I am from a pretty small town.  I was valedictorian, and I was kind of expecting to get into Berkeley.  When I found out, I was excited, and couldn't wait to move into the dorms.  By the way, the dorms are ridiculously expensive.  I was expecting Berkeley to be this place where everyone was brilliant and hip, and I would learn and meet great friends.  Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.  As a science major, I'm stuck in huge lecture halls, where nobody knows my name.  The students are all too absorbed in their work to be social.  90% of Cal students are socially awkward, and the 10% that aren't are mostly athletes and people involved in Greek Life.  I am proud to be a Cal student, and I am receiving a great education, which was my number one priority.  However, I am not having the best time doing so.  Every day is frustrating, and every day I have to feel like I am a dime a dozen science major at an enormous University.
