School has been a lot harder than I expected. I knew it was going to be hard but I didn’t think it would be this much. Currently I’m taking math 1, english comp 3, and sex: through biology and gendered society. The hardest thing is the workload all the classes give me, all the readings…
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,…
Starting off college was very ruff due to family emergencies. College is a little bit of a challenge for me still. Having to find different buildings and the classrooms stressed me out the most.

College life for me was something really unexpected, i am the first in my family to actually attend college so there were a few things i was behind on already. The first thing that is immediately different is that no one forces you to do your homework or go to class, coming from high school…
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…
