A short blurb about me, Lyric Randall.
Hello all, I am a small town girl from Oregon who absolutely loves
the great outdoors, anything active, my family and friends, good food,
traveling, live music, and any new adventures that find their way into my life.
I have been living in Santa Barbara for the past two years and have absolutely loved
it. I moved here only knowing my boyfriend and one good family friend who
traveled here once every year. Because I lived in the same town from the time I
was six until twenty, I was a little apprehensive and frightened about what a
new place would be like. So far Santa Barbara has not let me down. The first
year I was in Santa Barbara I chose to take a year off from school to work and
get settled in a new place. I found a good restaurant job at Opal Restaurant
and Bar, and am still happily working as a manager there for the remainder of
the time while I am in school. Once I had gotten settled in after the first
year I attended classes at SBCC and got an AA in Biomedical Science. I love the
human body, it fascinates me! Unfortunately I don’t want to be a doctor when I
grow up, so I wanted find a new path to walk down, that lead to study Business
Management and Entrepreneurship at Antioch University. My end goal is to merge
these two worlds, and how I want to do that I have not exactly pin pointed. I
think being a medical sales rep or working for a sports company would truly intrigue
me, but I know my options are open. Overall I would say that I am a person who
can always find the positive, is outgoing, and happy to take on any new adventure.
I enjoyed reading about you! I am also a small town girl from Idaho, not too far from Portland Oregon. I am not sure exactly where you are from in Oregon but Portland is a cool city! The pacific northwest is beautiful! I moved to Santa Barbara 3 years ago and just like you fell in love with it. I have created such a great life here and am also excited about attending Antioch. It is so important to be surrounded by positive people and it is really hard to not find the good in the beauty of Santa Barbara. It sounds like you have a very cool interest in your degree and have a bright future ahead of you. I look forward to getting to know you more!
ReplyDeleteHey Robin! I'm from the other side of Oregon down by the California border, it's a small town called Ashland. Yes Portland is a pretty awesome city. Seems like we have some similarities, so I am also looking forward to getting to know you better :)
DeleteOpal is a great restaurant as I am sure you inform people on a regular basis. There are tons of restaurants in town, what made you choose Opal? I am a vegetarian and every meal I have had there has been really good.
ReplyDeleteAwesome you braved the unknown and left the comfort of your Oregon community. I don't know why growth happens via discomfort, but it does. Although Oregon is beautiful in 1,000 different ways, I think California is a state well worth residing. Since you enjoy physical activity , I am sure you find Santa Barbara perfect for your outdoor adventures, I know I do! Continue on your journey!
