Lets Be Frank Booklet

LET’S BE FRANK ‘BOUT

Tomatoes

Feeling loved can make us feel empowered!

Remind yourself, “I deserve someone who fills me with positive vibes ‘from my head to-ma-toes.’”

Protein

Love, like proteins, comes in many forms: friendship, family, love of self, love for community, and partnered love.

What stays consistent? Love doesn’t ask you to protein’d to be someone you’re not! It inspires you be the best version of yourself.

Onion

Onions make you cry, but healthy love shouldn’t.

If you’re in a relationship with someone who puts you down, belittles or bullies you with negative op-onions of your value, you might want to reach out to USC Counseling and Mental Health Services to talk through it with someone.

Avocados

An ad-vocato from USC’s Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention team can help connect you to resources if you think you could be affected by power- or gender-based violence or harm.

Call 213-740-9355 (WELL) to get connected; or send a secure message to an Advocate in MySHR (usc.edu/myshr).

Beans

All human beans deserve to know love.

Love yourself for who you are today.

Connecting with others who have shared interests at USC can cultivate your connection to community.

Guacamole

Love shouldn’t cost extra. Scoop a heap of self-love onto your plate today and when you need support, remember there are folks who can help for free. You guac this!

Chips

Whether it’s friend-chip or a delicious bowl of community salsa, let the people in your life know you care about them!

Queso

Que-so, when it comes to love, start with loving yourself for the amazing qualities you bring to the table, how far you’ve come, and who you are becoming.

Practice by respecting your boundaries and finding people who fill you up with all the good stuff!

Cheese

Yep, we know we brought the cheese to this punny piece, but communicating clearly and honestly with the people you love will help make your relationships extra delicious.

Lettuce

Lettuce know if you have questions, we’re here to help. studenthealth@usc.edu
