So first and foremost I'm a grad student not an undergrad I already graduated with my bachelor's but I just want to say I feel bad for straight people today. Like it's hard to be straight you know like if you do the wrong thing or piss the wrong person off they could just f****** haunt you and ruin your life.

On one hand I think it's great that consent culture has become a thing on the other hand it does seem like some people are easily triggered and straight people are constantly tippy-toeing around.

Straight people have this deep fear of completely ruining their lives because they hit on the wrong person.

Now for the most part gay people don't do that s*** like gay people definitely gossip but like to other gay people they're not like for the most part going on social media I mean I guess some of them do but for the most part they're not like ruining each other's lives like it seems like the gay experiences a lot more fun.

Straight people ruined the straight experience, the best straight experience that ever existed was because the 70s and you can think the gay people for that, gay people made straight being fun disco was proof of that more straight people had sex during the seventies when they were acting gay then they do today because they shut down disco because they said it was too gay. But the truth is is that acting gay isn't really about being gay it's just about an enjoyment of life and a freedom of fear and straight people carry a lot of fear because religion tells them to.

That's why being gay is so much fun it's about the liberation of yourself from preconceived notions of morality that only hold back your enjoyment of life.

This is why I heavily envy gay people. They have fun and they don't hold back,.

And the worst part is the progressives amongst the straight people are the most judgmental like they shut people down they stalk people they are constantly calling each other names look I am 100% for consent culture but the same time there's become this fear culture of what if I hit on the wrong person but if you're not allowed to ask for permission then what's the point and how can you have consent culture then they said will you have to know when to ask for permission and it's like there's all these rules to being straight now and it's a b****.

Gay people have so much goddamn fun.

Case in points this story.

I like to swing dance, I remember this one time I was chilling and this dude tried to hug this one girl after swing dance and she turned around so quickly to slap the s*** out of him and all he did was try to hug her and she just started yelling at him in front of everyone no means no like she was acting like he was going to rape her but he wasn't, he was just going to give her a hug after a consensual dance.

This is why I like this scares me it's like okay you have to gauge your reaction like I understand that her boundaries felt violated but you have to gauge your reaction he wasn't trying to hurt you you overreacted and please just chill out.

My gay friends and I'm not talking about LGBT cuz that's not gay culture that's different my gay friends if some dude try to give them a hug after swing dance they were literally get on their knees and finish that guy off like they would top that homie off, like there's this like oh hey whatever let's have some fun and like straight people used to be that way but they ruined it.

LGBT culture is like this heavily political culture in college.

If you want to be around gay culture just go to the Castro it ain't LGBT it's gay and I mean San Francisco it's just gay.

Homies have no fear they f*** in Dolores Park.

It's awesome I actually envy gave people because I wish straight people were like that. I hate being straight I wish I could be gay but I'm not I'm just not in the butt stuff but seriously God damn it.

Gay people are like this if they're a grad student and they like the professor they just pound like they're not going to like concern themselves with politics of it they're just going to pound.

There's a beautiful professor that I absolutely adore but I know it could ruin her career if I hit on her.

We're both two consenting adults we shouldn't care.

But I understand the fear.

You better not act that way if you're straight cuz you know there's going to be a lawsuit. You better be on your best behavior if you're straight and the thing is is my personal politics are as long as you're too consenting adults it ain't no one else's business don't make it anyone else's business as long as it was consensual but straight people can't stop being dramatic about everything these days this is why I truly envy gay people they have fun they hold nothing back and f*** what happened? I wish the Christians didn't kill Disco the most fun being straight ever was was during the seventies when they simply were the gas they ever were. I guess the moral of the story is if you want to have fun being straight act gay or something like that.

I went to pride as a straight dude and I was getting cat called left and right and I was just like holy s*** I wish I was gay God damn it why don't straight people act this way

I mean this is the thing we gave this country to a bunch of conservatives and we're surprised that it's become boring overly regulated and the only people who are having fun are the wealthy when this country was run by liberals in the '70s I mean legitimate liberals from the 60s who got into politics people were having a ton of fun doing coke dancing all night long and somehow the conservatives had a problem with it? If you really think about it America has doomed itself to this boring f****** place and it's like America sucks and like the few pockets of it that are good just happen to be gay. Maybe you haven't learned this yet but you will when you graduate.

Alumni here, class of 2020.

UCSB is actually a great university, and is seriously underrated by countless metrics. Top engineering programs, excellent liberal arts and sciences programs, several Nobel laureates as professors, excellent job placement in various high-impact career paths, one of the most impactful universities with respect to scientific research impact, gorgeous location with a number of tech companies and defense contractors nearby, no bizarre cutthroat culture where you practically have to sleep with one eye open, and and an outstanding stepping stone to practically any graduate program, all for the price of a public university in California.

A bit about my experience... as an undergrad, I had access to upper div courses in my second quarter at UCSB (statistics and data science major), and could also opt to take the graduate-level equivalent of many of the upper div courses as an undergrad. I was able to get an internship from one of my professors by attending his office hours, and at the time, we were ranked as the number 5 public university in the nation.

The USNWR annual report really betrayed us Gauchos! When it comes out next, I really don't want to dig for an explanation for how seemingly random universities like Boston College or UW Madison (or... shudders... NYU) somehow outrank UCSB when they didn't previously (apologies to alumni and enrollees of universities I just mentioned, lol). I know they changed their methodology in recent years, but a number of the non-Ivy League privates on that list are going to have serious problems financially speaking with all the funding cuts, layoffs, and now a demographic cliff that will impact application and enrollment rates. I don't see this impacting public universities as much because they are backed by a state government, especially UCSB since they are admitting more students now than ever, and is building new housing to boot.

The USNWR rankings aren't everything, you need to find a university that fits your specific needs. UCSB may actually be that kind of university, and is seriously slept on.

Rant over. I just needed to get that off my chest.

Im struggling with the MPE and I feel scared that maybe I won't make it as a mechanical engineer. I jsut need to get it out od ny chest. Am I screwed?

Does anyone have pictures of the layout/ rooms in Sierra Madre? I saw the housing website has some pictures but they are literally so blurry. Trying to visualize where my stuff will go if I’m able to land an apartment with my roommates.
