Decide your major sooner than later:


Overall, the happiest people I have met at Cal are those who come in knowing exactly what they want to study, and how that will translate into their future career. The people who know exactly what they want put the right amount of effort in their classes, join clubs they enjoy and are passionate about, and build a strong group of friends that think a like. People that are undeclared, or really don’t know what they want to do with their life seem less happy, probably because they dont have a dream in mind to keep them motivated in the intense academic environment at Cal, and might not have an identity that they can connect to various clubs and social groups on campus.


Try things you never did before, and don’t be reluctant to try new things, unless it jeopardizes your grades or self-integrity
