January in Review

It has been so very long since I posted last so I thought that it would be a good idea to talk about some of the things I have been doing in this new year!

I returned to school and I couldn't be happier to be back! I missed my roommates, my dorm, and my sorority sisters so much and it was great to be reunited. I continued my job working at the front desk of my residence hall and started new classes. The quarter system is great because it gives you the opportunity to take lots of classes over the course of a year, but it's rough because the quarter is only 10 weeks so the classes go at lightening speed! I am taking two of my major requirement classes and I'm happy to say that I LOVE them, so it looks like I'll be sticking with my Communication major, and hopefully beginning the Political Science major next quarter.

I have started tutoring at the local elementary school, and I have been paired with a student named Gio. He is in fifth grade and he is so cool- I love helping him with math homework and playing chess and battleship when he's done! The hardest thing about college for me was not being able to spend time with kids, so through this tutoring and mentorship program, I solve that problem!

I also recently got hired as a Tour Guide for UCSB! I went through the application process with about 350 other students and I was beyond excited to be one of 20 students hired for the position! I love UCSB and I'm so excited to show it off to prospective students. Right now, I am about to begin training, and hopefully I should be leading my own tours by March.

So that's all the new news from me- I'm looking forward to a few Miss California related trips coming up in February as well as the beginning of Open Call season! Stay tuned and I'll be writing all about those events over the next few weeks.
