The Ultimate UCSB Bucket List

15 must do's before graduation.

The Ultimate UCSB Bucket List

UCSB is the epitome of the ultimate “college experience”- that is, if it’s done correctly. UCSB is more than just frat parties, close friends, and caffeine filled all nighters. From one gaucho to another, I challenge all freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and especially seniors of UCSB, to utilize their school for all it has to offer. Before graduating, make sure you get the chance to:

1. Participate in the Undie-Run.

Have some scandalous fun while participating in a good cause. It doesn’t get much better than that!

2. Jump off the Goleta pier.

And if you can't swim, don't worry! Beach side schools always carry life jackets.


3. Go sky diving.

And group discounts are available: https://www.skydivesantabarbara.com/


4. Skinny dip in the ocean.

You live right by the ocean..use it!

5. See the sunrise at Campus Point.

And while you're there, walk the Labyrinth too


6. Go to the top of Stork Tower.

Trust me, the view is worth it.


7. Eat at every place in Isla Vista at least once.

Now I don't just mean Freebirds, Hana Kitchen, or Woodstock's Pizza. We're talking Pho Bistro, Deja Vu, and even Otaco.

8. Learn to surf.

When else in your life are you going to live 30 seconds from the water?

9. Hook up on the 8th floor of Davidson Library.

OK so this might not be for everyone but hear me out- There are some beautiful views on the 8th floor!

10. Go paddle boarding.

11. Spend the night under the stars

Grab some friends and head down to a quiet spot on the beach for some fresh air and prime star gazing.

12. Avoid the hook-up culture and go on a real date.

I'd recomment Arigato Sushi on State Street.

13. Eat at Freebirds past 12:00 a.m.

Trust me, it tastes so much better after 12.

14. Participate in the IV "loop."

Share a pitcher of beer at all the places around Embarcadero Loop that serve alcohol!

15. Watch a movie at the drive-in.

Load up your car with snacks, sodas, blankets, and enjoy!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
