Hello everyone! I’m Brandon Ro and I’m your third and final writer for Zot Blog! I’m from San Jose, California, which is just south of San Francisco for those who don’t know, but now I’m living at Gray Havens at Middle Earth. I’m in a triple with two of my high school buddies Ryan and Calvin, and you can usually find us either at the top floor of Pippins watching Family Feud, or shooting pool in the Tolkien Game Room.
My hobbies are mostly pretty nerdy, and the two clubs that I frequent are Fighting Gamers at UCI, and Tabletop Games Club. I’m also a part of Acts 2 Fellowship, a Christian group that meets on Fridays for food, bible study, and fellowship (as the name suggests). I’m also into all different kinds of music, horror movies, video games, anime, food, and baseball, but I’m always open to trying new things!
Currently my major is undecided but I’m actively trying to transfer into Business Administration, so I’ve been pretty focused with trying to stay on top of my studies. I’m taking MGMT 30A (Intro to Accounting), ECON 20A (Micro Econ), and Sociology 2 (Globalization), so if we share any classes hit me up! So far transitioning into UCI has actually been pretty smooth! I think it definitely helps that I’m living with people I already know, but I’ve been enjoying campus life and all of my classes. There’s definitely a noticeable increase in work coming from high school, but I was expecting the worst so I haven’t been too caught off guard. Dorm life has been peaceful so far, aside from the three fake fire alarms and subsequent evacuations. >_> The rooms are nice, the beds are comfy, the food is good, but the bathrooms are another story. Okay they’re not really that bad, but if you remember anything from this post, look for bathrooms in hallways or floors of the opposite gender. I live on the third floor in a hall with a bunch of other dudes, and everyone uses the same bathroom at the end of the hall. I’m not sure if anyone else on our floor knows this, but there’s another men’s bathroom on the floor below that nobody uses because that side of the floor is all ladies. It’s pretty much like my roommates and I have a bathroom all to ourselves, and although we suspect others will catch onto this sooner rather than later, we’re trying to enjoy the luxury while we can.
I’m hoping to have a successful year, and I hope that I get to meet a lot of new people and readers! I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences as a first year with all of you and I hope I can help bring some enjoyable content to the Blog. See you next post.
-Brandon
