If Donald Trump’s Advisors And Cabinet Members Went To UC Berkeley As Freshmen

You know something is wrong when Steve Bannon makes Kellyanne Conway look normal.

ABC News

1) Jeff Sessions, Attorney General

Major: Definitely not African-American studies, if you know what I mean.

Typical Starbucks order: White chocolate mocha, emphasis on the “white.”

Favorite spot on campus: Anywhere that doesn’t smell like weed. In fact, he once told his roommate, “I thought the Ku Klux Klan was okay until I found out they smoked pot.” Unfortunately for him, a student overheard his conversation, and, well, there goes any opportunity for him to run for ASUC senator in the future. Tsk tsk.

2) Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education

Major: Education with a minor in social welfare… LOL, just kidding. She’s undecided.

Typical Starbucks order: Pumpkin spice latte.

Favorite spot on campus: Too busy hanging out with some of her rich sorority sisters on Greek Row to go to class. Manages to write utter drivel on her Anthro essay and still get a barely passing grade, similar to how she was cleared to become EdSec only after VP Mike Pence broke the Congress tiebreaker. (I mean, she thinks guns should be allowed in schools in case “the grizzlies come.” Can you get any more stupid than that?)

3) Rick Perry, Secretary of Energy

Major: Rick’s been too busy trying to juggle school and football, so he hasn’t had the time to figure out what he wants to pursue. Underwater basket weaving, maybe?

Typical Starbucks order: Sweet tea lemonade.

Favorite spot on campus: Rick’s morning includes two hours of intensely working out at the RSF and five hours of football practice on the field. He then returns to his spacious double in Clark Kerr, but when he realizes that he forgot to study for the next day’s midterm, all he can possibly say is “Oops.”

4) Ben Carson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development

Major: MCB--Neurobiology, pre-med. He also wants to dabble into pre-law, but no one has the guts to tell him that it really isn’t a good idea. No, seriously. He’s not cut out for pre-law. At all.

Typical Starbucks order: Silly Americans. Coffee is not healthy! But, if you insist, Ben really likes the new smoked butterscotch latte.

Favorite spot on campus: Ben doesn’t really like spending time on campus. The Suitcase Clinic and Berkeley Free Clinic weren't his style, so he spends every other day and weekend at Alta Bates. When he’s not shadowing neurosurgeons and working at the hospital gift shop, he sits in his room at Foothill, studying his butt off for his next Chem 3A midterm.

5) Steve Bannon, Chief Strategist and Senior Adviser

Major: Literally anything that isn’t related to racial/cultural diversity, feminism, LGBTQ rights, or science. Which rules out a lot.

Typical Starbucks order: Vanilla bean frappuccino. The color of the drink is white, and Bannon is, y’know, a white supremacist.

Favorite spot on campus: The Berkeley College Republicans kicked him out of their organization because he was “too extreme.” So, now, he has nowhere to go. Sad!

6) Jared Kushner, Senior Adviser

Major: Economics and political science, pre-Haas.

Typical Starbucks order: Vanilla sweet cream cold brew.

Favorite spot on campus: Jared loves spending time with his pre-business student organization, but when he isn’t climbing his way to the top of the Haas ladder, he spends time with his girlfriend because of her strong personality. Not because she has a rich dad, or anything like that. Definitely not.

While Jared is the youngest of this bunch, however, he possesses something that the others severely lack: a brain.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
