I realized I desperately need to move out of my UCI phase, but I can't help being a proud Anteater. You know what I love about UCI? I love that our campus was constructed in a circle so that I could never get lost. I love that I knew I could run into a friend at least once a day. I love that our mascot is a freaking anteater! I love that our campus reps give awesome tours. I love that we have such talented dance crews. I love that I could take naps at Aldrich Park or the Student Center and see other people do it too. I love that I could walk anywhere late at night and not worry about someone shooting me. I love that our men's volleyball team won 2 championships while I went there, not to mention, the coach isn't so bad to look at. I love that I didn't see any trash on the streets. Most of all, I love all the people that I met there.
However, I really need to move on. I need to put away all these memories into a box and stop comparing my current school to UCI. I need to start getting used to saying, "I go to UC," (which is what everyone abbreviates University of Cincinnati as), without feeling like I need to add an "I" at the end. I know I probably won't have as strong of a connection to UC as I have for UCI because of the short length of my stay, but I'm going to do my best to be a proud Bearcat! I don't know their chant yet, so.. uh... Grrr.. meowww!!??

O my god, i feel exactly the same way! I keep comparing UCLA to UCI and it's definitely not the same. I keep wishing I had the same routine or familiarity with UCLA as I did with UCI but I know I have to move on from UCI so I can embrace UCLA. But Lyds, it's good that we have our anteater pride until the day we die!
