If the person I saw sleeping on the floor of the big stall of the East Asian Studies Library’s bathroom today (I’m not totally creepy, I glimpsed them through the crack!) is any indication, the average Berkeley student doesn’t have a whole lot of free time. And it goes without saying that if something as [...]
February is off and rolling and so are the events around campus! Check out a salsa class, learn about archaeological excavations on campus, listen to some storytelling or slam poetry and buy a Valentine gram on your way to one of these events. Check out all that’s happening this week: Monday, Feburary 6, 2012 [...]
The de Young Museum in San Francisco is the only venue to feature fifty paintings by Venetian old masters primarily from the sixteen century, including Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, Mantegna, and many more. All of these paintings are currently on loan from the Gemäldegalerie of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Currently, this is the [...]
A quick glance at the computers next to mine in Main Stacks and I see two people on facebook, one person shopping, another on tumblr and one more on gchat. This seems odd. I would think, since it is finals time and most of us have long, extensive papers to write, more computer screens would [...]
It’s 3:30 P.M. on a Friday afternoon. I have a completely clear schedule and an obscenely large bag of dirty clothes in the corner of my room that is screaming to be washed. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen. I have far too many daunting thoughts about laundry to even consider taking on such a [...]
After nearly a five-year hiatus, Evanescence has returned in October 2011 with the release of their third and newest self-titled album, Evanescence. Now, while their music is profound, and has been so ever since their debut in 2003, I’m not here to review their album. I would only regurgitate all of the wondrous praise that [...]
So what is there to do on a Tuesday afternoon? Go to lecture, catch up on assigned reading, sit around a table with Seth Rogen and Will Reiser…oh wait, I did that! You read right, I, being the lucky Caliber journalist that I am, was invited to attend a roundtable among a variety of media outlets [...]
Hello everyone at UC Berkeley, the world, and wherever you hail from! My name is Jo, a freshman at UC Berkeley, and this is my very first post. Griffin, Caliber’s blog manager, is wonderful enough to grant me my own column, and here I am! You may have read in my bio that I am [...]
Dead week will officially be over in one day. In 24 hours, all excuses, procrastination strategies and lazy day plans will be invalid, and finals week will be upon us. Sure, these past seven days have been great: leisurely café study days followed by wine night, Dexter Marathon, Beat-the Clock and Cinco de Mayo. But [...]
Most of those who ventured to Indio’s Empire Polo Field last weekend came back home claiming, “Coachella changed my life.” Exactly what this means I might only learn once I manage to attend the massive three-day music festival myself, but until then I can only gather my life-changing experiences from my time right here in [...]
