<p>That was really funny! ha ha ha!</p>

2645

<p>You won an award for that? It’s just you gossiping. Zero research involved (you’re already an expert on your own life) and zero skill involved (jokes are not hard to write). If this was the assignment to prepare you for giving speeches in the real world, it didn’t work.</p>

2646

<p>I’m back! lol Cal Day was awesome. I’ll write up my experience here and post some pictures on facebook for those that want to hear about it. For now, I’m going to read the last 15 pages of this thread to see what I missed!</p>

2647

<p>What if I just quit college and become an FBI cop. I wanna have a gun and badge and look badass in a suit like they do in tv shows. I wonder if they get a lot of women…</p>

2648

2652

<p>@ AJ: AGONOSTIC FTW! lol. I totally agree, man. Anyway, yeah, I’ve been at Cal Day/SF…it’s been a long 24 hours.</p>

<p>At Cal Day I hit:</p>

<ul>
<li>The psychology of sleep seminar</li>
<li>Alan Schoenberg’s Education seminar <<- absolute genius</li>
<li>Spirit Rally (AMAZING)</li>
<li>The Psych Major at UCB (how to get involved in research)</li>
<li>fraternity/sorority life</li>
<li>co-op tour of Cloyne…wow.</li>
<li>ate at Smart Alec’s (love this place)</li>
</ul>

<p>& took some pictures! I’ll have them developed and uploaded asap.</p>

<p>I ended up going to a club in SF afterward with my friends. Ugh. lol. Glad to be back home.</p>

<p>@ Evan: Those are some great videos you posted! I watched all of them lol even the one with the bike (the whole 2 and a half mins). </p>

<p>@ Victoria: I liked your speech! You presented it so well! I’m in speech class right now :frowning: and I’m not nearly as strong a speaker.</p>

<p>@ Mom: I missed you! lol. No for real, you know you love College Confidential when you’re walking around at Cal Day and thinking to yourself, “Oh damn, - I better remember that so that I can tell my CC buddies!”</p>

2653

<p>I just talked to a Berkeley student… dammit… she’s swayed me. I don’t know what I want anymore.</p>

2654

<p>@emil haha dude, now that you’ve visited Cal again, what do you think??? UCLA or Cal?</p>

2655

<p>The KKG house at Cal is SUPER cute.

It’s like a little mansion.</p>

2656

<p>@ AJ: It’s a no-brainer for me now. For a little while I was completely torn, but I’ve returned to my roots. I’m going to be a Bear if I get in. I love Berkeley - everything about Berkeley. The people, the energy, the sense of purely unadulterated freedom, the environment, the weather, the psych department, the students, the Campanile, the intellectual stimulation…just everything. I’ve never been to a school that felt so right for me. Plus, Cal has a Frat Row. UCLA, while having fraternities, does not have a frat row. Cal’s sports programs are peaking lately. The brilliance I observed in the people and place, itself, is something I have yet to see anywhere else.</p>

2657

<p>Here is a quote from a guy who went to Berkeley. I read this on one of the UCB threads, so yes, it may be biased, but it made me so excited about Berkeley.</p>

<p>"Now, I’m not saying you’re going to get a better education at Cal. You’re going to get a stellar education at both UCLA and Cal. But when it comes to name recognition and the percieved prestige among employers and your co-workers, Cal is clearly tops. I guarantee you that, all things being equal, the Cal grad has a better chance at landing a top notch job than a UCLA grad. Tech/Engineering, Silicon Valley? Cal. Finance (NYC, consulting firms like Bain, international finance)? Cal. Public policy (D.C.)? Cal. The only area which I think a UCLA grad has a bit more leg up is Media/Arts, but just because of its proximity to Hollywood and the industry there.</p>

<p>As for being “fun,” I really don’t understand how people think Berkeley is not fun. Its was a blast for me. My younger bro went to UCLA and I was bored to death everytime I visited. Yeah, Berkeley is wild, crazy, uninhibited, chaotic. That’s why its fun! You get out of class, go get a slice of pizza and watch crazy hippies on milk crates yelling about how the end of the world is near. Hilarious. College, for me, was about getting to experience the world in all of its unvarnished, messy glory. Cal gave it to me in spades."</p>

2658

<p>@ Evan: I know what you mean. There’s so much to like about both schools! What sort of things did the Cal student tell you that has made you sway a bit?</p>

2659

<p>@emil woohoo!!! Glad you’re back to your roots man!!! If I get into Cal, I’m going there too! All I’ve gotta figure out now is what #2 is :slight_smile: (probably ucla?) lol</p>

2660

<p>@ AJ: I thought you had fallen in love with Davis? YES! lol I’m glad you’re planning on being a Bear as well! Everything about Cal Day just confirmed my decision. I was blown away. </p>

<p>This video was taken a year or 2 ago, but was exactly like the Spirit Rally yesterday:</p>
