Sure, you get some exercise, but you’re constantly tired out and never on time. So, for those of you who have decided to take the plunge and bring a car to Cal, we at the Clog would like to recommend some of the best. When it comes to Berkeley, these three are undoubtedly on the honor roll.</p>
<p><strong>1. Honda Fit</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_234730" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/10/fit.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-234730" alt="Size matters" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/10/fit-400x239.jpg" width="400" height="239" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Size matters, folks. We like &#8216;em small.</p></div>
<p dir="ltr">This spritely little auto has a lot going for it. The cash-strapped college student will not only appreciate how cheap it is to purchase (the Fit is one of the cheapest new cars you can buy), but also how little it costs to run. And not only does the Fit give you stellar mileage, but this is a Honda we’re talking about here. That means that it will never, ever break down — hell, it’ll probably outlast you. And then there’s the Honda Fit’s real calling card: its size. This thing takes the definition of compact car to a whole new level: We’ve seen bikes bigger than this thing. That really pays major dividends when you’re hustling down Telegraph, dodging seemingly blind motorists and obnoxious Cal students left and right (seriously, wait for the goddamn walk symbol). And that tiny parking spot on Bancroft? You can slip in while every compensating jerk in his SUV tries (and fails) to fit. Sometimes in a huge city like Berkeley, it pays to go small.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>2. Toyota Prius C</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_234732" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/10/prius.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-234732" alt="Tree huggers will love you" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/10/prius-400x266.jpg" width="400" height="266" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tree huggers will love you.</p></div>
<p dir="ltr">Fun fact: did you know the Prius actually isn’t just one car anymore? It’s evolved into a line of cars from Toyota that includes the Prius C, the baby Prius. This small and cheap (noticing a theme?) hybrid is great for a lot of the reasons that the Fit stands out, but it excels even more than the Honda in fuel economy. Driving around Berkeley is a decidedly slow affair, and cars burn a lot more fuel at lower speeds than at higher ones (especially when you factor in the fuel wasted waiting at one of Berkeley’s infamous red lights). The Prius C, however, skips around this by being a hybrid. So what does this mean to you? Less money spent on gas, and more for books! Or booze. Let’s be honest, you’re probably going to spend it on booze.</p>
<p><strong> 3. Subaru Impreza</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_234731" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/10/impreza.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-234731" alt="Just don't get this color, and you'll be fine. " src="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/10/impreza-400x266.jpg" width="400" height="266" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Just don&#8217;t get this color, and you&#8217;ll be fine.</p></div>
<p>Sure, this Subaru is a bit chunky and more expensive compared to the last two cars. But there’s a reason for this: This car places a priority on safety. It’s aced nearly every crash test it’s been put through, and it has a bunch of technologies on board that keep you out of an accident in the first place (like all-wheel-drive). When you wrap your shiny new car around a tree, you’ll certainly feel embarrassed. But at least you might have a shot at walking away with only your car and pride in pieces. Safety first, folks. Especially with a bunch of aggravated, sleep-deprived Berkeley kids.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='entry-thumb wp-caption horizontal'><div class='photo-credit-wrap'><img width="540" height="450" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/10.01.13.football.danielhaidermota_FINAL-540x450.jpg" class="attachment-large wp-post-image" alt="10.01.13.football.danielhaidermota_FINAL" /></div></div><p dir="ltr">Last Saturday, Cal wasn’t the only Pac-12 team catching a beating in the Pacific Northwest. While Cal stumbled to a 55-16 defeat at the hands of Oregon, Washington State was in the midst of its own embarrassing loss to Stanford at CenturyLink Field.</p>
<p>But No. 2 Oregon and No. 5 Stanford routing Cal and Washington State is nothing to write home about — after all, both victors are arguably the two best teams in the Pac-12, while Cal and Washington State are expected to be bottom-dwellers in the conference.</p>
