"Think outside the book" and consider ways to enrich your time at Cal through:

Remember, even at Cal, it is the student that makes the degree and not the University that makes the student. Your degree will mean so much more than "Cal" grad if you study what you love, pursue that at which you can excel, test your boundaries, and engage in what you are doing. So, make the most of your time here and add your own flavor to your "bona fide smart" (BS) person degree.
