My Problems with UCSB

The Great Gatsby partying
The Dorian Grey hedonism
The absence of seasons which denote the passage of time
The realization that it is entirely possible to go for months without talking to a person of color
The fact that you could party before your finals and it will not drastically effect your performance
The lack of alternative scene
The truth that Freebirds is not that good (Am I the only one?)
The empty library
The lack of studying, researching, and overall learning
The large impersonal, anxiety ridden lecture halls
The people sleeping in the large impersonal anxiety ridden lecture halls
The fake tans
The schools “diversity” limited to small non-blonde groups
The eating disorders
The reporting in a town with no news
The sameness
The faint smell of marajuana always circulating in the halls
The professors who try so hard, but so few students appreciate it
The T.A’s eyeing you because they know you’re the only one who does the reading
The drunkenness
The pretend drunkenness
The larger selection of Paul Frank merchandise than books at the UCEN
The frequency of month-long relationships
The So-Cal/ Nor-Cal conflict
The provocatively posed Facebook pictures
The dining commons opening at 10:30 a.m. on weekends (Does no one wake up before that?)
The quarter filled lecture halls for a full class
The cry for a challenge
