Van down by the river

You'll be living in a van down by the river! This might have been me, had I gone to UC Santa Cruz. My first choice for college was UC Santa Cruz, but my parents forbade me from applying there. I already had hippie leanings and they didn't want to encourage that. I realized later that I probably would not have fit in there. I am not an uber-hippie and I just never felt connected to the hippies I met in college. I still have never been to Santa Cruz and have no plans to go there. I like forests like this, but I like living where I am at more. (San Diego) I closed the door on this over 20 years ago, and it is no longer a cute idea to live in a van. LOL
