<p>Okay, so, it’s past 2am. I’m exhausted, hungry, and have had a couple drinks, but I’ll answer the questions I can (bonus: impeccable spelling).</p>

<li><p>People will be fine if you don’t smoke. And if they’re not (fairly unlikely), then **** those people. You don’t want to hang out with them anyway if they’re gonna be like that. I do partake, but I know a decent amount of people who don’t.</p></li>
<li><p>Keep in mind, this list is for the previous academic year (2009-2010): [Registered</a> Organizations 09-10](<a href=“http://soar.ucsc.edu/v2/studentorgs/org-list-09-10.html]Registered”>http://soar.ucsc.edu/v2/studentorgs/org-list-09-10.html)</p></li>
<li><p>San Francisco is ~75 miles (~1.5 hrs driving) northeast of Santa Cruz. The closest city would be San Jose (right over the hill; 30-75 minutes max, depending on time of day/traffic on the 17). Santa Cruz is kind of in a bubble (not necessarily in a bad way), since we’re surrounded by the Pacific on one side, and mountains on the other. There are house parties/kickbacks, the bars downtown, and also the fact that I’m going to bed now, so I guess it’s got that going for it too. The end. Hope that at least marginally helped! :)</p></li>
