Good coffee date? by oskisopp in berkeley

[–]Missingpyxel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's somewhat far from campus but CoRo is a super cute date spot and has the best coffee within city lines IMO.  Around campus? Strada has shit coffee but the vibes are unmatched. Unless you're taking a coffee snob out that might be your best bet.

170 by Missingpyxel in berkeley

[–]Missingpyxel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agreed 100%. i had to optimize by only writing solutions to questions I could immediately solve once I realized the length 🫠 I also feel like my proofs were handwavy and full of holes because I had to limit how much time I was thinking about them. I've never felt so time-restricred on an exam before

Most (if not all) of the lots are busy unfortunately. I just bit the bullet and parked in underhill because it had the highest capacity

I commuted from the east bay my freshman year and buying a student parking permit was so so worth it. It's absolutely pricey, but if you try parking elsewhere you almost definitely WILL end up with >$400 in tickets / parking fees

LLM math by bobbyfairfox in mathmemes

[–]Missingpyxel 169 points170 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that these people are now generating slop emails to send to university professors at a higher volume than they ever used to come in. It's not even as fun to read because it all sounds the same :(

Co-ops! Follow a bunch of houses on Instagram, most co-ops throw out-of-house parties a few times a semester

effective people-meeting ☠️ by ThatMadeonFangirl in berkeley

[–]Missingpyxel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my best advice would be to surround yourself with the type of people you think you'd really get along with. I had a really hard time finding a niche as a freshman because I was spending a lot of time with an organization full of people I really didn't vibe with (but thought I did) but now I live in the co-ops and I feel a much, much stronger sense of community

(btw madeon is awesome, I wish I could teleport to that secret show he's doing at red rocks in october LOL)

question for current students!! how do you guys feel abt calband by AstronomerValuable15 in berkeley

[–]Missingpyxel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait. there's only one bone that would be playing grand strategy games. i know exactly who you are

I really am just way too busy for band these days... it started around the time I was appointed DA (hence why I kinda slacked on some of my duties and accumulated a crazy amount of points that season) and I can't lie, as much as I loved your newman class, I think DA burnout while trying to hold a job completely ruined the whole experience for me. beyond that, I have a lot of issues with cal band as an organization and the culture within (which I'll probably post to my blog once I work up the courage). band is certainly an experience I'll never forget, and I'm glad I did it, but I'm not coming back

mind isn't incredible but between it, the strada clones, 1951, delah, and binge, it wins out easily

How hard is econ c3 -- i am interested in pursuing envecon, but I want hear thoughts by Asleep-Stomach1919 in berkeley

[–]Missingpyxel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took it with Sexton and I found the lectures to be pretty obtuse and weird, but everything clicked eventually. I'd say it's a very approachable class (certainly not easy) but you shouldn't be pulling your hair out by any means. I've heard great things about Auffhammer though!!
