Spring Semester 2015 Bucket List

For most of us, returning from winter break— four glorious weeks filled to the brim with Netflix marathons and fuzzy socks— is an optimistic start to a new semester. We’re reunited with our Bay Area soul mates, we vow to do better this semester compared to the last, and C.R.E.A.M. is once again within walking distance. Sadly, for a fraction of our Cal community, spring semester means the bitter end to college; graduation is just 16 short weeks away. For our seniors entering their final semester, here’s a list of must-do, must-see, and must-have things around Berkeley before throwing on the cap and gown.

1. Hike the Big C
