are becoming very good at these! I love your harness…the color suits you to a T. AND it makes me proud of all your work to be a therapy cat. but I wish you could wear your totally adorable outfits when you visit children and students even at USC.

    Our mum always has things growing out of our heads too :/
    She even knows that is a major no-no.
    At least you did better with your selfie.
