Wrapping up the first month of the semester, UC Berkeley students wasted no time uploading their day-to-day lives on TikTok. Whether it\u2019s food reviews on Telegraph Avenue or tips on how to submit the best UC application, students everywhere on campus have participated in this trend of showcasing life at Berkeley and all its niches. A new culture of students vlogging their coffee chats has become normalized as a universal experience at UC Berkeley. Take your daily routine and follow this list of influencer archetypes to find out which UC Berkeley influencer you are!<\/p>\n
Cozy wellness student \u2014 @lunazescobar<\/p>\n
You\u2019re just a girl trying to find her way through campus, all while creating the best outfit for class. Of course, you turn to @lunazescobar for some outfit-of-the-day inspiration and some school advice. Walking to discussion with your wired earbuds in and taking in the chilly breeze, you make the most of your time in class. In your free time, you like to spend a cozy night with your floormates, who randomly spawn in your room every other night. Maybe you\u2019ve been taking the time in between classes to redecorate your room with arts and crafts that you store beneath your desk. If any of this reminds you of your classic Thursday night, you just might be @lunazescobar!<\/p>\n
Niche reference girl \u2014 @pjbae<\/p>\n
You\u2019re struggling in CalCentral to find your enrollment center, and your abysmal position on the waitlist of a required class is looking like your last straw. You\u2019re always looking for ways to level up your style for the new school year. Maybe you\u2019re seeking out advice for going-out clothing, so you scroll through TikTok to find the perfect top for a Friday night out. You like to be prepared for any task at hand, especially if you\u2019re walking around Berkeley, so you tune in to a video about the essentials for campus nightlife. If this applies to you, you\u2019re definitely an @pjbae girly! Maybe next time you\u2019re stuck on a waitlist, you\u2019ll take to TikTok like she does.<\/p>\n
Freshman pledge dancer \u2014 @sexykittenlover333<\/p>\n
You\u2019re scrolling relentlessly on your feed for dancing entertainment, looking for some mutuals you met during Golden Bear Orientation week or seeking out your pledge friends. You also make it your mission to meet up with friends every weekend and spend a night out on frat row. You have to hit a cringey dance to post on your account for your friends to repost, so you and your pledge friends rehearse at least five times to perfect the synchronization. Looking up @sexykittenlover333 for inspiration, you settle on the song \u201cSey Mami\u201d by Cinco Suave. Unaffected by the previous night\u2019s endeavors, you still manage to make it to your 9 a.m. chemistry lecture the next morning. Maybe you\u2019re telling some new friends you met the night before to download Doorlist, so you\u2019ll all be guaranteed admission at the door if you say you know a brother. If that sounds like you, then @sexykittenlover333 might be your new TikTok mutual!<\/p>\n
Consulting club applicant \u2014 @akmtote<\/p>\n
You\u2019re determined to apply for a consulting club, but fear rejection just like everyone else, so you take your questions to social media and stumble upon @akmote\u2019s video, \u201cEverything you need to know about UC Berkeley club rush.\u201d You\u2019re fast-forwarding every single video, reviewing your strategy for your callback interview as your business formal outfit sits freshly steamed on your bed. With your MacBook on its last legs \u2014 it overheated last night when you fell asleep on your desk with all of your tabs and Google Form applications open \u2014 you start to feel anxious about your interview performance. However, you make great friends along the way. No matter the outcome, you still endured the grueling rite of passage that nearly every Berkeley undergrad shares. If there\u2019s one bond that ties everyone together, it’s a club rejection; and if you think that way, you share ambitions just like @akmtote.<\/p>\n
Foodie reviewer \u2014 @christinayang_<\/p>\n
You\u2019re a foodie at heart if you\u2019ve been on the hunt for new local restaurants in Berkeley on TikTok. Perhaps, when you were once a freshman, you had a habit of looking at the Crossroads dining hall menu and staking out dessert before diving into your meal. Maybe you\u2019re planning to make the trip to review the new Gateway Caf\u00e9 on Tuesday after your discussion, even if it\u2019s a long commute back to your apartment. You like to save the savory trusted places such as Noodle Dynasty for Friday after your calculus quiz because you know that bowl should be treasured in the right and deserving hands. Searching for more? You should check out @christinayang_! She posts content giving food recommendations around the Berkeley and Oakland area.<\/p>\n
Who knows? Maybe you\u2019ll even run into one of these influencers on campus. Or if you feel like none of these archetypes really apply to you, maybe it\u2019s because you are the next influencer to be featured in The Daily Californian!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wrapping up the first month of the semester, UC Berkeley students wasted no time uploading their day-to-day lives…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":472186,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[185729,764,159497,185731,185726,35755,185728,131290,171600,14624,185723,185730,95049,143,145,144,185724,185727,185725,13774,3808,149],"class_list":["post-472185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-akmtote","tag-berkeley","tag-calcentral","tag-christinayang_","tag-cinco-suave","tag-crossroads","tag-doorlist","tag-gateway-caf","tag-golden-bear-orientation","tag-google","tag-lunazescobar","tag-macbook","tag-noodle-dynasty","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-pjbae","tag-sexykittenlover333","tag-sey-mami","tag-telegraph-avenue","tag-tiktok","tag-uc-berkeley"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=472185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472185\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=472185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=472185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
