I've done it before and will again. Or maybe cataloging is the wave of the future. Hell, we wouldn't need places like the Career Center anymore. I would rather it not be said that they found UCI engineer number 65987456 for the job and not Troy Yoshiyama. Let's not begin our life's work under a stereotype.
Most students approach their first year of college with the greatest of expectations.
They look forward to the late nights, the parties, the freedoms associated with spreading one's wings and leaving home. Astonishingly, as the first Friday night of my college experience arrived, boredom and confusion overwhelmed me. Except for 10 unlucky Northern Californians, my dorm of 70 was empty. Later that night, while trying to find anything other than Denny's open past midnight, I understood the plight of the UCI student. Unlike most college campuses, UCI has been forced to adapt to its surrounding ultra conservative residential community, making it impossible for any semblance of a student culture to develop unless mandated by the City of Irvine.
