I ROLL OUT OF BED and clamber into the shower. The cold
water is a relief on my weary eyes. I didn’t sleep well but
that’s nothing new. I never sleep well. When I walk back into
my bedroom, a warm ocean breeze fills the room with a fresh,
salty smell. It’s going to be a hot day in Santa Barbara. I would
love to lie in bed and gaze out at the crystal blue, cloudless sky
all day. But I need to get dressed. It’s the first day of school of
my senior year at Santa Barbara University.
Santa Barbara University is a small college nestled on the
California coast and is located ninety miles north of Los
Angeles. I have fond memories of visiting Santa Barbara with
my parents. It was the summer after my ninth birthday when
we flew to San Francisco and then drove down the coast.
It was in this town that I first watched my dad surf. I
remember it like it was yesterday. I was holding my mom’s
hand as we stood on the soft sand and cheered for my dad as
he caught wave after wave. In that moment I fell in love with
Santa Barbara.
When it came time to choosing a college it was a no-brainer
for me. I always knew I wanted to go to Santa Barbara
University. But not just for this cherished childhood memory,
this picturesque town is blessed to have sun about three
hundred days a year. It also didn’t hurt that they offered me a
full ride scholarship.
First day of school jitters used to be such an ordeal when I
was young. I would try on various outfits the night before. It
would take me hours to settle on one. I’d leave it out and then
in the morning I would change my mind and pick something
entirely different. It was the same routine for as long as I can
remember.
Now, I just grab what I pretty much wear every day. I throw
on my favorite blue jeans that my best friend and roommate,
Bryn Cartwright gave me. They are J-Brand jeans and I would
never own such an expensive pair of denim except Bryn
passed them on to me. Then I tug a white H&M tee over my
head and slip on my Havaianas flip flops.
I scrutinize my ghostly reflection in the mirror and notice
my hazel eyes are terribly bloodshot from my lack of sleep. I
squirt in a couple drops of Visine in both eyes and then try to
brush my tangled brown hair.
My bangs that I just got cut a couple weeks ago are already
driving me crazy. They are sticking straight up so I have to wet
them and hope that when they dry they will be tamed. I give
myself one last glance in the mirror and decide this will have
to do.
