This Spring 2017 semester I am again a PODS Leader for the Honors Program and I am loving it!!! (Right here you can read my post about what PODS are) This semester POD has changed a lot because I have five new people who joined, and different people create different vibes. It is amazing how the dynamics of a group change in relation to the people who join the group. This semester in my POD there is still one of my old members, Maddy, but also four awesome new people called Cameron, Jamela, Moritz, and Melissa. Since the first day we immediately clicked and we have already organized an amazing activity together: ice skating at Ice In Paradise!!!

Even if six people was already a really good number we decided to open the event to any other Honors Program friend who wanted to join. We met at the ice rink in Goleta at 7.30pm and we ended up being ten people!!! Maddy and I had already been skating for a while and so we were the ones helping out our honorable honors people up on their feet! But we didn’t have to look after them that much because they were all pretty amazing!! In particular, Brian had never been skating before but he managed to stand on his feet the whole time without even holding onto the sides of the rink!! WOOOW! Congrats, Brian!!!
At 9.00pm we started feeling a little cold and tired and we decided to leave. It was really such an amazing experience and we all had a blast! I am so happy we decided to organize this wonderful event and involve so many people in it. As soon as it will be warmer, we have already planned to go kayaking as last semester, but also to hike to the Gaviota Hot Springs and have some dinner together one of these nights!! The PODS are just so much fun, and it is so enjoyable to spend time with this amazing group of people… Love you all guys! You are awesome!!!
