UCSB: Where The Future Lies

This is where I will spent the next four years of my life, yet I am not completely sure how I feel about that. I am entering a new stage of my life that my previous eighteen years life have prepared me for. The stage in which I will be expected to succeed, and do this through my own accolades. I stand here typing and I find myself questioning these such abilities. Now I am faced with a task that I'm not sure I even wanted. Its quite strange that the more you excel the more you wish you did not.

I digress, UC Santa Barbara has given me an opportunity that I half expected to receive, the opportunity for higher education. Is this over-confidence, I don't know, but I will say that the prospect of going to UC Santa Barbara does not intimidate me in fact I look forward to it.

The one big accolade of UC Santa Barbara is its campus. I have heard and seen only good things about the Santa Barbara campus. The beach and lagoon a primal motor of most conversations I have had about the campus. I have read great thing about the social life the extends to the city near the coast, Isla Vista. What does this mean? Parties of course homie, and lots of them. When I searched up UCSB on Youtube the first ten entries all dealt with party related actions. This really made how much hedonism plays into the social aspect of attending UCSB.

The education does not fall short in this University; UCSB has a very strong engineering program as well as variety of majors to pick from. This a swell thing, for I have yet to pick a subject to focus my studies on. However I know sooner or later I will find my zeal or something close to it at least.
