My beloved bike standing proud (and locked) by the library before being sucked into the criminal world. (UCSB Campus, CA)

Southern California students charge the steps for their last frew days of summer beach fun. (Thousand Steps, CA)
There's a bit of a divide here in California between semester and quarter system schools. With half of our friends preparing to already make the inevitable return to education and all it may entail, the rest of us are left with another month of summer she+ Add Comment
