I moved in on Saturday and it was so chaotic. My roommates had picked each other and had wanted a double, so I was going to be the random roommate that just ruined their plans. I wasn’t sure if I was going to get along with them. We didn’t talk much as we unpacked, since…
To begin with, I did it! I made it through my first year of college, I didn’t finish as strong as I would like but I did make it. Under the many circumstances that I faced, I did it. And let me explain why it’s so astonishing to me that I made it. I was…
Wrapping up my summer in 500 words is possible however, it won’t fully represent how I feel about it. This summer already feels overwhelming.Trying to figure out my life is frustrating. I feel both physically and mentally exhausted. I haven’t had a break to myself. Right when school ended in May I began working the…
I am astonished to say that my first year at Cal has come to an end. I never imagined one year to have as much as an impact on me as it did. I remember being unsure of my footing for months, stating that my major was undeclared and that I did not have a…

For all the scholars here at Cal, you know what the Big Game is, for those of you who don’t, it’s the football game that Cal plays against our sworn rivals, Stanfurd. No disrespect to any scholars in Stanford or scholars aspiring to go to Stanford but that’s just how I was told to refer…
I am currently attending Berkeley City College for fall semester and it’s been great. However, there were a few bumps in the beginning. I didn’t realize that the syllabus was so important. IT IS. Reading it thoroughly was something I didn’t do which I regret not doing. I had to drop a class because of…
Hi all, I wanted to share some of the things I noticed since I’ve been in college; but most importantly, the change I noticed in the second week of college while I was sitting in the lobby of Dwinelle Hall. Usually on the hour, every hour its hallway rush hour. Literally hundreds of people: students,…
I moved to the dorm at UC Berkeley on August 23rd. My dorm is located about a hill, and it’s really beautiful here. My dorm is in a castle (a hall that is officially a castle which was built in 1928). It looks like Hogwarts from Harry Potter. Sometimes turkeys and deer come here from…
