Today's forecast: Rainy, tearful emotions in the morning, sunny smiles in the afternoon, hazy memories overnight.
Oh, you thought you would be able to get the barometric pressure and stuff in the box labeled "Weather"? HA! You are such a freshman.

After a couple of fun, but little-remembered, Friday nights spent hovering over the beer pong tables (and, on the flipside, some Saturday mornings hovering over the communal dorm toilet bowls), you might find yourself searching for some alternative means of entertainment. It's not all luck: It takes a little knowledge and some careful strategizing to make the most of your free time, and Artsweek is here to help you beat the bank (and stay out of jail).

College sports are the shit. Call me biased if you want -- writing about sports does pay my monthly booze bill, after all -- but I've passed Go on the sporting world's Monopoly board more than a few times, and the fun I've had at every UCSB athletic event has been worthy of a spot on the Boardwalk.

So football season is upon us, and as incoming freshman, it's likely just dawned on you that UCSB doesn't actually have a team. Distressing, no? That's what I thought when I was in your position a couple years back. But I was -- as you can pretty easily guess by reading the Sports page of the school paper -- entirely wrong.

It was a vibrant fall morning, with leaves of crimson sprinkling along Highway 101. I leaned out the window and breathed in the Santa Barbara sea breeze, acquainting myself with a novel idea: This is my home for the next four years. Before I could exhale, the car window rolled up into my larynx, as my mother declared, "Jen, there's something we should talk about." Five missed exits later, this captive listener was educated in all the various forms of genital warts. I kindly asked her to roll my head back up in the window.

We at the Daily Nexus would like to introduce you to the Opinion section. It's a nifty little place where people, appropriately, write their opinions. You'll notice that it's different from news -- do not be alarmed! Please, for the love of Buddha, do not call us and complain that we are not "upholding the ethical standards of journalism" when we run a column you don't agree with. Know what you should do when you disagree with something in the Opinion section? Write to us!

Like the playing pieces vying for that Boardwalk property, Gauchos come in all shapes and sizes. And while no one has ever seen an iron or a thimble biking across campus, UCSB has so many clubs and organizations, even an inanimate metallic wheelbarrow could find the right one.

In your first year at UCSB you will no doubt face obstacles that seem near impossible -- transportation, however, will not be one of them. Getting past Go in the greater Santa Barbara area is an easy task, even for those who must reluctantly give up their beloved car.

Welcome, freshmen, to Isla Vista, the beachside beer-bubble community that will play host to the majority of your exploits and misadventures over the next four years. Compared with her various college town peers, I.V. may have earned herself somewhat of a wild child reputation. But this hussy has heart, and what makes I.V. great is the palpable sense of community among its spirited student population.

While UCSB may be most famous for its... Nobel prize winning faculty... the campus is equally well known for something most everyone can enjoy: the beach. Situated so close to the ocean you could throw a soccer goal into it (see: "UCSB Men's Soccer NCAA Champions," Daily Nexus, 2006), students living on or off campus have a myriad of options when it comes to planning a day at the beach.

UCSB students can take advantage of a course list with more options than a game of Battleship to learn more about almost any subject their little hearts desire. So, let the Daily Nexus provide you with a brief overview of some the most interesting and scandalous classes at UCSB.

I am writing to express my disappointment in the university's allocation of funds -- most notably, that eyesore at the freeway entrance to the school. Not only could that money, wherever it came from, have been better spent repairing areas on and off campus, but the trucks that were used during construction further damaged the roads and parking lots.

Way back in 1979, when Scott Rasmussen and dad Bill were trying to start ESPN, the idea of a cable network dedicated to 24-hour sports coverage was an amazingly tough sell. No one in corporate television bought the pitch, all on the assumption that there simply wasn't enough sports coverage to fill up a full network. Of course, we all know the ending to this story.
