Life is, at its core, the process of you making yourself. So college, a four-year rung on this ladder, is only a small step forward.

I never expected to love UC Berkeley in the way I do. And there are many other things that defied my expectations coming here.

You see, I could be going to another city, like New York. I could be doing a graduate program, but I wouldn’t do that because I intend to stay and relive my glory days here at Berkeley. Forever.

I don’t find myself in my body, often, but I’m trying. I don’t always find myself in my community, but I’m making my own.

When I can’t order my ideas, when they’re bumbling around like the balls in a wire bingo tumbler, I pull on my shoes and go for a run.

Commitment to me has always meant offering up all of my energy and emotion and everything to fulfill expectations and make everyone as happy as possible. Nowhere was there space for my own happiness, my own interests, my own life.

As part of our ongoing coverage of the 2023 ASUC elections, the news department of The Daily Californian, in collaboration with the ASUC Elections Council and CalTV, will be hosting the 2023 ASUC Candidate Debate Nights. 

Music and culture magazine Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner spoke in discussion with music journalist and former campus faculty member Greil Marcus on Tuesday night as part of the Chris Boskin Deans’ Speaker Series.

It seems as though the Daily Californian sacrificed the Ink Bowl in order for Cal to win the 125th Big Game.
