<p>If it bothered your roommate enough that he/she went to the hassle of reporting it, I’m willing to bet your idea of indulging responsibly differs from most others on CC.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree with your disagreement. At many colleges, simply knowing about stuff like this and not saying anything gets you a punishment too. Why should anyone that put themselves at risk because their roommate doesn’t show self-control or discretion?</p>
<p>Don’t worry about holes in your resume. Your resume will eventually have the date and the college you graduated from. You won’t include your high school graduation date on your resume, so it isn’t an issue. (And it isn’t as if lots and lots of students don’t take 5 years to graduate anyway.)</p>
<p>With respect to disciplinary notes on your transcript, request one and see if there is a note. You might be pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>If there is, then you’ve got a couple of choices: man up and explain why you were suspended as a freshman, or apply to jobs where they are unlikely to request a copy of your transcript.</p>
<p>Either way, I hope you seriously think about stopping drinking and smoking entirely before you go back to school. For whatever reason, it is pretty clear that you can’t manage it. Use your time off to learn how to become sober and drug free. (And remember, lots and lots of companies do pre-employment and continuing drug screening. Really, you’re doing yourself a big favor in getting this under control now.)</p>
<p>There are two possibilities.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You attend BHU or Notre Dame or some other very religious school where the penalty for even a minor infraction involving illegal substances is huge. Your roommate is a religious fanatic who told on you because he is never sins and won’t tolerate sins in anyone else.</p></li>
<li><p>You don’t go to a school with a hard core religious affiliation and you have a problem. Your alcohol violation was indeed serious and would make any of us catch our breath if we knew what it was. Your roommate turned you in because he thinks you have a problem and he wants you to get some help.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Difficult to give you any advice without knowing which one it is.</p>
<p>wow, i can’t even comprehend getting in trouble for drinking and smoking. Sounds like you go to a ****ty schoolmang</p>
<p>edit, saw this gem lool</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Officer: Do you know how fast you were going?</p>
<p>You: I was going 30 MPH above the speed limit, but I was being responsible about it.</p>
<p>jman123h,</p>
<p>So i am curious… when you went in to appeal your suspension what did you say to the board? and if you don’t mind mentioning what school you attend? I am in the process of appealing my suspension due to underage consumptions and it is crucial that i finish this spring semester, thats all i need to do to study in france next year. so again, What did you say to the review board for them to let you finish the semester?</p>
<p>Some people would kill to a top ten business school and are serious about getting a great education so I think you should get clean and go to a community college or something.</p>
<p>I think your first question should be…</p>
<p>“What’s wrong with me?” And your second…
“Where do I find help”</p>
<p>Get yourself sorted before you do anything else or you could just end up making the same mistake again.</p>
<p>oh hey guys i got a serious alcohol violation and was suspended for an entire semester. they told me if i was caught drinking again, i would get a harsher suspension, so i did it and got in trouble</p>
<p>OMG THAT GUY WAS SO MEAN BUTT OUT OF MY BIZNISS IT’S NOT MY FAULT</p>
<p>I’m sorry but lol @ you blaming your roommate. Sure, that was a ******y move, but he had a right to do it. And he wasn’t the one drinking and smoking. He just made you responsible for your own actions. Grow up.</p>
<p>I don’t blame the roommate at all. You can get in serious trouble if drugs are found in your room- regardless of which person’s it was.</p>
<p>If they’ll take you, transfer to a school that has more reasonable policies.</p>
