      Another thing I’d like to add to the guy above me, is that the fun parts are going to be more fun when you go through the boring ones too. If everything is fun, none of it is. You’ll learn to appreciate the boring times more because it makes you slow down and relax, even if on the surface you think it’s hard work and you hate it. It makes the great parts all that much more enjoyable

    Hello Kai. I had a question about your work load. I was thinking of joining UCSB. I just visited the campus and I loved it. If I go there, I would also love to join their swim team. Do you think it would be possible to swim as well as apply with plans to major in aquatic biology? I understand I would enter as a pre-biology major question then petition to declare as an aquatic biologist. I ask because it seems like your mornings are quite occupied. Thank you, nice video btw :)

    • @kaioda5607
      @kaioda5607  2 роки тому +3

      It's definitely possible to complete your major while swimming (though your time might be limited). I would intern part-time (5-10 hours/week) for labs at UCSB during the school year and then apply for full-time field positions in the summer. I made this video while I was working a summer position in Moorea so it doesn't necessarily reflect the workload that you would experience during the school year :)
