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.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
