I think you should spend the next 3 years working at a minimum wage job doing really menial **** like cleaning toilets, hauling garbage, etc. It would probably be fitting punishment for someone who could care less about their education and future and to me, that is light. Sorry, man, but stupidity like this really angers me, especially from someone who should have known better.
"well, i screwed up. a buddy of mine wanted to check out the student finance office for some minor funds, i went with him as a watch out man...and we got caught" __________
You're lucky the school is handling it internally instead of through the criminal justice system. I don't know how things work in Canada eh but you're lucky you won't need to explain yourself on every job application for the rest of your life. Maybe this school really needs your tuition money and won't kick you out.
The lighter side of me wants to ask if you got a ride ride while in the holding cell, but I won't do that. I hate to hear about your situation. That's tough. At least you realize that you screwed up man, and are going to go on with the consequences.
The thought did run through my mind that this is some elaborate whopper. But why you would want to make up something like this is beyond me. Looks like a job for:
I would think, if you were going to make something up, it would be positive, like about dating p*rn stars or living with models. Or at least about getting in a dramatic fight. Why would you want to tell everyone that you were stalking some chick until her boyfriend nearly beat you up, or that you'd "been caught stealing" (sorry, that song did run through my head). Those aren't anything to brag about. I will give him the benefit of the doubt... we all do stupid things. (hopefully not as stupid as what 3814 just did, no offense... but somebody out there does these things) Anyway, 3814, we trust you and support you, even if some of us might not accept a ride from you right now and might keep our valuables locked up and out of sight. Good luck...
I don't see what the problem is here. You are a student and needed money so you went to the student finance office to gather some funds. Makes perfect sense. I would just say that you were confused and thought the money was meant to finance your binge drinking. Honest mistake.
Tell your parents now before it gets real nasty. Yes, the college isn't obligated to tell them and you're going to be hard of hearing afterwards, but should you be expelled or worse, have a criminal record, the pain will only be bigger. If you really feel remorseful, well, now's the time to try those tears out on some authority figures...
He may have learned his or her lesson and took the opposite approach in hopes that he or she got the same attention. Some need the attention, good or bad. I knew a guy back in High School that loved to lie. He did everything from getting beat down from his dad and mom, stealing a car and then punching the cop that caught him to to losing his virginity to some girl he met while on a family vacation in Niagara Falls.
You have a point. There was a girl in my high school who ate lunch with us and told us story after story. Probably to get attention. The thing is, I would have been happy to be friends with her if she had just been herself. Instead, apparently she: worked nights as a nurse in a hospital (was she even 16 yet?), had a serious boyfriend whom we never saw and wore his ring (we decided she got it from her dad), and had a terminal illness. She wasn't supposed to survive the year, and kept changing how many months she had to live. [Isabel wastes valuable work time digging around on the Internet for a while.] In 2005, this person turns up alive and well, working as a computer programmer for a college in Wyoming. It sounds like she has more of a real life now and tells the actual truth. Too bad she couldn't have been like that back when we knew her. There was also one here who kept disappearing and reappearing. When we (her teachers) saw her, she would cozy up to us and try to make friends with us. She wanted to have a lot of excused absences. We knew she was dealing with some mental illness, etc., but there seemed to be a lot of tragedies in her life. Well, she may only have most of us once, but we compare notes on the students who look suspicious. Put our notes together, and her mom "died" in spring 2003 but miraculously came back to life later that fall. She was dealing with different deaths in the family that time, but her mom was around. She actually made it close to graduating but never did. No, I'm not going to look her up on the Internet. I doubt I could find her.
