<p>I'm starting to freak out about this. I go to a strict boarding and day all-girls school where I boarded the first two years (day student this year and next). Unfortunately my sophomore year I became very forgetful and sometimes would leave my door unlocked, not being in bed by lights out, leaving my bed messy in the morning, etc. These things would lead to "points" and accumulated very easily over the few weeks, leading to detentions. I had a lot of detentions my sophomore year and a few ISS's. These all resulted from minor things that lead to an accumulation of points.</p>
<p>The one major thing that happened was that I received an alcohol violation and was suspended out of school for a day. However, the circumstances were a bit ridiculous: I literally had two sips of alcohol at a friend's house off campus, not even intending to become inebriated, and then was caught.</p>
<p>These all happened sophomore year. I became a day student junior year for various reasons and have not received one detention, ISS or suspension all year.</p>
<p>Now I see on most college apps that you are asked if you've ever received a detention, ISS, or suspension you are required to tell the college about it. It's also required to have a statement from a school official explaining what happened. I'm so worried that they're going to think I'm a "wild child" by looking at my application. I don't know what to do because the punishments I received were for such little things; not even anything major like cheating, drinking on campus, or anything! </p>
<p>Do universities take these very seriously?</p>
