UCSB Soccer counselors put on funny skits. You can join the choir in the fall, and if you are younger, you would go in the group called Skylarks, and if you are older, you would be in the Dynamics. I have been doing it for seven years and I love it. I think you would, too! —Kaitlyn D.
The Goleta Humane Society The Goleta Humane Society is a fantastic place to go visit because they rescue helpless animals. Anyone can go there, and the animals are friendly and playful. You don’t have to adopt pets when you visit. Everyone that I know loves to go there and see all of the animals and anyone can visit. You can even sometimes feed the animals! They have many mammals there like cats/ kittens, dog/puppies, and even bunnies. If you’re an animal lover like me, you can donate money to sponsor the animals. I once sponsored a bunny; his name was Micah. It is free to visit, and you can pet and sometimes hold the animals. For the little kids, they have a visiting room so they can play with the cats or kittens so they won’t run out. It has toys and a little bench people can sit on and hold the animals. One more reason I love the Goleta Humane Society is because they pick up stray animals and rescue them. I once adopted a cat. She’s sooo cute and playful — her name is Sasha. She is a gray-and-white Maine coon. Everyone should visit the Goleta Humane Society because I think everyone will

The UCSB soccer team is a very awesome team. UCSB is also a great university. The team has bright uniforms, like the color neon yellow. They also have good players and nice tricks. But the important thing to know if you want to go watch a UCSB soccer game is that you have to pay money before the game is going to start. Then once you pay for tickets, you can go and sit in the stadium until the game starts. The stadium is in Isla Vista, close to the UCSB campus.