<p>And on Saturday, the bottom-dwellers are set to clash at Memorial Stadium. Key for both teams will be generating a disruptive pass rush. Since 2012, Cal’s struggles in the trenches are well-documented. Even with head coach Sonny Dykes taking over for Jeff Tedford and the Air Raid replacing the pro-style offense ran under Tedford, the offensive line has still failed to make any improvements — the Bears surrender nearly four sacks every game despite the rapid-fire offensive system.</p>
<p>It’s an area in which Washington State holds an advantage over Cal. While the offensive line play in Pullman has been subpar, the Cougars still allow under two sacks per game. If Cal hopes to come away with its first Pac-12 win against the Cougars, the pass rush will need to improve drastically. Through the first four games, Cal averaged just one sack per game, tying for 111th in the country.</p>
<p>But in Washington State’s loss to Stanford on Saturday, the Cardinal provided Cal with a blueprint for getting to the quarterback — specifically, when Cougars quarterback Connor Halliday was sacked and stripped by Stanford defensive end Josh Mauro in the first quarter.</p>
<p>On the play, Mauro is credited with the sack, but the real praise should be directed at blitzing linebacker A.J. Tarpley. The senior blitzes the gap between the left tackle and left guard and is rewarded with a path to the quarterback with only a running back in his way. While Tarpley capitalized on the freeway to Halliday by flushing him out the right and into Mauro, the gap between the left guard and left tackle wouldn’t have appeared without a crucial Cougar mistake.</p>
<p>Stanford rushes three defensive linemen, while its defender lined up over Washington State’s left tackle drops back into pass coverage over the middle. Stanford defensive coordinator Derek Mason deserves credit for a perfectly timed play call. With Washington State running two mirroring crossing patterns over the field and Stanford’s middle linebacker blitzing, it appears to Halliday that the middle of the field is wide open. But with the defender lined up over the left tackle migrating to the middle of the field, Mason accounts for the crossing patterns, even with Tarpley blitzing.</p>
<p>Washington State’s costly mistake is committed by left guard Joe Dahl. The gap for Tarpley opens up because of a mental error by Drahl. The redshirt sophomore should be the one picking up Tarpley, but instead, Dahl’s attention is focused on the defensive tackle, who starts his pass rush to the left. Left tackle Gunner Eklund is solely responsible for blocking Stanford’s right end. Center Elliot Bosch and right guard John Fullington should be matched up against Stanford’s defensive tackle, and right tackle Rico Forbes is tasked with taking care of Mauro.</p>
<p>With Tarpley running free through the gap, Washington State running back Marcus Mason steps up and delivers a solid block on Tarpley. Despite applying the proper blocking technique, Mason is still moved backward by Tarpley — weighing in at 238 pounds, the linebacker outweighs the smaller running back by 50 pounds. Tarpley’s blitz forces Halliday to the right side of the pocket, where Mauro is working one-on-one with Forbes. The right tackle does his job perfectly, holding Mauro at bay. But with Halliday drifting to his right, Halliday essentially walks right into the waiting arms of Maurio, who causes a fumble with a vicious hit.</p>
<p>By only rushing four total defenders on the play — three linemen and one linebacker — seven of Stanford’s defenders are left in coverage against four Washington State receivers. Between five linemen, the blitz should be picked up, but Dahl, Bosch and Fullington triple-team the interior lineman, essentially laying out a path to the quarterback for Tarpley. In a nutshell, Mason confuses the Cougars’ offensive line.</p>
<p>It’s a strategy that Cal should utilize on Saturday. Even worse than Cal’s defensive line has been the play by its defensive backs. Cal can’t afford to send the house at Halliday and leave its corners one-on-one with Cougar receivers. Instead, defensive coordinator Andy Buh needs to focus on confusing a Washington State offensive line that failed to pick up a fairly simply blitz concept against Stanford.</p>
<p>Working against Buh and the Bears is the recent dismissal of defensive end Chris McCain. Last season, McCain tied for the team lead in sacks with then-senior Kendrick Payne. With both sack leaders from last year absent, and with the defensive lineman DeAndre Coleman failing to live up to his potential, pressure on the quarterback is going to have to be a product of defensive scheme, not a result of individual ability.

