Big Chilling in UCSB (2nd Blog)

I will start of my blog with saying hello and with the Majors and Minors fair I attended. I directly headed over to my major, Economics and Accounting, and I was hit ferociously with some very harsh information to take in. I heard the lady say the classes were some of the toughest on campus! Only %6 of the class can get an A in the pre major courses because of the department curve. I quickly asked her to point me in the best path to take the classes, when the level of competition is the lowest and where she thought I could thrive. I was happy to get a personally recommended schedule for the first two years of my career. I also checked out the study abroad in Singapore and China because I am interested in business I figured those are two very thriving economies and most business is done in the Asian countries now.  I have to say the majors and minors fair was also a good way to meet people. It was like a busy train station with multiple people scurrying around. I was able to meet some other Econ and Accounting majors which I thought could be very useful in the future to form a study group and really succeed in making it into the major. I exchanged a couple phone numbers and exited accordingly.
The Student Resource Building was is probably the most resourceful tool on campus. Here you can get information about EOP, and CLAS. I was happy to find that in this building there were smart boards instead of whiteboards and projectors. I was also happy to see that they offer CLAS for Econ which I will be consistently attending in order to gain an advantage over the other students. Now that is what I call being resourceful. Overall I feel that the Student Resource Building really is the focal point when trying to be resourceful. Multiple departments are located inside of it which makes it very convenient for students.

  1. I will start off my reply with saying hello and with your blog that I read. Upon directly heading to my major or great interest, I was ferociously hit with a lack of information as my righteous real respective representing representative was nowhere to be found! I quickly asked the adjacent advocate advisor for the egregious reason of his non-arrival. He was quite dumbfounded of his disappearance and could not provide and answer.
    However I am glad that you were sufficiently schooled with saccharine information.
    I’m glad that they have very nice whiteboards in the EOP and CLAS rooms as well.
    I hope you have an excellent Friday!

  2. Whats up Chris!
    Its good to know that you were able to find out so much about your major. I was unaware that economics and accounting was such a challenging field. I'm sure it will pay off in the long run though. I also want to get into the business field,(hopefully own my own company), as an engineer. I agree with your opinion to study abroad in Asia for the same reasons. I was also very glad to see that many tools available at the SRB. I will definitely be going there for some tutoring once the real heavy classes start, and who knows maybe ill stop by to get some help/opinions on my essays.
    I hope everything goes well for you in the following years. See you around.
