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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
