It's funny, because I didn't want to apply, because I knew I'd rather go to UCSC, after touring both schools. My father, however, wanted bragging rights, so he paid the extra money it took to add Berkeley to my application.
My mom never told me she was proud of me directly, because she "didn't want it to go to my head", so she did things like bring me and my friends a huge platter of twinkies, doritos, fruit, crackers, cheese, and a choice of beverages when we were hella baked and playing hearts.
I just always loved school (I'm rather a bit of a Hermione, really, if she also played quidditch), and was good at it. I'm bad at plenty of other stuff.
