hookah? if you were arab like NoMoreWait, that would be a normal everyday garage activity. Of course a large majority of my relatives do the stuff (uncles, cousins, ect.) but i stay away from it. No drinking,no smoking (of any kind) here......Put that hard work in at the gym for a reason!! Plus it's so easy to have fun without it!

<p>Oh come on, everything in moderation, right? Beside lifting, that must be done to an excessive degree. And studying. And checking CC.</p>
<p>Eh, I really don't like hookah. The way it makes my lungs feel afterwards isn't too great. I've done it once and that is it for me.</p>
<p>As for drinking, since I'm only twenty (21 in october), I'm not going to self-incriminate myself. Let's just say I believe there is a difference between social and habitual drinking ;)</p>

<blockquote> <p>Torrance: Let us know about the homeless situation in UCB. Everyone makes it seem like it's really bad.<<</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>I won't lie, there are a lot of homeless people (or people who actually have homes, but spend most of the day panhandling or sitting around on the sidewalks) in Berkeley, Oakland, and SF, and there are a lot of very strange people in Berkeley, but for the most part, only you can judge whether this is a bad thing for you. It totally depends on your own perspective. If you have lived in an urban area for most of your life the "homeless situation" in the city of Berkeley won't bother you much at all. If you have lived in a small city or rural town, it might bother you a lot, at least for the first year until you start to look past it. Then again, you might really dig the gritty, counterculture vibe of Berkeley after living in a clean, homogenous town or city.</p>
<p>I'm a habitual CCer and addicted UC-decision checker but my lungs are healthy!</p>
<p>No offense to anyone on here, but this seems to be a very PG crowd. Not saying that's necessarily a bad thing. I'm just stating an observation.</p>
<p>whats PG?</p>

<p>Mistah FAb Killed the Hyphy movement, it was fun while it lasted. I remember when I 1st ghost rided my whip back in 2004</p>
<p>hm... did anyone else notice this:</p>
<p>UC</a> Notes - February 2008</p>
<p>look at the UCLA transfer welcome day (STOMP). It's on the 25th... so that means that they have to of sent out all of the acceptances/rejections BY the 24th (or 25th, if they're cruel like that). Also since UCLA doesn't send it all out at once, or so I hear, that means it's gotta start earlier than the 24th... maybe even earlier than 22nd.</p>
<p>Any thoughts? Or have a just gone mad?</p>
<p>But I don't think it ever mentions that it is only for admitted transfer students.</p>
<p>i hope so.</p>
<p>STOMP is for prospective transfers, meaning people that plan to apply next year or whenever. It has nothing to do with Fall 2008 transfer students.</p>
<p>i know, i'm making leaps and bounds... i think it's hope. lol. or desperation.</p>
<p>I don't blame you I was getting super excited.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That's nice to know. I guess I won't have a problem going to UCB after all.</p>

<p>This spring break my friends and I went on a road trip to see San Fran and Berkeley, and I have to say... living in clean suburbia all my life, it was definitely a culture shock. It wasn't too bad until we had to take the public transportation and share a seat with a schizophrenic, some guy who thought he was a power ranger, and a girl with two thumbs on her left hand. It was interesting dichotomy seeing privileged Berkeley students walking right alongside all the homeless. (i kinda feel guilty typing this.. please don't generalize that everyone at berkeley is weird. I'm only recounting my personal experience.)</p>
