Believe it or not, it’s already that time of the semester. Dead week is creeping upon us with only a week of regular instruction left. The Clog knows that you’ll be seriously stressing out in a few days — or maybe you’re stressing out already — and we want you to Read More…
If you saw someone walking down Telegraph yesterday carrying a bunch of copies of Tina Fey’s “Bossypants” and were slightly confused as to why this person was handing them out to random people on the street, the Clog’s here to satiate your curiosity.

In a recent article by CBS News, UC Berkeley topped the list of 25 state universities with the happiest freshman population, with a 96.8 percent retention rate. Ordinarily, we’d think it’s a little haughty of CBS News to tell us how we feel — they don’t know us. But in Read More…
We know it sounds crazy, but the Clog has run into quite a few people lately who have hundreds of extra meal points. Insane frugality, hatred for dining hall food, laziness — there are a million explanations for this seemingly rare phenomenon. As much as it doesn’t seem like it, Read More…

Your phone doesn’t have the computing power to do anything that powerful, right? That’s what the Clog thought, too, until Read More…
We’ve all been there. It’s late at night, and you’ve just started your six-page essay that’s due tomorrow. Well, technically today, because it’s 2 a.m. It’s you versus the paper. You’re frantically writing, eyes glued to the word count at the bottom of your document. You don’t want to sound Read More…
As if you didn’t already have enough to do on 4/20 (um … Cal Day!), TEDx Berkeley has also been scheduled on that widely celebrated day. For those of you who are wondering, TED is not a person. It’s a world-renowned conference that brings together world leaders, innovators, individuals at the top of Read More…
We at the Clog love a good cup of coffee. In the midst of midterms and drowning beneath gargantuan stacks of assignments and six-page essays, we’re sure that every student here does, too.
