UC Davis

On Wednesday and Thursday, my friends and I drove up to UC Davis to visit some high school friends. The ride there was entertaining although the Bay Bridge traffic wasn't too fun. Well we finally got to UC Davis and visited our friends who I will not mention due to the fact that there are stalkers and that I am too lazy to type them all out. But we were treated to dinner at their dining commons which was probably one of the best cafeterias everrr. There were sofas in the middle with board games just waiting to be played. There were soda fountains every where and they even had GOOD tasting foods. I had salad, pizza breads, and cereal for dinner along with a vanilla frozen yogurt. And this was just during the late hour period so there were not as much variety out. At San Jose, there it probably only one item that tastes good and that is probably the churros. The rest of the cafeteria's food is there just to fill you up. After we ate we hung out at our friends' dorms and slept overnight. Our hosts had class early the next morning so we let them have a good 3 hour sleep when we got to have 8 or so. We walked around the campus to look for the arcade which took us only about an hour to do so. There we played in the arcade which was pretty nice and also went bowling afterwards. Bowling was pretty fun mainly because I got first place with a score of 103. After that we just hung out and talked about good times.

During the first day we were at UC Davis I felt pretty depressed, especially when I ate at their fancy dining commons. The campus looked so nice and kept clean. It made San Jose State look so bad. It made me think that I should have worked harder in high school and have got accepted to all these UC schools. Even the bathrooms were so nice. San Jose's bathrooms are disgusting 27/7. There is always either barf or cup and noodle left overs in the sink. And for some reason people in San Jose just don't like to flush the toilet. It seems so run down compared to Davis and it made me think. The next day we ran into more friends and I got to ask a lot of them how they liked it there. And all of them pretty much said it was either "ok" or "it sucks." I was in shock and almost angry that they didn't like such a nice campus compared to my school. But they were saying how there wasn't much to do just like how it is with San Jose. That made me glad that they did not really like their school.. and I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but I realized that it doesn't matter which school you go to or if you go to college at all. It depends on what you do with what you have. I'm not saying that I do more at San Jose either.. its probably even less. But although my school has some crappy dorms and crappy food, I still appreciate going there and that I actually can get an education. I don't regret going to San Jose..even though I didn't have too much choices.. I just hope I don't regret not making the best of my time here. If that triple negativity made any sense.. go spartans!
