Narrative:
While descending towards san luis obispo; I noticed a drone pass over my left wing within 100 feet. I was descending through 2500 feet at the time; near cal poly university; roughly 4nm north of the san luis airport. I only spotted the drone for a second before it disappeared past my wing and thus did not have enough time to maneuver away from it.
