Did you know the Latte was invented just down Telegraph Avenue, at Berkeley’s Caffe Mediterraneum? Or that the city of Berkeley was the first to codify benefits for domestic partners, in 1981? Or that Berkeley was also the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement, hot tubs, and dog parks? As a graduate student, sometimes life feels like an endless cycle of work, research, and (hopefully) sleep.