But there are more! Not only have Cal alums ended up on the big screen, but they&#8217;ve also been exercising influence through well-established magazines and nationally beloved comic strips. Do you think you can easily pick out the famous Golden Bear? Again, we&#8217;ll give you two famous people, and you be the judge.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>Round 1: </strong>Jann Simon Wenner (the founder of <em>Rolling Stone</em>) or Larry King (the former host of CNN&#8217;s <em>Larry King Live</em>)?</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/8315489800_117c91d2b8_n-1.jpg"><img class="wp-image-229151 alignleft" alt="8315489800_117c91d2b8_n-1" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/8315489800_117c91d2b8_n-1.jpg" width="320" height="215" /></a><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/3573693132_fcc50acdbf_n.jpg"><strong><strong><em><img class="wp-image-229183 alignnone" alt="3573693132_fcc50acdbf_n" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/3573693132_fcc50acdbf_n-231x300.jpg" width="150" height="215" /></em></strong></strong></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>Answer: Jann Simon Wenner. </strong>Jann Wenner attended UC Berkeley in the late &#8217;60s. He was actively involved in the Free Speech Movement and wrote a column called &#8220;Something&#8217;s Happening&#8221; in <em>The</em> <em>Daily Californian</em>!</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>Round 2: </strong>Thomas &#8220;Tom&#8221; Anderson (the co-founder of Myspace) or Sean Parker (the founder of Napster)?</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/315069712_3a83c58a10_n.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-229146 alignleft" alt="315069712_3a83c58a10_n" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/315069712_3a83c58a10_n.jpg" width="256" height="167" /></a><strong></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/6256555261_785d90745d_n.jpg"><img class="wp-image-229147 alignnone" alt="6256555261_785d90745d_n" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/6256555261_785d90745d_n.jpg" width="256" height="166" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>Answer: Thomas &#8220;Tom&#8221; Anderson. </strong>We all know (and were probably MySpace friends with) &#8220;Tom from Myspace!&#8221; But you might not know that Tom actually studied rhetoric and English at UC Berkeley before going on to co-found the social networking site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong> Round 3: </strong>Rube Goldberg (the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist) or Stephen Hillenburg (the creator of <em>SpongeBob</em>)?</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/96983232_d80801a108.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-229260 alignleft" alt="96983232_d80801a108" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/96983232_d80801a108-400x289.jpg" width="287" height="207" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/94251617_8fe4da6760.jpg"><img class="wp-image-229259 alignnone" alt="94251617_8fe4da6760" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/94251617_8fe4da6760-400x259.jpg" width="320" height="207" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left">
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>Answer: Rube Goldberg.</strong> Goldberg — who is famously known for his cartoons depicting complicated ways of accomplishing simple tasks — graduated from UC Berkeley in 1904.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>Round 4: </strong>Scott Adams (the creator of &#8220;Dilbert&#8221;) or Jim Davis (the creator of &#8220;Garfield&#8221;)?</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/81506938_5ba2f4bb98.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-229155 alignleft" alt="81506938_5ba2f4bb98" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/81506938_5ba2f4bb98-400x141.jpg" width="315" height="122" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/4181733093_0595492e9a.jpg"><img class="wp-image-229158 alignnone" alt="4181733093_0595492e9a" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/4181733093_0595492e9a-400x119.jpg" width="323" height="107" /></a><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong>Answer: Scott Adams. </strong>Scott Adams earned his MBA from UC Berkeley.</p>

If so, you probably know that UC Berkeley&#8217;s got some pretty big names attached to it — Nobel laureates, best-selling authors, hard-hitting journalists &#8230; and good ol&#8217; fashioned celebrities. Curious to know how much you know about the alum who found his or her way to fame in the entertainment industry post-Cal? Then you&#8217;ve come to the right place. We&#8217;ll give you two celebrities — you guess which one is a fellow Golden Bear:</p>
