From the Library to Career & Counseling

To be quite honest, the librarian’s life story was more intriguing than the actual structure of the library. Who lives in different parts of England every other year in their childhood?! I sure wish I could do that.   I want to be able to wake up one morning, go on a run by the Santa Barbara coast, and finally arrive to a revelation of what I want to do for the rest of my life. It wasn’t anything random either – she had surrounded her life around books since she was a little girl. For her, it seems like reading was an underlying passion that was became a conditioned routine in her life – she didn’t even realize how much reading and the art of literature was integrated in her life.

Going to the career counseling office truly instilled in me a great happiness about going to UCSB. Even though there are so many stereotypes about going to a big public school and how a student doesn’t get enough attention – SO NOT TRUE! There are so many resources just in this office that made me feel so much more comfortable with my decision to go to UCSB and my future to come. They provided flyers on almost every major and the popular career choices students make when graduating with that major. What I also loved was that the advisor gave each of us a career manual that listed information ranging from how to write resumes to interviewing for jobs. Not only did I learn about the great opportunities I have to get jobs or internships through Gaucholink but I also learned about what awesome of a school I go to – DUH!
