<p>So I was gone the entire time from the time it opened to the deadline part 1 had to be completed by. Am I totally screwed? Is it bad if I finish part 1 late?</p>
<p>You can skip it entirely and there’s zero consequences if you don’t get in any alcohol-related trouble. (Although if you do get into alcohol related trouble, your problems will be exacerbated).</p>
<p>That’s a relief. I’m not a drinker and I don’t plan on becoming one at school, but I’ll complete it anyway…</p>
<p>yeah Aedu is ‘mandatory’ just as reading the summer book is ‘mandatory’ (i was the only person i know who actually read it; decent book, i’m not too big of a fan of Eggers. tbh, i’d rather read the one they have on Henrietta Lacks this summer)</p>
<p>I am by no means the party type or a drinker but I haven’t done it at all and I am interested in knowing what kind of trouble I’ll be in for if I do get in trouble and didn’t finish it vs. if I did.</p>
<p>I’m waiting to see how many to see how many of you guys change your mind about drinking once you’re here haha.</p>
<p>I had no idea they punished you more severely if you didn’t take the class? getting caught with alcohol in the dorms usually means a slap on the wrist and sometimes watching a boring video.</p>
<p>gatos, I’m not going to change my mind about drinking when I get to UCLA. I have done it before with friends and in social environments, it’s not as if I am an alcohol virgin. I just don’t plan on being crazy at UCLA.</p>
<p>you will drink at some point. trust me</p>
<p>^Trust him.</p>
<p>^Trust him.</p>
<p>In kenshinx08 we trust</p>
<p>there’s nothing wrong with a bit of drinking as long as you can keep it under control (e.g. alcoholism doesn’t run in your family) I was drinking as young as 15, but i did it extremely sparingly (like once a year.) Since i’ve been at UCLA i’ve drank on maybe 3 occasions in the whole year, and was only drunk like once (at a birthday party i threw for myself which was after the academic year had already ended. </p>
<p>just use your best judgment and you should be fine.</p>
<p>I wasn’t implying in my post that I wouldn’t drink. In fact I trust kenshin that I will drink because I know I will. I just don’t plan on doing “anything crazy” which has a big chance of getting caught is what I meant to convey.</p>
<p>I drink infrequently. I get drunk even less frequently. BUT, trust me when I say that there is absolutely nothing more fun than consuming 6-7 shots with some friends right before undie run and just shamelessly ripping it wild to cap off a quarter.</p>
<p>I’m really looking forward to my first undie run myself. I hope it’s as wild as it looks.</p>
<p>I got caught with alcohol and I never did alcohol edu. There was no additional consequence.</p>
<p>I got an email today saying they extended the deadline, so if you want to do it you still can.</p>
<p>Hint for incoming freshmen: If they say something is mandatory, it probably isn’t unless they mention specific consequences of not doing it.
See: Alcohol.edu, volunteer day, common book, etc.</p>
