Being resourceful means being able to use what you have around you to the best of your benefit. Using your time wisely and knowing where your resources are. One major resource is your friends and acquaintances which you can meet practically anywhere on the UCSB campus. You could stay in your dorm and leave your door open, go down to the laundry room, go to the library, or go to the beach. The people at UCSB are really nice and social most of the time. On Friday we went to the Student Resource Building which, I know now, is probably the best play to get whatever aid or help you need. I found out that CLAS is also conveniently located in the resource building.

I attended the Academic Faire today and was reminded of the college fairs back at high school. The tables I visited were first and foremost, Chemistry, my major, and found out that there were many different jobs and careers I could contemplate later on for being a Chemist. Next I visited the Undergraduate Opportunities and Research table and learned about the many opportunities to conduct independent research or become a research assistant for a professor who might be conducting research. I then visited the two other tables I was interested in, Psychology and Environmental Science where I gained much more knowledge about both. After I was done with all the tables I was interested I lastly visited the Black Studies table because not many people really took much interest in that table. I learned that Black Studies isn't just the study of blacks as many may have thought, but a study of many different cultures and how society was developed with each. Black Studies is just generally something that will really benefit you regardless of what major one is pursuing.
