Instead of getting entirely swallowed into the environment, Berkeley taught me to confront it and generate a new "self" out of it. Breaking away from the one-dimensional mold, I finally learned how to be everything and anything all at once. 

I first started keeping a diary at the age of 9. Going through old entries, I realized that while I can never fully remember everything I ever experience, my diary will.

Everything seemed to suggest that Caleb Rickard was a flawless athlete. But the details I collected about the gymnast transformed my perception of him.

A few months later, I found myself on a bench by the river in Copenhagen, Denmark, with a latte and cranberry danish pastry in my hands.

One afternoon at my home in Japan, a comment from the TV instantly woke me up from my nap: "Should we really hold the Olympics?"

Alcohol doesn't solve problems, I know. But maybe, the friends who drink with you, listen to you and give you hugs at the end of the night do. 

Rickard made history with his school record on vault, which earned him a tie for fifth in the finals, as well as All-American honors.

The Bears are ready for NCAA Championships, where they will look to amend mistakes that arose during their fourth-place performance at MPSF Championships.

In spite of a somewhat disappointing showing at the MPSF Championships, the NCAA Men's Gymnastics Committee punched Cal's ticket for the NCAA Championships.

Despite earning a final team score of 390.600, Cal fell to Oklahoma, which garnered a team score of 404.700.
