Alcohol in the Dorm

A Couple weeks ago I was too tired to go out, but I still wanted to drink with my buddies. We decided just to have some drinks in the privacy of our own dorm room. Now we knew this “wasn’t allowed” but many people in the dorms have alcohol. We started drinking, and about 30 minutes into the night we heard a knocking at the door. My buddy saw it was two women, so he opened the door for them asking if we could help them. We found out they were the RA’s on call. They said they could come in our room because we already opened our door for them. Then they saw two shot glasses on our fridge, they inspected them, confiscated them, and insisted that we open our fridge. Let’s just say they hit the jackpot that night. They had us take all of our alcohol to the sink and dump it down the drain. After that they wrote us a slip of paper saying that we broke the residence hall’s alcohol policy and we would have to have a meeting with their boss. We were being very cooperative and they thanked us for doing so and said being cooperative could only help us. We were very mad. A few days later we met with their boss and he issued us many sanctions that included fines and classes we had to take as well as papers we had to write. It was a pain to have to take the online classes, but I got through it okay. I found out later that our being cooperative was a good decision because these two RA's that busted us normally call the Normal police and have them issue tickets. That would have been a big problem that would be on my record. I am telling you this story to help you not get caught, and let you know that getting caught in the dorms with alcohol sucks, but it isn’t the end of the world.
