3rd Blog (Lecture and career counseling visit.)
I was really impressed with all the knowledge the librarian had to offer to us at her lecture. I went in with the mindset that the library is dull and boring and this lecture really changed that. I was interested in her theory that a great school equals a great library and I loved how passionate she was about the library. I also agree with her theory that great students and scholars alike need to find balance in their lives, with studying and recreational activities. I have seen myself do best when I am well balanced with sports and studying so when fall quarter begins I will definitely join Intramural Table Tennis and Basketball. Along with some great advice she also offered us some great resources such as the library portal allowing us access to numerous resources from other UC campuses. In regards to career counseling I was happy to hear that they have an accounting association and resources on how to do interviews which are both very important in my field. In addition to those two items I was also very pleased with the fact that they have a career fair occurring on September the 24th where I can learn more about my major as well as the accounting association. However the best part of the career counseling visit was hearing that the top four accounting recruiting agencies visit this school looking to hire students. I love accounting and being able to get a good job at a top accounting firm would make my parents so proud of me and hopefully they will buy me a new motorcycle.

Hey Chris! I am glad someone found the librarian’s speech informative. It is important, like she mentioned, to find a balance between school, social life, and sports, if you play one. I didn’t know that UCSB has intermural table tennis, I play tennis which I am sure is way different than table tennis, but we both needs skill to play. The Career Center was really helpful to me as well, they had everything in that little building to help you figure out which major was the one for you. Good luck with everything, and hopefully you can manage a way to convince your parents to buy you a motorcycle.
