<p>Great well you are officially my first friend at ucsb lol I probably won’t be studying all week but I’m more a weekend partier because I get the worst hangovers! I couldn’t handle being hungover all the time it kills me</p>
<p>Haha well Im always down for a new friend… And yeah I feel ya, sometimes its good to have some non-alcoholic fun during the week. Looks like you and I are gonna have to change Manzanita’s anti-social/anti-party repuatation lol</p>
<p>im still trying to decide! does anyone know how the global studies/international relations program is?</p>
<p>Definitely! Are you a transfer then gaucho5010? I’m coming to ucsb on an education abroad program (I’m from uk) so it’s important for me to have fun while im there cos im doing it for the experience rather than the academics. Where r u coming from?</p>
<p>CatMaxwell: Yeah I’ll be heading up from Ventura County, about an hour south of UCSB… And I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun, Santa Barbara is great.
Look me up on Facebook, I’m usually not on CC too much… email: <a href="mailto:venegas.c15@gmail.com">venegas.c15@gmail.com</a></p>
<p>^Thanks Anberlin. I hear you about the annual cost and keeping focused on what’s important.</p>
<p>How cute, all the future freshmen of UCSB already making friends. :p</p>
<p>@Hairy Lemon: I’m sure you were like this your senior year of high school :P</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was. :P</p>
<p>I met several of my friends through a similar thread as you guys. A couple of them still post here lol.</p>
<p>I figured as much lol.
So you’re a freshman there right now?</p>
<p>Ooh this is a little late! Hi 
I’m Gabrielle. Can we be friends!</p>
<p>Hi! 
What’s your major gabszalot?</p>
<p>I am Undecided! I want to try something new.</p>
<p>Go for it! This is your chance. I’m not sure if you’ll know the answer, but do you know if you can still change majors even after you SIR?
As a side note, are you planning on going to the Summer Program? ^^</p>
<p>That’s what I did! As soon as I did SIR, I sent the major change email. And summer program, probably not I still have to move there!</p>
<p>Did they respond to your major change email?
Well, you get a week after the program is done to finalize your moving, so it isn’t THAT bad.</p>
<p>Actually when I did it, they said they weren’t going to respond 
I guess they just do it and leave you hanging. And my mom is coming to California with me x.x</p>
<p>What do you mean “they said they weren’t going to respond”?
That might have to do with what I was thinking…that we can’t change our majors after we submit our SIRs.</p>
<p>The website says requests for major change will not receive a written response.</p>
<p>Can I get a link to this so-called website, please? :)</p>
