What Your Favorite Berkeley Coffee Shop Says About You

It's a known fact that every Berkeley student has a favorite coffee shop. Here's what our favorites say about us.

Peet's Coffee

You like to take your coffee to-go.Your favorite drink? Obviously the black tie. You wouldn't be caught dead holding a Starbucks cup because it's too mainstream for you. In reality, though, you're only slightly less basic than Starbucks drinkers.


Starbucks

Ah, Starbs. You love to hate it. Your order varies by season because Starbs knows every basic person needs a basic drink to match the season! The signature cup is a staple in your wardrobe and you're proud of it.


Caffe Strada

You're a sit and enjoy kind of coffee drinker. Nothing beats sipping a coffee while enjoying the beautiful weather of Berkeley and finishing that ten page paper due tomorrow.

Philz Coffee

If you're willing to go this far for coffee, it better be fantastic, and honestly, it is. You take pride in drinking Philz and know that even though it may take a little while to get there, it's always worth it. Peet's and Starbucks drinkers are all the same to you: basic.


Yali's Café

You first got hooked when you saw the mini-version of this coffee shop on campus. then, you discovered a bigger and better one on Oxford Street. You like your coffee straight and don't need any fancy syrups to make it good. Just an espresso for you.


Small Miscellaneous Coffee Shops

You don't mess around with your coffee. People may think their favorite coffee shops have the best coffee, but you know that your hole in the wall coffee shop has the best coffee in Berkeley and you're proud of it.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
