I hope you get in! To everyone else (hint hint Berkeley admissions officer), I can proudly, if selfishly semi-begrudgingly, vouch for Serena's dedication and passion for journalism. I have spent two supposed vacations with her during which not a single day went by without a solid two or more hours spent on whatever project she had thrown herself into at the time. Mind you, these were not ho-hum vacations with hours to burn, but rather a week in New York with three of her best mates and one single, measly weekend with her best buds in sunny San Diego... not even the beach or waves could pull her away from the stories at hand. OK, maybe I am exaggerating some, as I am pretty positive she took some time out for the ocean, but truly, I have not met anyone so passionate for uncovering and disseminating the truth for benefit of the society at large. And what could be more important this day and age? So inspiring Serena! I hope you get in!

To everyone else (hint hint Berkeley admissions officer), I can proudly, and maybe semi-begrudgingly, vouch for Serena's dedication and passion for journalism. I have spent two supposed vacations with her during which not a single day went by without a solid two hours turned into three or four spent on whatever project she had thrown herself into at the time. Mind you, these were not ho-hum vacations with hours to burn, but rather a week in New York with three of her best mates and one single, measly weekend with her best buds in sunny San Diego... not even the beach or waves could pull her away from the stories at hand. Ok, maybe I am exaggerating some, as I am pretty positive she took some time out for the ocean, but truly, I have never met anyone so passionate about uncovering and disseminating the truth.
