Credit: Crinkle Cut Fries at Shake Shack

They’re back!!! For those of you who haven’t been to Shake Shack in the past year, or those that just don’t discriminate between different types of potatoes and never noticed: last August, Shake Shack introduced new hand-cut fries to replace the crinkle cuts it had served since its opening. The hand-cut fries might have been “fresher” and “not frozen” and “thinner,” but ultimately, I was still partial to those “frozen” and “yellower” and “crinklier” crinkle cuts that I knew and loved. I figured all hope was lost and I was ready to settle for the hand-cut fries…until Shake Shack announced, due to some serious Twitter backlash, that the crinkle cut fries were returning! I went to Shake Shack to celebrate The Return (p.s. free fries for college students after 6pm on Thursday!). Let me tell you, the crinkle cut fries are dope as ever.

D: On-Campus Recruiting Events

Everyone’s gotta plan for the future. Let’s face it: we’re not all going to the NBA. We all gotta have backup plans. Fortunately for those of us who play basketball at a C-Hoops level, there’s an abundance of on-campus recruiting events for consulting and investment banking internships. Unfortunately, for those of us who play basketball at a C-Hoops level and aren’t looking for this sort of internship, all the dapper kids dressed up in fancy suits and pant suits make us look like straight slobs in our Berkeley Intramurals t-shirts.

Fail: No Salvo for Halloween Costumes

Local thrift store Salvation Army (aka “Salvo,” as the “cool” kids used to say) closed this summer. While people have surely noticed when planning for tailgates, never has the Salvo void been felt more intensely than during Halloweek. Salvo was THE place to get all your favorite Halloween costume items at the last minute. And now it’s gone, forever. Where should we turn to now? Dress up as a rich kid by shopping at J. Press? Dress up as a hip kid by shopping at Urban Outfitters? Dress up as a quiche du jour by shopping at Maison Mathis? These aren’t rhetorical questions… someone let me know please before Spook’d. Thanks!
