Our Parents Made Us Take These (Scheduling for Telebears, Part V–Pre-Meds)

We saved our last planning update of the week for the group that’s always obsessing and complaining over their GPAs/schedules/academics, the Pre-Med people. We know you people are probably going nutty trying to decide how taking these shitty requirements will make them feel. We know how’d it make us feel. Suicidal. Last time we took […]

DeVon Hardin Doesn’t Want You Eating His Lucky Charms

In a move that’s been widely reported and expected, DeVon Hardin, the 6’11” Cal junior center, has declared himself eligible for the NBA draft. This decision comes despite the fact he only played 11 games the past year, although the lack of an agent allows us to contemplate his return. We think that the real […]

Not as Hardcore as EECS, but Hey, at Least We Have Lives (Scheduling for Telebears, Part IV–Engineering)

The EE people grow to hate the sight of computers and are ready to smash them by […]

Wake up. Seriously, WAKE UP. (Scheduling for Telebears, Part II–Physics)

I used to think I wanted to be a physics major, but that was before I realized several things about college. (1) If you want to have fun with women consistently, you need to stay up later coddling them. (2) Physics classes are always scheduled between 8 and 11 am. (Unless you’re in one of […]

Deciding on the Gun or Poision (Scheduling for Telebears, Part I–Math)

We’re not very happy with the incoming freshmen right now, because all the cool math classes we would have taken (Combinatorics, Mathematical Economics, History of Math) have been flat out cancelled to make way for extra lower-div math for apathetic engineers. Grad classes of course remain intact, so that leaves most juniors and seniors like […]
