I've been thinking about getting a blog for awhile now. Since I'll be gone from the familiarity of San Diego in a matter of weeks, I think this is a great idea to jot my thoughts down on anything and everything that's going on in my life. I definately hope to stay in contact with people that have certainly left an impact on my life and this could provide the perfect opportunity. It's a bit ironic that I'm starting my blogging experience at a time where I'm "supposed" to be asleep, but obviously that's not the case, as is the norm. I'm hoping that I can be pretty religious about this so years from now I can look back at my anxieties about college and life.
Right now, I really feel I'm on the brink of endless opportunities. Which, as a point in focus, going to a school with 20,000+ people and literally hundreds of different interest groups, there are countless opportunities to take advantage of while I'm there. I'm going to do everything possible to ensure that this goes better than high school, which will not take much for sure. I worked hard in high school, and it pays off with my going in as a sophomore at SB, but I want to enjoy what I do rather than sink in a mountain load of work. The party scene is not an appeal, as I've seen first hand as how it influences people's character and decision making. I'm going to be looking for people who can have a great time without the influence of alcohol, and they certainly will be around. Maybe we'll be able to turn the trend at SB into a more positive one. If one thing is going for me as I leave home, I am highly motivated to put SB as a leading institution in the country, so people will start to pick UCSB over freaking Bezerkeley. I picked Santa Barbara for many reasons over Berkeley, and I hope others will begin to do the same.
So we'll how it goes. I think this was pretty good for a first post. I banged out this bad boy in just about twenty minutes, and I'm starting to feel tired so I think I may succumb. There will definately be a lot more to come in the future, this is pretty cool stuff.
Alrighty mates, cheerio.
