theres a nice cafe on san pablo if you're 21 or over theres a bar game place in san pablo too buy some drinks and play board games, it's fun :]

there are also lots of other things you can do outside of berkeley :]

Isn't Berkeley just less than an hour away from San Francisco? Shouldn't there be things to do there?
Eddie
^ That's what I was thinking.

I'm applying to Berkeley and it's high on my list. I'm from NY so I know nothing about california..let alone the berkeley area.

I was assuming there'd be plenty to do at sanfran, or just the berkeley campus...but is it THAT boring and dull there?!?!
WhiteMorningStar
Thanks everyone for the replies.
Of course I know that San Francisco is 30min. to an hour away but who has time to do that on weekdays? And going out that far even on weekends isn't as easy as it sounds. Anyway, there's not much to do on campus or around campus but I'm sure later on in the semester, I'll be too busy with school work anyway.

Heh. Where do you all hang out, people? If you see a short little half-asian looking girl with red cape-like jacket, that's me. Hollerrrrrr. hahaha
k1D3Ck
I will be your friend, i think my younger sister might go to Berkeley.

short little half ASIAN girl....that describes about at least 20-30% of the school campus.....

anywho....a berkeley meet sounds kinda fun, but we should do it soon, before the work picks up. and you should know by now that workload just increases like exponentially phew.gif

DMCwhiz123
well as of right now, i have no plans for this weekend, so i guess i'm up for it. I"ve never been to japtown either...whats there to do in japtown?
helloSUNSHINE
WhiteMorningStar: hollaaaaaaaa. lol. I need friends too! dang it- it's harder than you would think to make a lot of friends. or maybe i'm not trying hard enough? lol. anyway~ lets be soompi buddies! i'm up for anything.
DMCwhiz123
its not that its hard to make friends. Its just that....in my experience, ppl just tend to not want to get to know each other unless there is that "right" senario, which almost never ever happens. That plus whereas in high school, you didn't need to take much effort to meet ppl and get to know them....the only real effort was to keep in touch with them out of school. However, in college, you gotta make effort to meet ppl, take effort to get to know people, and make effort to keep in touch afterwards....why else do you think you make so few friends from class and mostly from your dorm?

I'd ask you what you wore but there were so many people... Hmmm. Well, I probably stood out from the group with my red hat and scarf... O_O Yep. Green shirt. Red hat, scarf. That's me.

Graduating senior here biggrin.gif

Berkeley is like...boring in itself. I just hang out at friends' apartments and they come over to mine/etc. And we go eat at the ghetto. That's all we do in Berkeley. BUT. Thank goodness SF is so close. Friends and I go shopping there all the time (SHOPPING IS GREAT IN SF <33333333 and last week they had the BEST sales so I got loads of stuff <3333333). I also go clubbing there from time to time (when friends drive me ;D it's pretty impossible if you don't have a car)

BTW even though I've been here for almost 4 years I'm still not used to all the bums on the streets. And the constant smells of urine or barf or pot or a combination of those bug the hell out of me.
709394
i dont really remember anyone from AAA...there were too many people...because my friend and i went, and then we left before it even started...i mean, we were seated but then we left before anything started . DOnt plan to go back either...
WhiteMorningStar

wow, sounds crazy ohmy.gif I'm doing only one major and it's already a pain in the butt...I give you some props, though, for trying to put together all the subjects that you like biggrin.gif Good luck!!!
709394
^thats crazy.
Doubling is hard enough...tripling...wow...
DMCwhiz123
history isn't that hard of a degree, and english...well reading till your eyes go blind, and no clue what linguistics is

but seriously, you're better off getting honors in two of the majors than just getting 3. being a jack of all trades doesn't do you any good. people want specialists
