After Finishing High School Janice Gets Accepted Into A Celebrated Undergraduate University as a Foundation For a Career as a Lawyer

After Janice completed high school, she applied to and was accepted into a highly rated program in math. Her rationale underlying this decision was that this area of study would be a good foundation for law school and wouldn’t be similar to the majority of law school applicants who elect to choose political science as their undergraduate major.

After graduating with a 3.95 GPA at the undergrad level, she applied to and was accepted at a prestigious law school at one of the Big East universities.

She liked her legal studies but from time to time she was besieged with all the work that law school demanded. Akin to the way in which she handled herself in her high school and undergraduate days, however, she made friends easily but barely got involved in social activities until the term was done.

After Feeling Proud of the Fact That She Had Done a Super Job on Her Exams, Janice Wanted to Let Her Hair Down and Have Some Fun

Janice was the kind of individual who worked in a vigorous manner to accomplish her goal and then would take a couple of days off when she could. It just so happens, nevertheless, that a large number of the things she did between terms or during her summer vacations did not have anything to do with drinking.

So Janice and a number of her friends from the university went to a local club where they had a few glasses of wine. As the hours quickly passed, Janice continued to drink without having any concerns about term papers or exams the following day. In point of fact, Janice stated to her classmates how thrilled she was to have fun drinking with her law school pals.

As the evening advanced, Janice and her pals continued to drink. In point of fact, she was having such a good time that she didn’t want the night to come to an end. It was almost as if she was making up for lost time and making an attempt to condense a year’s worth of fun into a single evening. Such a “game plan,” it needs to be stressed, hardly ever works. In fact, when Janice went to the restroom and threw up, her pals started to feel uneasy about her health.

About twenty minutes later when Janice started to talk in a confused manner, slur her speech, and then pass out, however, her classmates without delay realized that they needed to call the emergency number and ask for emergency assistance because they thought that Janice was manifesting alcohol poisoning symptoms.

Janice Narrowly Escapes Death, is Gratified to be Alive, and Promises to Never Again Drink in an Abusive and Hazardous Manner

Janice was attentive to the fact that she came close to losing her life and, as a consequence, was grateful to be alive. Her parents knew how hard she worked at school and how little she permitted herself to have any fun. Nonetheless, they also realized that Janice needed to stay away from hazardous drinking.

Consequently, they recommended that in the future, whenever a drinking opportunity unfolds, that she always drink in moderation and responsibly. Janice agreed and assured her parents and her friends that she would never again drink in an irresponsible and abusive manner. As stated by Janice, “I never thought that I would become one of the alcohol abuse and alcoholism statistics in the local college newspaper. I now realize that irresponsible and excessive drinking is not for me. I guarantee that this will never happen again.”

Fortunately, Janice was not only “book smart” but she also had a lot of common sense. Stated more explicitly, she quickly comprehended that she had made an error and decided that she would never make the same error again. In fact, she now understood that she had involved herself in “binge drinking” and that even one instance of this type of alcohol abuse can end in death.
