Berkeley goggles


similar to the beer goggles effect, a person which one would not find typically attractive is seen as attractive. this effect is a cause of the uc berkeley bubble, where a lesser amount of typically attractive people exist. another factor included is the envelopment of academia connected to a decline in one’s social life.
me: at first i didn’t think (insert name here) was so cute, but there is something different about them this semester.

friend: looks like you’re sporting the berkeley goggles now. you’ve been in the berkeley bubble too long. at least your option has a good personality.
