Finals are kind of like being pregnant: they’re painful, you console yourself with the fact they’ll be over soon and you can eat whatever you want without remorse (hey, YoPo is brain food). Oh yeah, and you’re f***ed.
So if you’re feeling especially snacky, or just generally into mooching, we’ve done the work for you. Hey, the least the university can do for stealing your identity is throw you a few donut holes.
What: Free Donut Holes & Coffee/Hot Chocolate.
Where: Outside Moffit May 17th 8:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.
The Catch: You may have to make awkward small talk and/or feign interest in the goals of the Student Advocate’s Office. read more »
In the wake of some high times yesterday, Ben & Jerry’s will celebrate its free cone day today. Yeah, sure the portion’s a bit skimpy, but who’s going to say no to some ice cream on a day like this?
Oh, and P.S. The Berkeley store opens in less than 30 minutes, so get a move on already!
Where: 2128 Oxford Street
When: Today, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. (but the Berkeley store is open from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.?)

If the words “going green”–or more importantly, “free stuff”–mean anything to you, then we suggest you head out to the PLAYgreen Festival tomorrow in Pauley Ballroom, going on from 10 a.m. ’til 4 p.m. Basically, it’s going to be a bunch of companies trying to out-green each other—which we assume means we won’t be bombarded with fliers or ugly keychains (unless they’re on recycled paper and made of recycled tires, respectively). read more »
On Friday you can get your caffeine fix for free. Something about an anniversary or something. Oh yes, Caffe Strada will celebrate its 20th anniversary with prizes all this week, culminating in a coffee bonanza on (oh how appropriate) Feb. 20.
Strada expects at least 5,000 cheap bastards/well-wishers, so be prepared to wait in line. Also, we’re not sure if “coffee drinks” means A) just coffee B) coffee variations or C) coffee and espresso variations. Either way, a free cup of joe is still free. We’d love to reap the benefits of being a “loyal” customer.

Free coffee at Berkeley cafe coming your way [East Bay Outtakes]

Apparently this presidential election is, like, really important or something. Now even Starbucks will offer freebies to voters on Nov. 4.
Come in to your local Starbucks–there’s one at 2224 Shattuck Avenue and another at Oxford and Center streets–and tell ‘em you voted, and they’ll give you a free coffee. And then don’t forget to pick up your ice cream while you’re on the way to class. Or just go around to all the chains in the area asking for voter freebies.

Mark your calendars (if you’re of the drinking age, that is): On Nov. 14, John’s Grill in Union Square will celebrate its 100th anniversary with eight-cent drinks.
Yes, cents. If you’ve got some spare change to rub together, head over between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Best way to end a week of class ever, even with the two cheapo drink limit.

John’s Grill to Celebrate 100 Years With 8-Cent Cocktails [Eater SF]
No matter what happens on Nov. 4, at least you can drown your sorrow or celebrate your victory with free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Sweet.
Starting lining up early in front of the student store. The B&J’s crew will serve one scoop per customer from 2-5 p.m. Oh, there is still beauty in the world!

FREE Ben & Jerry’s on Election Day at UC Berkeley! [Facebook]
There is nothing quite so exhilarating as a symbolic gathering to represent a student’s step over the threshold of happy university, and into the doom and gloom of the “real world.” On Tuesday, the Clog finally stepped over that threshold and celebrated our vast accomplishments (procrastination-induced all nighters, skipped classes, etc.) with fellow seniors at the annual Commencement Convocation, which was organized by the spirited leadership group, the Californians.

OK, so you know how we mentioned that photography exhibition–Berkeley without Shadow–in the Wurster Hall lobby on Friday evening? We actually ended up going, and it was totally, well, illuminating. Visual Studies 186 students took on unusual angles for looking at Downtown to poignantly portray oft-unnoticed aspects of the city–and we’re not just saying that to shamelessly plug the work of the Clog’s own captain, Patrici Flores, photographing Berkeley’s homeless. read more »