<p><strong>Round 1:</strong> <strong>Catherine Zeta-Jones or Chris Pine?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/Zeta-JonesvPine.png"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-228298" alt="Zeta-JonesvPine" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/Zeta-JonesvPine.png" width="614" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Answer: Chris Pine</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>You probably know him from &#8220;Star Trek.&#8221; But did you know that Chris Pine graduated from Cal with an English degree in 2002?</p>
<p><b>Round 2: Keanu Reeves or Morgan Webb?</b></p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/ReevesvWebb.png"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-228299" alt="ReevesvWebb" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/ReevesvWebb.png" width="614" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><b>Answer: Morgan Webb</b></p>
<p>Best known for hosting X-Play, Webb also graduated from Cal with a degree in rhetoric and a minor in Italian.</p>
<p><strong>Round 3: Amy Poehler or Adam Lamberg?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/PoehlervLamberg.png"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-228301" alt="PoehlervLamberg" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/PoehlervLamberg.png" width="614" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Answer: Adam Lamberg</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Remember Lizzie McGuire&#8217;s go-to guy, Gordo? He once attended UC Berkeley!</p>
<p><strong>Round 4: Sanaa Lathan or Gregory Peck?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/LathanvPeck.png"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-228304" alt="LathanvPeck" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/09/LathanvPeck.png" width="614" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Answer: Both!</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Peck is best known for his role as Atticus in &#8220;To Kill a Mockingbird,&#8221; and you might recognize Lathan from &#8220;Blade&#8221; and &#8220;Alien vs. Predator.&#8221; Both earned an English degree here at Cal.</p>

New semester, new start, right? But what else does that mean, you ask? That’s right. It means an entirely new set of tweets, Facebook statuses and Instagram photos we’re dealing with. If you’re unaware of what we’re talking about, here are a couple of things you’ll be seeing on the interweb for these next couple of weeks:</p>
<p><b>“REUNITED!!!!” pics. </b>All over Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and whatever else, expect to see dozens of #reunited photos with boys and girls holding on to each other for dear life. It may or may not look like one person has another person in a chokehold, but please recognize that this is what some do to show affection. Do not be alarmed by the violent poses.</p>
<p><b>Complaints about Tele-BEARS. </b>“Tele-BEARS is ruining my life,” or “Can they please stop spending money on the balloons at Crossroads and spend more money on fixing Tele-BEARS????” might be some recurring Facebook statuses you come across these next couple of weeks during the adjustment period. Social media is the most convenient way to complain about Tele-BEARS to your fellow Cal students, as they will see your complaints and approve of said complaints by clicking the “like” or &#8220;favorite&#8221; button or retweeting them.</p>
<p><b>DIY dorm and apartment photos. </b>Ah, don’t we love it when all forms of social media become Pinterest? In these next couple of weeks, expect to see pretty DIY bulletin boards consisting of cork and scrapbooky flowers or DIY monogrammed everything. Use these photos to get ideas for your own dorm or apartment! DIY space-saving is essential to living in Berkeley as a student, so make sure to keep an eye for that!</p>
<p>What do you expect to see on social media for these next few weeks as we arrive back at Cal? Let us know in the comments!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='entry-thumb wp-caption horizontal'><div class='photo-credit-wrap'><img width="698" height="450" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/08/5093910979_9edda8ec29_b-e1375992505868.jpg" class="attachment-large wp-post-image" alt="pet.peeve.clog" /></div></div><p>If you go to Cal or went to Cal, there are definitely situations that you have experienced that grind your gears. When you try to explain these things to people who do not go to Cal, they may find your complaints to be very trivial. And although they <i>are </i>very trivial, when these irksome situations occurred, your thoughts were probably similar to something like, “10 out of 10, would punch someone in the face right now.” Here are a couple of things that might aggravate you if you are or were a Cal student:</p>
