2 Years in the University of California Berkeley

My second year at this school came to close last week and so I decided to spend an entry on what I’ve learned about the town and the college.

Things I’ve learned about Berkeley so far:

-Engineers are both the most sane and insane people at this school.
-The first week(s) of every semester, you’ll see a lot of attractive people on this campus.  Then comes midterm season, and you wonder, where did they all go?
-Unless you’re in a sorority, your standards of beauty will dip considerably after coming here.  (That goes for more than just people.)
-You can make friends over the Internet.
-You can be so lazy that rather than turn around to talk to your roommate, you’ll actually AIM him/her.
-For some reason, you can have two people be best friends and not worship the same god. Yet if one guy votes Republican and the other votes Democrat, the gloves are off.
Edited:-Legislature in this town is so whack that they won’t allow you to use a stryofoam cup. They also “banned” nuclear weapons in space, with no power over that what so ever.  (It was in a Patriot article, can’t remember which).
Edited:-You’ll be able to pronounce 10 syllable Indian names easily.
-Your computer will become both the “cause of and solution to all your problems.” (Taken from Homer Simpson’s description of alcohol).
-The smartest guy in the city maybe the guy begging you for change.
Added:-Chances are someone else in this town listens to that same no name band you do.
Added:-Everyone will have a story that begins with either “I got so drunk…” or “He/she got so drunk…”
Added:-You can use more than 2 GB of bandwith a week downloading Family Guy episodes.

I’ll probably add a few more to this once if I think of anything.  I was inspired to write this after reading some more college humor.

    -You will never say the phrase “strange name” again.

    Huh?

    In any case, hope you’re having fun at home. And thanks for the testimonials pn friendster, I didn’t even realize most time we hang out, it’s almost always end up being past 3am! Lol =) Btw, do you have Darren’s email? I need to ask him about Math1b stuff ^^ Thanks!

    1. Some clarification

      Unless you’re in a sorority, your standards of beauty will dip considerably after coming here. (That goes for more than just people.)
      Yeah that one was a little hard to get unless I explain it. I was just commenting on how people end up lowering their standards of beauty, unless they live in soroities and spend a lot of money on the looks of the house and themseleves. (Yeah it’s a little less funny that way.

      -You will never say the phrase “strange name” again.
      I should have said interesting name. It’s just you met a lot of people with names you can’t pronounce. I think I’ll change the joke.

      I don’t have his email, but he is on facebook. Just search for Derren Moy.

    1. Re: YOU ARE IN DANIEL’S FRAT!
