Answer
I'm going to 8th as well! *High fives*
So far I've been seeing a lot of fun florals, or animal prints. For example, a floral sundress with a jean jacket with sleeves rolled up. There's a new trend called color blocking, where you use super bright colors contrasting with your outfit to spice it up, like a bright turquoise bag when you're wearing white, or bright red flats with black skinny jeans. It's really cute! Skinny jeans are still in, but flare jeans are also making a comeback so be ready! TOMS and Converse are in, but kind of unoriginal.... I would suggest trying wedges, because they are so fun and summery! Ankle boots are perfect for fall and are super cute with skinny jeans. Flats go best with skinny jeans in my opinion, so get some fun colors. I LOVE my leopard print flats, because they add a fun touch to every outfit! Lacey, flowy tops are also trendy, so go for a bohemian look with a loose, bright top toned down with plain skinny jeans and a cardigan. Oh, and don't forget ruffles, they really accentuate your bust and overall are really feminine and cute! Maxi dresses are soo pretty and can be dressed up or down. For hairstyles, braids are really in (goes along with the bohemian style), as well as feather extensions. Speaking of feathers, they are also really popular as earrings, and give a tribal effect that is also really trendy right now!
Hope this helped!

Answer
USC is more competitive for admission than UCLA, but UCLA is more of a crapshoot. (USC gets a lot of applications from top public and private high schools, so the stated average GPA is very strong, based on rigorous curriculum and tough grading policies.) Your GPA is a bit low, are you sure that's your correct UC GPA, it is typically lower than a fully weighted GPA, (weighting is only allowed on 8 semesters), or is it that you didn't do so well as a freshman and that's in your listed unweighted and weighted? Even though USC looks at freshman GPA, if you've improved they'll consider that. Try to get all A's in your senior year, at least first semester. And no D's! (Check to make sure you are taking all the required a - g classes. High schools are supposed to keep track, but sometimes they drop the ball.)
Are you planning to take the SAT this school year? If so, study big time, and plan to retake in October.
Bringing needed diversity to the colleges, and being a first generation college student, will help a bit with admissions. Strong essays can really help in admissions.
Admitted freshman averages:
UCLA UC GPA 4.11, 2042 SAT, 22% admit rate
USC unweighted GPA 3.8, 2140 SAT, 20% admit rate
Use your summer wisely! Bump up your community service hours, you should be able to add a lot more, attend a summer program like you have been, study study study for your SAT. Ask your college counselor about classes that are low cost or free or special programs. Look to see if your local community center has SAT classes. Work on your UC app (if you can't access it online, ask the college counselor for a hard copy or PDF), and the Common App. The new versions will come out in fall, but use the current apps for practice. Start early in the summer so you can see where you might need to add activities, etc and you can do them over the summer. Work on your essays this summer so you can get help at school with fine-tuning them as soon as school starts. Trust me, time flies at the beginning of your senior year and you need to keep your grades up. USC scholarship (Dec 1) and UC applications (Nov 1 - 30) are due early in the process.

If you are going to apply for USC scholarships, you will have to apply early, by December 1. Your stats may be a bit low based on your GPA, but it's worth the effort, just in case.

Good luck!
