Excerpt
Coming home to my dorm on a Friday night to find myself suddenly, but willingly, forced to take on the position of mother and nurse comes to mind when reflecting on a past situation where I had a choice between letting a friend die or take on the responsibility of making sure she lived. It's unfortunate how typical it is to encounter a seen in college where alcohol has taken total control of someone. I had just come back to the dorms with my roommate Erin after spending an evening of fellowship with some of our closest friends. After we had just put down our purses and were obsessively checking our email to see if anyone had written when our friend Kelly runs into our room frantically and says, "I need you guys to watch Bri for a minute, I need to go find the others." Erin and I took one look at each other and knew that what we were about to encounter was not good.
