  • A UC Berkeley computer science major brings you through a day of college life. Thank you Blinkist for sponsoring this video! The first 100 people to go to www.blinkist.com/chrisjereza are going to get unlimited access for 1 week to try it
    out. You’ll also get 25% off if you want the full membership.
    If you're new here - Hi! my name is Chris Jereza. I like making fun vlogs about Silicon Valley, software engineering careers, self-development, and lifestyle design. I'm a current student at Cal (as of the posting of this video) and I've recently done SWE internships at companies like Google, Facebook, Lyft, Bloomberg, and Amazon. Make sure to subscribe for more videos!
    Check out Edward Sa's channel here: / ingeniousedits
    And Meredith Mao's channel here: / @meredithmao
    In this vlog, I talk about why Computer Science students often don't go to class (definitely not because I'm lazy right?), show you around Cal's campus, explain my homework assignment for my Combinatorics/Probability class, debate Shake Shack vs. In N Out, and use way too much copyrighted music. This video was inspired by John Fish and Elliot Choy.
    My schedule for the day (in case you were wondering):
    12pm - History 124A in Dwinelle Hall
    2pm - Gender & Women's Studies 102 in Birge Hall
    5pm - CS 174 in Soda Hall
    IF YOU'RE READING THIS comment, "You didn't really answer the 'Shake Shack or In N Out' question"

      Sumeeth Moolya you can make it as challenging as you want. Some students at cal just breeze through and not have to study hard, others do poorly and don’t really care about GPA, others work their asses off all night and get only a few hours of sleep. I have a feeling that is how it is at every university. School is hard af no matter where you are :)
