Location: Astor Place Raising Canes, Time: 11:45pm

raising canes

So...we walk there and everyone is ok

We order our food, sit down at a booth

My friend, we'll call her Hallie, goes to sit down but misses and plants herself on the floor

ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ

We all laugh because it doesn't register to us how drunk she is

And there she was...

Hunched on the floor with her head in her knees

Too drunk to get to the dorms

We called an uber and half of us take her back to the dorms, while me and two of my friends have to run back to the dorm.

When we got to the dorms, Hallie was sprawled out on the sidewalk completely passed out.

So...I went to the security desk

So...the lovely ambulance arrives, one of my friends ride with her to the hospital, our RA tells us to scatter, and we sit together and reflect of what just happened...


───▄▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▀▀▄─── 。。。。。。。。Me and Gigi went to the hospital an hour later to accompany my roommate who went with Hallie to the hospital.

───█▒▒░░░░░░░░░▒▒█───。。。。。。。。We had only known Hallie for 3 days, so we didn't know her emergency contact information or her birthday.

────█░░█░░░░░█░░█────。。。。。。。。。Yeah...those two got an email from the administration and had to take AA classes, but all is well now and we all became best friends after that.
