people make mistakes. i got a dwi spring of my freshman year. it bothered me for at least 2 years before i realized it was the greatest thing to happen to me. if it didn't happen then, it was going to happen later and it might have been worse. no one was hurt, i didn't get in a wreck. things can always be worse. be thankful no one was hurt and this was a lesson well learned. it's easy to sit in a high chair and say "dude, the guys last year did the same thing, wtf are you doing". i was the first of my friends to get a dwi. i told them all the details. how it sucked and how much time and money it cost me. without fail, for the next 4 yrs or so, my phone would ring on a sunday afternoon. someone else had gotten one and was looking for guidance. unless it's happening to you, it's not real.
