The Daily Clog

I want to be able to return years from now, and reminisce on my years in Berkeley. I want to walk through Moe’s, Rasputin’s and every other store I’ve stepped foot in, and remember the awe I felt in my twenties being in that exact spot.

As the semester kicks into high gear, you may be getting more and more headaches at the most inconvenient times. Luckily for you, I’ve compiled a list of practical ways to help get rid of headaches and prevent them from happening.

Electronic waste is often overlooked, but it is important to remember that there are ways to recycle this in a semi-sustainable way to protect the environment from harm.

I know, it can be hard to paint yourself as the antagonist at times, but we all have more room to grow. The Clog has some questions you can ask yourself when you're feeling a little indecisive about your role in all of this.

My day doesn’t end when classes do. There’s always food that needs to be cooked, assignments that need to be completed and emails that need to be responded to. It seems like 24 hours in a day is never going to be enough. So, while I’m at it, here’s a power ranking of the things I do after class. 

As each year goes by, we start to move further and further away from the first Earth Day of human history. As this time passes, we also become more knowledgeable about the future of the planet and ways we can properly manage natural resources to revert the effects of climate change.

In a lecture the other day, my professor posed a question: how many people know that throwing away organic waste is soon to become illegal in California? No one, myself included, raised their hand. What was this law and why didn’t anyone, assumedly all people who have thrown something away in the state, know anything about its existence?

Without a doubt, routines are our comfort, but they aren’t always the best for growth. While having self-discipline is useful, we should ask ourselves: do we exist for the purpose of offering our skills to the world, or do we exist to experience what the world offers to us?

I’ve lost a lot of things this past year (money, dignity, sanity, etc etc). Every day was a special battle, and through the rare wins, many losses and quicksand trips down to rock bottom, I’ve cultivated all sorts ways to deal.

I feel like one thing people don’t say enough is that everything will be OK. After years of pressure, anxiety and extensive overthinking – I found myself in a state of constantly believing something terrible would happen
