It’s easy to wish for the year to come to a speedy conclusion and for the next few weeks of finals to be a blur when you know you have another year of UC Berkeley to fall back on next September. Another year full of game days, procrastination via Netflix and eating mac and cheese for lunch and dinner. So, if we at the Clog had to guess how you senior Bears are feeling right about now it would be somewhere around the opposite of senioritis. With your last precious moments nigh, we want to transport you back to the golden age of the cringiest of times: freshman year. Relive these 10 classic moments to remind yourself of how far you’ve come and it may just leave you feeling a bit less nostalgic.
