Part of the college
experience is getting involved on campus. Being a high school athlete and a
sports-lover since childhood, the Rec Cen was going to be my second home away
from my dorm. When I came for orientation earlier in the summer, I took the
tour of the Rec Cen and attended the same exact presentation about the
Adventure Program and Intramurals and everything the Rec Cen has to offer –
from sport positions to jobs. Going to the presentation for a second time
during FSSP made me even more excited about not only hiking and kayaking with
my peers but also working at the Rec Cen. I’ve had previous experience working
at the gym of a country club back at home so working in the gym at the Rec Cen
would be too perfect and familiar for me! Not only did the presentation remind
me of my passion for sports and the outdoors, but also because it was scheduled
in the first week of FSSP, I met a ton of kids who also had the same love for
sports and the outdoors. Through icebreakers and even small side talks about
how excited we are about getting equipment for hiking made me realize that
anyone at UCSB can pursue their passion not only by studying a major of their
interest but also getting involved in a club. I can’t wait to really dip my
feet into the great amenities offered by the Rec Cen. Let’s hope you see me
working in the gym this year!
