At Berkeley, we like to take pride in our individuality and diversity, but let’s face it: no matter the school, college kids tend to do the same types of things over summer vacation.

You are a globe trotter!

You love exploring new places, trying new things, and meeting new people. You are adventurous, and having as much fun as possible is your number one priority. Whether your summer involves studying abroad in Italy, volunteering in Costa Rica, or just working on your tan somewhere in the Caribbean, you know it will be one to remember. Be sure to take plenty of photos, but please, try to limit your exotic meal instagrams to one a day.

You are a camp counselor!

You are funny, outgoing, and creative. You’re a friend to little kids and animals alike, and you get along with everybody because you’re crafty and musical and sporty (and probably a little quirky). Your summer will be filled with all sorts of adventures, from horseback riding to tubing to extreme lanyard making. Expect to start the semester in style with enough tie-dye socks and friendship bracelets to make the whole school jealous of your camp swag.

You are a summer school student!

Look at you go, you over-achiever! You are a scholar with an almost insatiable thirst for knowledge, whose intelligence knows no bounds. Not content with the eight months (give or take) of schooling Berkeley offers you during the fall and spring semesters, you have elected to take your studies to the next level and get an advantage over your peers by taking even more classes over the summer! Either that or you’re stuck taking classes because you have to in order to graduate on time (and if that’s true, don’t worry, I’m right there with you), but can we all just pretend it’s the first one?

You are an intern!

You are industrious, focused, and driven. While your summer may not be the most glamorous, you’ve got an eye on the future: you know that all the file-sorting and coffee-fetching you do now will help you find job success down the road (plus, having saving up some spending money for the school year is nothing to frown at). You look good in a suit, and even if by the end of August you’re still not positive what constitutes “business casual” attire, take solace in the fact that no one else knows, either, but at least you’ve got a kick-ass resume.
