Being Loud Research Paper
One night in February, I invited some of my international friends to come over to my room hillside 506 to hangout have a good time and have some beers. As the night goes, at about 1 or 2 am I am not exactly sure, the music we are playing in our room was kind of loud so that people walking around in the hallway outside of my room could probably hear it easily. We didn’t realize that we were loud until there are two people doing round and knocked on our door ask me to open and turn the music down. I will just call them the RAs, they also saw that we have open beer cans on the table so they asked all of us to show our ids to them incase someone is not 21 years old at least. Unfortunately all of my roommates they are not 21 yet so the RAs took …show more content…
Also if I want to be loud and having more fun, next time I will just go to my friend’s house, so that will solve the problem of getting in trouble or disturbing people in hillside as well. Anyways, if me and my friends are to be hanging out again in hillside I will make sure some of the things will be done. First, I will make sure people that I invite to come hang out with me are 21 and over so that I will not have to worry about them getting in trouble around us, if they are not 21 then they should be in the room where is far away from alcohol. Second, I will in charge of the speaker at all time while I’m in my apartment, so that I can control the level of loudness the music we are playing out from the speaker during the night or quiet hour, and that will not cause us problem or someone to stop by to and tell us to turn it down. Third, I will make sure to not have any open alcohol containers around the area, since I have roommates who are not 21 yet then I have to put them away when I am done with it no matter what. Fourth, after 1am I will tell my friends not to yelling or screaming, since it is late and that is when the neighbors most likely will be in bed …show more content…
I learned to be more responsible with my friends and my room, since I am a host so everything they do is equal to be something I do as well. I learned that I shouldn’t be too loud once it is getting very late during the night, because people will be sleeping and nothing good happen after 2am. I learned that if I want to have more fun or be louder, then I have to be hanging out off campus in a house or something where I will not disturb people nearby. I learned that my friends who are not 21 can’t be anywhere near me and my friends while we are drinking no matter what they are doing, because then people can suspect that there is under age drinking or there is people who are over 21 offer alcohol to people who is not 21 years old. Anyways, I learned a lot from the situation, and I really don’t want it to happen again, since all my friends have to go through all the process and that is just not fun for them as well. I hope this reflection paper will tell you enough about what happened that night, and also show you that I really didn’t mean for this to happen, and it will not happen again while I am still here in hillside. I’m also very sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your

    As my eyes struggled to adjust to the bright florescent light beaming from the kitchen I realized that it was no more than 6 am. "Well hello there drunkie!" an annoyingly screechy male voice yells from the kitchen. Confused and still a little disoriented I ignored whatever asshole decided to wake up at such a god awful hour. I had noticed he was wearing spandex and a bandana so that shed some light on why anyone would be up so early after a night of drinking. After lying there for around 30 more minutes, I finally decided I might as well get up seeing as how most of the house was waking up top 40's crap coming from the stereo. Eventually the rest of the house gathered in the kitchen and the stories of the night before started to unravel. Luckily, I wasn't on the topic of discussion (aka I wasn't the drunkest) so I decided to start drinking again since I was on vacation. Bad idea.…

    In regards to the regulation of drinking in the dorms on his floor he stated, "we were told on the first week of spring semester from our RA that being caught in the dorms would lead to us receiving a strike. That statement alone deterred most of us (not sure about all) from even thinking about drinking in the dorms for awhile. But as time passed it became clear that we could get away with it since there were never any random room checks to hold us in check". Kurt's testimony seems to be a reoccurring theme from most freshman students I've spoken too.…

I just hope in the future, me or many others will think twice before engaging in foolish activities such as that. I mean even though I wasn’t physically…

As soon as I stepped from the dorm steps social control began to take place, my roommate Jason was the first to notice. "Why are you walking like that?" he asked. I responded by saying "like what" shrugged my shoulders and kept walking to class. Ten more students passed and my friend Alicia stopped me, "where is u going walking backwards?"

After the 1987 law change, over 50% of adults reported throwing up. A substantial increase other college related variables increased.

    Last October, my older brother and I were at Madison Square Garden watching the Knicks season opener against the Miami Heat. We both were ecstatic because we have never seen a live sports game before. At the end of the night, after the Knicks first win of the season, we were leaving Madison Square Garden. Soon after we left, a group of Middle-Aged men started to follow us. Slowly they caught up and were only a few feet behind us. At first we thought that we were being a bit paranoid but soon after the group of men began to badger us. They started to throw beer at us and began to make racial remarks. They were saying things such as “Muslims aren’t welcome in America” and one of the guys said to his friend “Be careful they might blow us up”. Many people witnessed the situation at hand and did not even once try to intervene. We didn’t know why they were doing this to us as we have never seen them or spoken to them ever. We started to run to the train station and thankfully there was a police officer standing there. We tried to explain what happened but he didn’t want to hear any of it and told us to leave. He then continued to read his newspaper. We both knew that there was nothing to do so we took the long train ride home.…

    Underage possession of alcohol is a serious crime that affects many people. Being intoxicated usually leads to doing stupid things, like vandalism or crashing a car etc. When I was charged with underage drinking it not only affected me, it also affected my parents and how they trust me, it affected the arresting police officers because they had to fill out paperwork, and my actions negatively affected the family of the Christmas ornament. I’m sorry for my actions of vandalism as well as the consumption of alcohol and I have learned from my mistakes.…

    I am only now beginning to enter my sophomore year at college but there has always one part of it that has been especially exciting, the parties. Yes, those glorious nights where you can escape from the nagging of your parents, procrastinate on some of that homework, or maybe even meet someone special. Any average college student could tell you that the craziest parties always happen on Thirsty Thursdays. Once that day of the week comes around students start to forget the stresses of their week and go out to try and have some fun, sometimes too much fun. Many great memories are made at parties, some are good others seem to be the worst times of your life. But what drives a college student to party so hard? Is it s lack of confidence, a desire to fit in, just to let loose, or one of the other many possibilities? In this essay I reflect upon a few of the many parties I attended this past semester and studied the party goers so i could perhaps understand the drive to get so out of hand. During the course of composing my field notes, which I have blended into my essay, I gathered experiences as both an insider and an outsider to the environment to search for the answer to some of my questions.…

    There are many styles of listening for many different people. It could vary on the person, situation, the place, and the atmosphere. Like, a really good place for a conversation would be in an office, a fancy restraunt, or under the roof of your own home. But probably the most common place for an active listening audience would be in a class room itself. Like the books said "Most people assume that listening is fundamentally a passive activity in which the receiver absorbs a speaker's ideas, rather the way a sponge absorbs water."…
