Pre-UC Road Trip — Day 2: Heading to San Diego for UC 2026. I felt a little out of place at first, but I loved the laid-back vibe of La Jolla.

A street intersection with a green traffic light, a pedestrian signal, a shopping center in the background, and a partly cloudy sky.Four people are posing for a selfie on a rocky shoreline with seals and birds resting in the background near the ocean.A street lined with tall palm trees leads to a coastal area with people walking and cars parked along the sides.
