Probably one of the most visually stunning places to study at is UC Santa Barbara. Aside from the beaches, palm trees and sunny weather, there’s another thing that will have you melting. The people. The level of attractiveness within a college campus is unparalleled. Gorgeous people run rampant through the streets. You get whacked with beauty every corner you turn. But alas, an excess of anything causes problems with everything. Here are three very real, extremely serious issues that come with living amongst thousands upon thousands of abnormally attractive human beings.

1. Paralysis

You’re just doing you, typing notes, focusing on the lecture, feeling put together, and then all of a sudden Adonis pokes you and asks for a pen. You spend a good 10 seconds trying to remember how to breathe before you blurt, “Pen? Yes. Yes, have pen. Pen good. Blue okay?” Then the rest of lecture you beat yourself up mentally. Frantically you do the only completely justifiable form of action, you notify all your friends via text. “OMG, you won’t believe the most embarrassing, horrifying thing that happened to me just now.” Your friends’ laughter and amusement don’t do anything to alleviate your shame and you spend the rest of the class cringing in your seat. Later on, you miss a question on the midterm that your professor totally hinted at on this unfortunate day.

2. Presentability

Rolling out of bed, throwing on some deodorant (or not) and walking out into the world is not an option. I repeat this is not an option. Nothing will fill you with more dread and regret than this sole action. You might think, “Who cares if anyone sees me? This is who I am.” But I promise you will care when that hunky lacrosse player throws you a side eye of disgust in line at Woodstock’s, or even worse...doesn’t look at you at all! Moral of the story is beware lazy days and never skip that shower, no matter how well your roommate convinces you that your hair isn’t really that greasy.

3. Lasting Standard Change

You are accustomed to seeing nines and 10s on the daily. You turn your nose up at sevens and below. This is a good thing, right? Wrong! This whole thought process goes totally south on you once you go back to your hometown. All of a sudden fives and below are hitting on you? Who do they think they are? Then your friend reminds you that you’re not that cute and deflates that huge ego that beautifully wicked Isla Vista created. But when you come back, it fills right up again and your mind, body and soul shudder at the thought of anything but a dime.

Living life with abundant amounts of eye candy around you nearly 24 hours, seven days a week may sound appealing and yes, fun as hell, but be aware of the strains on your mental well-being and the FOMO your sweats pants will feel, untouched in the back of your drawer.
