I guess this is sort of a triumph thread/seeking advice too.
I've always been an emet (and I'm premed too, heh, imagine that) but before college, I was worried about students v*ing. I mean, it's prevalent among freshmen, who tend to drink too much, too often at parties and the like...
I did my research and talked to upperclassmen. I found a dorm hall with a rep for being studious and quiet (according to upper classmen) and marked that as my first choice of dorm, and the all-freshman dorm as my last choice.
Boy, am I GLAD I did that. I do not have to be around ANY drunk people or drunk parties. I hear stories of v* everywhere in the freshman hall (even on WALLS!!) on the weekends...I am NOWHERE near that. So glad.
If you're a college-bound emet, I suggest doing your research to find a generally substance-free dorm, or a dorm where studious, quiet people tend to prefer to live in. I couldn't imagine living in a party dorm and being happy, being an emet.
However, I need to get used to things...
Many people outside of the dining hall on weekends v* because they are still hung over. Thus, I have to wait until 1 pm on the weekends to attend the brunch, as no one is there and I won't have to see anyone v*.
Ugh, I hate drunk students. I don't drink myself because of the meds I'm on (not of a fear of v*)
Any advice for a college emet? ^^
