OMG! berkeley is SOOOOOO much fun!!! i absolutely love it here!!!!
I have made soo many new friends, and already i'm developing close relationships with a few of them. the people here are awesome, the campus is awesome, my dorming complex is awesome, the food is awesome, there are events every few hours which is awesome, all of the experiences are awesome, and in short - berkeley is awesome.
I am SO excited about this upcoming year!!! college is insane - take a bunch of people scattered throughout the US & the rest of the world, throw them together on a campus a few miles in diameter, and force them to interact and you have college. It's amazing - i've met people from as far as turkey to orange county to walnut creek to boston to the carolinas to right in downtown San HO - and i would have NEVER had the opportunity to meet ANY of these people if it had not been for college.
A piece of advice to those who have not yet started college - be as socially active as possible. I made an effort to introduce myself to every moving thing, and its paying off. I can't go anywhere without seeing a friendly face, and this is only the second day!!!! words can't describe how excited i am. gosh, and they have LAN parties every week, HALO tourneys, game board meetings, its INSANE. i know that i will absolutely LOVE it here, and i hope that you guys all manage to have a good time too.
i'll see you all on the other side.