<p><b>1. When the Campanile just won’t stop</b> <strong>… <i>especially</i> during midterms and finals weeks</strong>. We love the Campanile&#8217;s beautiful array of chimes and tunes, and we <em>always</em> love guessing which song it’s playing at the time. But when you have 24 hours until your next econ exam and your classical music study playlist is being overpowered by the sound of Katy Perry’s “Firework” in bell form, there’s a point when you have to say to the Campanile, “CAN YOU NOT?”</p>
<p><b>2. Studying on the weekends at night. </b>This is especially troublesome for those living in the dorms and apartments on Southside. It’s a Saturday night, and you’ve got an exam on Monday. You told yourself you were going to be a responsible student this weekend and stay in on a Saturday night in order to finish answering all of those questions on that study guide. It’s 10 p.m., and you hear the stomping of the pregamers leaving down the hallway. You’re jealous that you aren’t one of them, but at least they’ll be gone for a solid couple of hours and leave you in peace. Three hours later, you’ve gotten a good amount of studying done, and after your third coffee, you’re ready to take on some more. It’s at that moment when you hear what sounds like the background noise of animals from “The Lion King” outside of your window and down the hallway. Nothing better than the sounds and smells of the intoxicated to get your brain waves going, are we right?!</p>
<p><b>3. Getting fliered at when you haven’t had your coffee yet. </b>We all know the feeling. Especially if you have morning classes, the feeling of being the victim of active flier distribution on Sproul is essentially the same feeling you get when you see the person in your life who annoys the shit out of you the most. It’s really awful to think that, we know — and to those of you who pass out those fliers, please don’t take this personally — but we just can’t help it! The thought of having to force ourselves out of bed, crawl to our 9 a.m. classes and then<i> </i>be attacked by someone who is clearly on a much superior level of happiness than we are makes a person cynical.</p>
<p><b>4. Fliering at someone who hasn’t had his or her coffee yet. </b>It works both ways, everyone. When you’re fliering for whichever organization you are a part of and you approach a random pedestrian with your flier, you may receive a look that suggests a phrase you might know: “Fuck off.” Your initial reaction might be “WHY DOESN’T ANYONE LIKE ME?” But please do not blame yourself, and please do not allow your self-esteem to go down just because someone ninja&#8217;d his or her way out of receiving your flier. It’s OK. It’ll all be OK.</p>
<p><b>5. There’s only one dude in the row, and he decided to take the seat on the very edge.</b> Honestly, we’ve all probably done this. Of course, lefties are exempted from this category. But there’s always that one person who thinks that it’ll be a great idea to sit on the very edge and then get annoyed every time someone has to squeeze past him or her to get to a seat inside of the row. We have something to say to this person: &#8220;DUDE! YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELF, OK? Stop rolling your eyes at me! And stop acting like my butt (rubbing against your desk and knocking over your papers) is Satan!&#8221;</p>

Living up to the prestige of our cherished school is probably the most difficult experience you&#8217;ve ever had in your life. But despite all the stress — the early morning classes and late night paper-writing — college is a wonderful time, especially at Cal, so appreciate the perks you have here as long as you can.</p>
<p><strong>1. You don&#8217;t have to get up nearly as early as you would for a job.</strong> We admit that maybe you&#8217;re that unlucky student with the 8 a.m. discussion by yourself. But even with that unfortunate class time, you&#8217;ll never have classes from 9 to 5 — with no breaks — for five days a week.</p>
<p><strong>2. You know what you&#8217;re supposed to do.</strong> Write a paper? No problem. Talk to your GSI. Contribute to discussion? Please, you know how to work bSpace. Once you get a job and step into the &#8220;real world,&#8221; you&#8217;ll have to figure new things out all over again.</p>
<p><strong>3. You could just not show up.</strong> We&#8217;re definitely not recommending this, because we&#8217;re sure your professor — and whoever is monitoring your GPA — will notice eventually. But in the short term, you won&#8217;t get kicked out if you skip class without telling anyone. Try that with your boss.</p>
<p><strong>4. You have some long breaks between classes or days without class at all</strong>. Get a job, and you&#8217;ll (hopefully) be working five days a week for at least eight hours a day. While steady paychecks are wonderful, say goodbye to your 3 p.m. nap — unless you somehow find a forward-thinking employer who values your night-owl circadian rhythm.</p>
