College is exciting to me because I get to meet new people with completely different histories than my own. Some interesting ways to meet people that I heard about in class include rushing, getting a job, going to the gym, and joining sports teams. However, what I find most helpful in making new friends is being outgoing and nice! Can't go wrong with that.
I was actually super impressed with the Student Resource Building. Not only were the resource programs helpful, but the architecture and internal decor was very modern and creative. One of my favorite decorative/utility elements was a cushion bench whose shape reminded me of a Chex Mix cracker (bottom middle):
Sorry if I made you hungry. I was also impressed with the landfill bin I saw, way to go green UCSB! And lastly, while I was sitting on the Chex Mix chair, I looked up through the glass windows to see a sunny patio with tables and chairs. I hope the patio is accessible to students, I would love to do homework up there sometime.
Unfortunately I was unable to attend the Majors and Minors Fair due to class, but a friend brought me some pamphlets. I chose the Psychology Honors Program one as I am interested in the field. I didn't know there were honors programs specific to majors until I read about it in this pamphlet-maybe that is something I will check out further. I was particularly excited that it offered the unique privilege of increased priority for class registration. I don't know about you, but registering for classes was possibly the most panicy and stressful 25 ish minutes of my life!
Madison,
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you’re going to be busy as hell with everything you want to do—that’s a great thing. Enthusiasm and passion isn’t something you can teach—and although that might sound corny, I think it’s true. That’s a great attitude to start college with.
I really liked the chex mix graphic and the connection back to SRB.

Madison,
ReplyDeleteWell you did end up making me hungry and now I'm craving some chex mix. I liked what you said about meeting new people and I totally agree. The best way to make new friends and meet new people is be outgoing and nice. I always try to live by that mantra. My door is almost always open and people are always welcome to drop by and they always do. Anyways I also went to the major fair and learned lots of useful information about my major as well. Great post and now I'm gonna munch on some chex mix.
