<p>Hi, I am an incoming freshman and I was planning to somehow get acquainted with the ASUC because I plan to build a career in politics. First, how does one get acquainted with the ASUC? Any clubs or things I could join to get votes? What year do people usually start to run for office? Is ASUC a GPA killer (does it take up a lot of time?), and if it is, is it worth the benefits that it offers? Sorry I have so many questions, and thank you so much.</p>
