Student Resource Building and such

OK, so.  On Friday we all visited the awesome Student Resource Building. I loved it. Here are the things that I like about it:
  1. The architecture of the building. The architecture of the building is really cool. I like the colors and shapes of the building itself.
  2. There is a Women's Center! It was so nice. It has multiple offices in it and a lounge with books, magazines, articles, and comfortable chairs :) 
  3. The location. The location is in the middle of campus and it is easy to find.
  4. There is a terrace with a beautiful view. It has tables and chairs so friends, co-workers, tutors and pretty much anyone can enjoy the sunlight and hang with a fab view. 
  5. It's open late. Monday- Friday, 8:00 am to 12:00 am. 
The Majors and Minors Fair was very, very informative and helpful. I picked up a few pamphlets and brochures from the Feminist Studies, Black Studies, and Communication tables. 

UCSB is the perfect school to meet people. It has intramural and intercollegiate sports and over 400 clubs. It is also easy to meet new people in class if you give it a chance and start a conversation :)  

Hello

Hey guys!

My name is Caroline (you can call me Cara) and I'm from the wonderful city of Santa Barbara! I am very blessed to have lived here my whole life. It is a beautiful city sitting right in between the ocean and the mountains. I chose to come to UCSB because I LOVE volleyball and I am playing for the volleyball team here. Volleyball is my passion and I especially love playing beach volleyball with friends. I'm very lucky that I get to stay in the San Nic dorms because a sand volleyball court is only 10 feet away. The new friends I've made are awesome and it is so much fun to live with all of them.

I am a feminist and will be majoring in Feminist Studies. I am an advocate of women's rights and I believe that women are intellectually and socially equal to men. Someday, I plan to travel to Afghanistan (with big, beautiful security guards) and be a civil rights leader, or diplomat, for Afghani women. UCSB has a great Feminist Studies program, but I've heard from "around" that a class actually teaches ANTI evolution. Unbelievable. Hopefully, I can avoid this class.

UCSB has been amazing so far and I am looking forward to spending the next four years here :)