<p><strong>5. You don&#8217;t have to get dressed … not really.</strong> We don&#8217;t recommend tripping around in your PJs every day of the semester, but school is a time when you might just be able to get away with that. In the working world, it&#8217;s really not the best impression to make at a professional job.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s plenty of stress to be experienced during the summer, but it isn&#8217;t unbearable. College will end at some point, so we might as well enjoy it while we can.</p>

This particular UC campus definitely took after its big-sister school. But what can be more awkward than this relationship between sibling schools? Conversations with a sibling who attends the sibling school. Here at the Clog, we highlighted some awkward similarities you may discover when talking about college life with a sibling who is a UCLA Bruin:</p>
<p><em>That awkward moment when&#8230;</em></p>
<p>1. <strong>You talk about how much you love reading The Daily Californian</strong>. Then your Bruin sibling admits that he or she loves reading —you&#8217;ve guessed it! — The Daily Bruin.</p>
<p>2. <strong>You love blue and gold</strong>. Then you discover your Bruin sibling also loves blue and gold — baby blue, that is.</p>
<p>3. <strong>You&#8217;re singing &#8220;Sons of California.&#8221;</strong> Then from a distance, you hear your Bruin sibling sing &#8220;Sons of Westwood.&#8221;</p>
<p>4. <strong>You talk about CREAM.</strong> Then discover that Diddy Riese is the exact same thing.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Someone yells &#8220;Go Bruins!&#8221;</strong> Then you discover that this explicitly excludes you, unlike when someone yells &#8220;Go Bears!&#8221;</p>
<p>6. <strong>Your sibling gets mad when you say that UC Berkeley has more Nobel laureates</strong>. Even though you&#8217;ve never met one.</p>
<p>7. <strong>You get mad at your sibling because UCLA has more TV commercials</strong>. But hey, it was just Kareem Abdul-Jabbar dribbling a basketball with people chasing him.</p>
<p>8. <strong>You accidentally say that UC Berkeley is the No. 1 public university</strong>. And your Bruin sibling says nothing.</p>
<p>9. <strong>You hate red</strong>. Then you find out that your Bruin sibling also hates red.</p>
<p>Regardless of rankings, we are all part of one united UC system and, for some, part of one big family. Though now all Cal vs. UCLA sporting events will be a tad awkward, ice cream cookie sandwiches or nearly identical mascots shouldn&#8217;t get between family.</p>
<p>What are some awkward college conversations you&#8217;ve had with a sibling that attends a different UC school? Share with us in the comments!</p>

But there are also some things — fun or quirky things — that you might actually miss about Berkeley. The good thing is that you can try to get those things when you&#8217;re not in Berkeley. Here&#8217;s how:</p>
<p><strong>Go to Peet&#8217;s.</strong> Even if you don&#8217;t need the caffeine for an 8 a.m. discussion, enjoy a cup of coffee. You can go get an iced latte at Starbucks too, but we recommend Peet&#8217;s because it was founded in Berkeley and can be found on nearly every block in our city, including in front of Crossroads.</p>
<p><strong>Scrapbook.</strong> Do you walk into Michael&#8217;s and walk out two hours later with more craft supplies than you know what to do with? Next time you crafty people do that, pick up some scrapbook paper and an album. Summer is a great time to reflect on your years at Cal, and it&#8217;s a great time to put those reflections on paper.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t just go to the movies.</strong> We all appreciate a good summer flick. But it&#8217;s good to check out something a little different too. Maybe your hometown has a free concert or a Shakespeare festival you never knew about. Outdoor events that offer cheap student admission don&#8217;t just exist in Berkeley.</p>
<p><strong>Read a book.</strong> We&#8217;re from Cal; a lot of us are total book nerds. But even if you love books, you might forget to read if you&#8217;re too busy. Before you know it, you&#8217;ll be out of sorts and wondering why. It&#8217;s because your brain&#8217;s probably crying out for something imaginative or thought-provoking. Whether it&#8217;s the latest thriller best seller or a Victorian-era novel, remind yourself how much you love reading.</p>
<p><strong>Find a squirrel.</strong> You can find the greedy little fur balls in more than just your college town. Don&#8217;t believe us? Check out a park you haven&#8217;t visited in a while. Different varieties of the species inhabit all of North America. But if you really just cannot find a squirrel in your local park, there&#8217;s always the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BerkeleySquirrels?fref=ts" target="_blank">Berkeley Squirrels</a> Facebook page.</p>
<p>Are there other things you miss about Berkeley? How do you stay connected to your adopted city when you&#8217;re not there? Let us know in the comments!</p>
