So, I hear there's going to be a party at one of the dorms here on campus.
It's the first week I've been here at college, and classes start on Tuesday.
This is the first big college party of the year. I decide to observe without
getting involved, i.e. drinking. The magic is officially gone for me; a bunch
of college kids standing around getting drunk seemed somehow more enchanting
before tonight. Anyway, I left the residence hall and came back to my room to
think, "Gosh, how nice it is away from all the drunks." My mistake.
There's a knock at the door, and I answer it to find my roommate leaning
on a poor upperclassman named Erin. I have to find her tomorrow to thank her
for getting the roommate back safely. Anyway, she asks me to detach the
roommate from her, and I do so, making sure he isn't in any immediate danger.
I tell him, "Mark, you should drink some water before you get to sleep. You
need to rehydrate, and flush some of the toxins from your system." He goes to
bed, waving away my advice.
Half an hour later, I wake up to hear him retching, and I resist the urge
to say I told you so. I go get him a cup of water so he can start on the
journey to wellness once more, and he drinks a bit of it before dumping the
rest out into a sink in the bathroom before taking a shower. I will never see
that cup again. I don't want to see that cup again. It is the only item I own
that has ever been caked in someone else's vomit, and I thus feel it should be
discarded. Anyway, one of his friends comes into the room, looking for him.
The friend needs a partner for ping-pong. I explain that there is a lot of
vomit on his bed, and he helps me get the sheets off the bed before the stuff
sinks into the mattress. This is the point at which I have to involve the
resident assistant.
Our RA on this floor believes in the moral righteousness of the 21
drinking age. I'm not sure whether this is a good thing since he seems more
worried about the legality of heavy underage drinking than the healtiness of
it. Anyway, the RA helps me get cleaning supplies, through a myriad
bureaucracy, and interrogates Mark about where he was drinking, when he was
drinking, with whom he was drinking, and where he got the drink. He gave
appropriately obfuscatory replies, since he was drinking with friends and I'm
fairly sure one of those friends is old enough to buy liquor and is therefore
very culpable in this matter. I cleared my own name in the matter,
fortunately, and I came to fully appreciate the wisdom of deciding not to drink
tonight. Mark talked to the RA, and then to the area manager, and then to
another RA who I think is the head for our building. I got to clean up the
puke that dripped onto the floor, unfortunately. The room still smells like
disinfectant, which is better than it smelled before.
I know I'm just a college freshman, with a scant 18 years of experience in
this crazy, mixed-up world... but I implore you: drink in moderation. I hate
thinking that Mark might be even worse off if Erin hadn't brought him back from
wherever he was busy getting wasted. When you do drink, get lots of water
after you're done having fun. Your body will be grateful. And don't puke in
your bed. I think that last bit's self-explanatory.

Man, am I glad I'm out of college.

Worst I ever saw personally was a guy who, against the advice of
everybody, persisted in mixing alcohol and Xanax. Once he lost bowel
control.

Ahyes Krang...

http://www.ninjaturtles.com/html/profil11.htm

one of the more underrated villians in the ninja turtle universe but a
worthy foe nonetheless. a denizen of dimension x he was unfairly
overshadowed by shredder in the villany stakes. mainly due to his
rather diminutive stature.

mock not the undersized pink ones from dimension x!

Well, Matt, at least you started making normal friends once that incident
caused you to throw out your "Alf" bedspread.

These days, instead of throwing
out barfed-on stuff, you can just
sell it on eBay, at least until eBay
