Tips and Tricks for Game-Days

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Berkeley chapter.

We are two home games into the football season. Game days might just be one of the best parts of your student life at Cal, so we came up with a few ways for you to tackle them like a pro.

 

Hit Up Your Favorite Carbs

Yes, we said it, that part of the human diet that is often criminalized and underappreciated, carbs. Although historically, television dictates otherwise carbs can be just the right thing to keep your game going strong during football season. 

If you decide to drink, make sure to swing by Noah’s or TopDog to get your carbohydrate fill. Carbs can help soak up the alcohol and ensure a game-day you’ll actually remember.

Sport That Berkeley Blue and California Gold

Whether it’s dawning your favorite game day brand apparel, like those chic cheerleader skirts from Hype and Vice, or going all out with your t-shirt and temporary tattoos from T-Shirt Orgy, make sure to show your school spirit! Awesome game-day apparel will not only add to gameday fun, but it also makes for great insta posts at the end of the day.

 

 

 

 

Don’t Forget To Hydrate

Yes, ladies, we are talking lots and lots of water. Staying hydrated is important during game-days, particularly during the daytime. You can get over-heated or dehydrated without even knowing it!!

 

 

Double Check That You Have Your Tickets

People, especially Freshman, do not forget that you actually have to register online to get into football games. No one wants to be that person that waits in the long stadium line and makes through security only to discover that they don’t actually have a ticket.

 

Often wrong.

UC Berkeley '19

As a senior undergraduate, I seek out all opportunities that expand my horizons, with the aim of developing professionally and deepening my vision of how I can positively impact the world around me. While most of my career aims revolve around healthcare and medicine, I enjoy producing content that is informative, engaging, and motivating.  In the past few years, I have immersed myself in the health field through working at a private surgical clinic, refining my skills as a research assistant in both wet-lab and clinical settings, shadowing surgeons in a hospital abroad, serving different communities with health-oriented nonprofits, and currently, exploring the pharmaceutical industry through an internship in clinical operations.  Career goals aside, I place my whole mind and soul in everything that I pursue whether that be interacting with patients in hospice, consistently improving in fitness PR’s, tutoring children in piano, or engaging my creativity through the arts. Given all the individuals that I have yet to learn from and all the opportunities that I have yet to encounter in this journey, I recognize that I have much room and capacity for growth. Her Campus is a platform that challenges me to consistently engage with my community and to simultaneously cultivate self-expression.
