<p>Don’t beat yourself up - We all make mistakes and sometimes they hurt more than others, but you will land on your feet - Find a good Community College and keep at it. I’ve seen many kids make mistakes and so has almost every college out there and you will have another chance.</p>

<p>Well I suppose I should have denied it. When I went to the police station I just told them straight up what happened and accepted responsibility. I wasn’t trying to get in further trouble by lying to the police. Maybe it wasn’t the best route.</p>
<p>Are you suggesting that I should of gone to the police station, asked for a lawyer, denied that they were my roommates pills that I had taken, and would have got of clean since the wallet was never in my possession? I never thought of this. Not sure if anyone cares but the police reports states:</p>
<p>“On 05/22/13 a wallet was returned to (campus police) HQ. Inside the wallet were 3 pills in a small plastic baggy. The pills were identified as generic adderall, a controlled substances requiring a prescription. The wallet belonged to (me) who arrived at (campus police HQ) at 1717 hours.(Me) stated he took the medication from his roommate who is prescribed the medication (verified with roommate). The medication was confiscated”</p>
<p>Note: I replaced the schools campus police name and my name for protection. The “(verified with roommate)” is actually in the report.</p>
<p>How did your parents take the news of your predicament?</p>

<p>I am telling them monday. I went to the city to meet up with my very close girl friend who lives near the school I used to go to (over four hours away). I figured I would enjoy my last bit of freedom and see this girl one last time before facing the undeniable consequences that will come my way.</p>
<p>Be prepared for their full fury but when the yelling stops they will go into crisis mode to help you get reinstated.
Don’t over promise with overachieving plans just to placate them.
Let them express their anger and disappointment.
This is probably the worse thing that has happened to you but it is not the end of the world.
Good luck.</p>

<p>I see what you mean. God forbid I ever find myself in a similar situation I will be smarter. And I made it 100% clear that I took it without my roommates knowledge once I realized I shouldn’t have brought him into it. I know I could have been charged with theft but the officer appreciated my honesty and wasn’t out to get me, she was only doing her job.</p>
<p>Hockey, I respect your honesty and integrity in owning your very costly mistake.Were you suspended with the chance of returning or expelled? Good luck telling your parents…I hope that after the initial disappointment and seeing your own disappointment in yourself, they will be there for you and support you…you are young and have a long life ahead of you- you have learned a lesson and it sounds as though, this is not a mistake you will repeat! Best of luck!</p>
<p>Just told my mom. It sucked.</p>
<p>Things are looking better than I expected though. It appears I will be allowed to return to my previous University.</p>
<p>I plan on working two jobs during the fall semester and making up the missed classes with winter sessions.</p>
<p>My mom told my dad over the phone but am still getting ready for **** to hit the fan when he get’s home from work.</p>
