Where I Call Home... (away from home)

I am currently a junior at UC San Diego, and my major is in communications. I first explored this new place with uncertainty and mystery. Besides a rigorous academic career, what else can this prestigious institution offer me? To my left I saw loneliness, and to my right I saw emptiness. Best described as being in an endless realm of unfamiliar countenances, I walked miles and miles across campus searching for something. Finally, I stumbled upon this "something" in which I had been searching for. I found myself at the gameroom in Price Center-where I have come to call my home, away from home.

I have been working at UCSD's Gameroom in Price Center since freshman year and am currently the assistant manager there. Where many people may say college life is parties and drinking, I would say college life is the gameroom. The gameroom is where I have met some of the most amazing people. I've made my close circle of friends here. It pays for my tuition, rent, and miscellaneous uses. I study here; I work here; I eat here; I meet my friends here; I nap here; I play here. Through the tedious studying and pressures of doing well academically, billiards has become my escape.

My love for the game came about through working at the gameroom.
