This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

 

Name: Zac Cabin

Year: Fourth

Major: Biology

Campus Involvement: President of the Gaucho Tour Association

Relationship Status: In a relationship with the lovely Paxton Barco

Describe yourself in three words: Dedicated, relaxed, and breakfast burritos.

What is your biggest guilty pleasure movie? Love Actually

What is your favorite song? Rocky Raccoon. Always brightens my day.

Describe your favorite date night:   When we were in Lucca, Italy, we went to a small restaurant and she had the Spaghetti Pomodoro and I had a Pumpkin Risotto. We got a bottle of wine and had a laugh with the waiter. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the end, and then walked around an ancient Italian city…one of the more perfect nights we have experienced.

Who would you have wanted to be in a past life? Lorenzo de Medici. The man ran an entire city for forty years and commissioned some of the finest works of art we’ve ever seen. I would have loved to even have known Renaissance greats like Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Donatello and Botticcelli, let alone have them over for dinner.

What is an important piece of advice you think all freshman should know before their first quarter at UCSB? Do your best to understand the laws of the bike path–it’ll pay dividends in the future, I promise you.

Rachel is a senior at UC Santa Barbara and studies Communication and Global Peace and Security. Rachel is from a small, beautiful town in southern California called Palos Verdes. However, Palos Verdes is just one of the many places Rachel has lived. Rachel spent her childhood moving and traveling all over the world, living in places such as Indianapolis, Indiana; Santiago, Chile; Vienna, Austria; and Orlando, Florida. Rachel has found her heart and her home in California, choosing to spend her college years in sunny Santa Barbara. However, Rachel continued her wanderlust when she studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain in Fall 2012. At UCSB, Rachel is an immensely dedicated and involved member of her sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, where she held the positions of Panhellenic Delegate, Inter-Greek Counselor, Rho Gam, and a member of the Nominating Slate. Best Buddies, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is a passion of Rachel's, as she is their Social Media Coordinator as well as an active and proud member. As a member of the Lambda Pi Eta Communication Honors Society, Rachel is able to implement her prowess and affinity for communication and communication-related issues. When Rachel is not writing, participating in Kappa events, or volunteering, you can find her in the gym, on the soccer field, watching Modern Family, or cooking. Rachel's love for sports, food, and writing often times go hand-in-hand, as one may see in her weekly blogs. For the past two summers, Rachel has been freelance writing for the Los Angeles Times, and hopes to continue her career pursuit of journalism after she graduates. Rachel is elated to be a part of Her Campus's fabulous team and loves every moment of it!
