I am once again submerged in the hustle and bustle of university life. The feeling is not any different. There are still students goofing off, throwing balls and complaining about their previous class. I guess I don’t know what I was expecting. Berkeley was/ is such a special part of my life and so I feel like this place should be lacking in some hugely profound, slap me in the face kind of way. So far the lacking is fairly unnoticeable. Sure their gym sucks and their food is not organic or nationally ranked but I haven’t had a class with more than 50 students and the campus is quite beautiful.
The feeling here is completely uncompetitive. When you first meet people they ask about your nationality instead of your major. This removes any pressure or judgment between students. I am really quite keen on this philosophy. It emphasizes the celebration of everyone’s individuality instead of everyone competing for GPAs and “hard” majors.
Ok well I just had friends join me for lunch so I have to run but I will discuss classes etc more later! Love to you all… ;)
