sobriety
There is a girl in my dorm who has a bit of a problem.
She's a very shy girl, very secretive. It's rare that she's around during the day, and she seldom sleeps in her own room. When asked where she's been or where's she's going, she's vague. "Oh, out." "Places."
To deal with this, she drinks. This is unfortunate for a number of reasons. One, she doesn't know how to drink in moderation. Two, she often does so alone.
I'd heard about her drinking for a while now, but have never actually seen it until tonight. I went to her room to hang out with a bunch of other people and saw her (and only her) absolutely shitfaced. She was stumbling, slurring her words, insulting people, knocking over drinks, candles, and whatever else was precariously placed. I just checked up on her a few minutes ago and my neighbor, Julia, is trying to get this girl to drink water and sober up, or at least go to sleep. The girl responds by laughing and swearing.
It almost seems like she can't interact or have a good time without drinking. This is especially bad for her roommate, Kendra, who earnestly wants to get along with her and be her friend, but feels like she can only do so when they're both drinking.
What should I do? I can't actively stop her from drinking. The RA, Stina, can't do anything about it unless Stina actually sees this girl drinking.
Please don't drink, guys. :(
Also, I have fallen in love with this song and would recommend it.
