Alright it’s Tuesday, and I was supposed to be blogging about graffiti when I thought of those poorly penned, graffiti-like chalk messages adorning the corners of classroom blackboards. So they’re far from being vandalism, but I actually had a professor last semester who would have a sort of a semi-weekly morning ritual erasing all of those free [...]

Her music style is airy and piercing at the same time; she sounds like Lily Allen if Lily Allen could sing an octave higher (as in “The Fear”). [Madeline] [...]
Before every semester, some 22,000 undergraduates register for classes at Berkeley. Doing so while maintaining sanity, however, is another matter. As a student with “sophomoron” standing, my registration appointment was yesterday. Current status: offically enrolled for 10 units and waitlisted for another 7 units, even for a class that I wasn’t sure I wanted to [...]
