UC Davis is the Bellagio of Las Vegas

Just the other day I had ran into an old friend that I have met in the dormitories in UC Davis and he had asked me how was my college life and the study of my major. I told him that it was going good and that I have picked up a new major, which was DESIGN! For a moment then on I thought he was going to “disss” my new and profound major, but instead he proclaimed it and I was surprised. This was only because he is a science major and we all know they can become a little, lets say, anal, when it comes to whose career is more important. Anyway, so I mentioned to him that I was very proud that he didn’t “diss” my new major that design should be taken more seriously from now on because everything this is DESIGN! Also, as I was saying we were standing in the middle of the main entrance to campus, which is by the Freeborn, the bookstore, Memorial Union etc, and I noticed the big, tall, cylinder looking this that reminds me of the water that shoots up at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. However, those big, tall, cylinder things are wind chimes, beautiful aren’t they?

As if it is a still image of the Bellagio fountain

Very nice, and this is one of the main attraction in Las Vegas

I wonder if this was the designer’s intention to make these wind chimes appear to look like a still image of the Bellagio fountain in Las vegan. What is this designer trying to say about UC Davis?

I believe that maybe these chimes that I believe mimic’s the Bellagio water fountain to be seen as some kind of feeling where you are glad to be here. Maybe more of a welcome into my kingdom sort of the thing that is suppose to make you joyful, because seeing the Bellagio water fountain show makes you joyful because it is one of the shows that people ultimately wait for to see. Just like how students ultimately can wait or dream of coming or becoming a student at the University of California Davis.

As the big seal of the University of California Davis lies in the center of the Memorial Union comes off as saying welcome, welcome to the University of California Davis.
