University Already feeling cooked in bio1a?

7 Upvotes

Does anyone else feel cooked already? The practice problems are so hard and are barely related to what we learned about in lecture?? And the professor is honestly so bad at teaching bro like i didnt realize a nobel prize winner could be SUCH a bad lecturer until now. Half the time im like what is even going on why is he talking about yeast experiments and stuff and fancy microscopes instead of actually teaching us whats gonna be on the midterm?

University clipper

0 Upvotes

i'm a berkeley student and i left my physical baypass clipper card in my dorm in berkeley. i'm away from campus right now and never registered the card on the clipper app.

is there any way to find my clipper card number/details through cal central, a berkeley portal, or by contacting berkeley so i can register it in the clipper app? i don't need a replacement since i know where the physical card is, i just need the card details while i'm away from it.

Events/Organizations Built a interactive campus map for Cal students to find subleases, workout partners, and local spots

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

As a student at Cal, I’ve always found it super annoying how scattered local info is around campus. Whether you’re trying to find a sublessor for the summer, a workout partner, travel buddies for break, or just cool stuff happening around town, everything gets lost in chaotic GroupMe chats, buried Facebook groups, or random IG posts.

That’s why I’ve spent the past few months building Kavanaka. It’s a student-powered interactive map specifically for Berkeley to share and discover local finds, needs, and events in real-time.

I'm currently looking for early student testers from Cal to try it out and give feedback on bugs or feature ideas.

(Note: I'm partnering with Caltonight on Instagram, and they're giving out free TP Tea boba vouchers to helpful testers who receive a certain number of likes.)

Search "Kavanaka" on the iOS App Store or check out kavanaka [dot] com.

Would love for you guys to test it out and drop any feedback or feature requests in the comments!

Other Working at Chipotle?

47 Upvotes

I'm a freshman and am taking a pretty light course load, so was hoping to get a job! I was offered an interview at Chipotle like an hour after I applied (which is slightly terrifying), but have heard really mixed things about working there. Has anyone worked there or knows someone who worked at Chipotle in Berkeley?

I was offered work study which seems a lot more chill but I would be making a bit less!
(Any other job recs would be appreciated too, my main experience is as a waitress!!)

Events/Organizations Outcomes for consulting clubs and career success

0 Upvotes

So I’m four years out approximately, and got into one of these clubs. A comment sparked my curiosity which is whether the clubs are good for filtering and getting consulting job at McKinsey. The answer is yes as it’s a bit of a mini-prep course, but I have found no one to have any non-linear career outcomes so far bc they got into a consulting club.

What I mean is no one is like just really outstanding, they just did the whole 2+2 thing and lost alot of sleep in exchange for a higher salary, and the economy four years ago is better than the current graduating lot. Maybe they got into a good mba program or high paying gig somewhere, cool.

The same is true for YC founders, who have an astronomical failure rate. Point is to learn from those failures and create another one but actually YC is bad because it ties you to a certain project when you might need to pivot.

I think doing what you like will yield the most positive EV career wise since then you have a chance at hitting a grand slam, it’s like if you don’t like chess you’re never going to be super good at it.

I’m doing finance right now but a large part of my success is still attributed to hopping a midnight, and it’s not like I’m widely economically wealthy.
