Well, hey there! Let me tell ya ’bout somethin’ called “Berkeley Astrology,” or whatever them city folks call it. Don’t know much ’bout stars and planets myself, but seems like these young’uns over at that Berkeley place, they think it can tell ’em ’bout gettin’ into college.
What’s this Berkeley Astrology all about, huh?
Now, from what I gather, it ain’t got nothin’ to do with real astrology, like you see in them newspapers. These kids, they’re lookin’ for clues, little hints, in their online college application thingy. They call it a “portal,” sounds fancy, huh? They’re lookin’ for anythin’ that might tell ’em if they got in before the official letter comes.
- They look at the website, see if somethin’ changed.
- They check if buttons look different, or if somethin’s moved around.
- They even look at the little pictures, see if they got a new one.
Sounds crazy, right? But these kids, they’re desperate to know. College is a big deal, I guess. They say it’s like readin’ tea leaves or somethin’. Lookin’ for somethin’ that ain’t really there, but hopin’ it means somethin’ good.
Why do they do it? Well, I reckon it’s ’cause they’re anxious.
Waitin’ is hard, real hard. And these kids, they put a lot of stock in gettin’ into this Berkeley place. So, they try to find any little sign, any little whisper, that tells ’em they made it. It’s like lookin’ for a four-leaf clover, hopin’ for a little luck.
Is it accurate? Heck, I don’t know.
Some folks swear by it, say they knew they got in weeks before the letter came. Others say it’s just a bunch of hooey. Me? I think it’s just kids bein’ kids, lookin’ for somethin’ to hold onto. Like when you wish on a dandelion, you know it ain’t gonna make your dreams come true, but it makes ya feel a little better.
This Berkeley Portal Astrology, it’s a whole community thing too.
These kids, they got their own little online places, like that “Reddit” thing my grandson told me about. They talk to each other, share what they’ve seen, try to figure it all out together. It’s kinda sweet, in a way. They’re all in the same boat, all nervous and hopeful. And they’re helpin’ each other through it.
Now, some folks say this is just for the freshmen, the new kids.
But then you got others askin’ if it works for them transfer students too. Seems like everybody wants a little peek into the future. Can’t blame ’em, I guess. Nobody likes waitin’, especially when it’s somethin’ this important.
From what I hear, this ain’t nothin’ new neither.
Kids been doin’ this for years, ever since they started puttin’ these college applications online. It’s just somethin’ that happens every year, like the leaves fallin’ off the trees. And every year, folks get all worked up about it, just like these kids are now.
So, is Berkeley Astrology real?
Like I said, I don’t know nothin’ ’bout stars. But I do know ’bout people. And I know that when people want somethin’ bad enough, they’ll look for signs anywhere they can find ‘em. Maybe there’s somethin’ to it, maybe there ain’t. But one thing’s for sure, it gives these kids somethin’ to do while they wait. And maybe, just maybe, it gives ’em a little bit of hope. And hope, well, that’s somethin’ we all need a little bit of, ain’t it?
In the end, it’s all just a waitin’ game.
These kids, they’re just tryin’ to make sense of it all, tryin’ to find a little bit of control in a situation where they don’t have much. And if lookin’ at a website and tryin’ to read the tea leaves helps ’em get through it, well, I say let ’em. It ain’t hurtin’ nobody, and it might just help ’em keep their sanity ’til that letter finally arrives.
And that, as far as I can tell, is what this Berkeley Astrology is all about.
Just a bunch of young’uns lookin’ for answers in the stars, or the internet, or wherever they can find ’em. And who am I to say they’re wrong? We all look for signs, in our own way. It’s just part of bein’ human, I reckon.
So good luck to all them young’uns waitin’ on that Berkeley letter. Hope they get what they’re hopin’ for. And if they don’t, well, life goes on. There’s plenty of other fish in the sea, as they say. Or maybe they should just go plant some corn, that’s honest work.
