I think more than anything it shows the dangers of alcohol . Whenever I go to a club I ' m always a little apprehensive if I ' m still sober , checking the surroundings , etc . When I ' m drunk that ' s a different story , but you can ' t really trust your judgement when you ' re intoxicated . If you could , this whole situation would likely never have happened . <| sep |> Just as an option to consider . I joined the military to pay for college . The GI bill paid 100 % of my tuition , 1 k $ per year for books , and ~ 1250 $ per month as a living stipend . I also had a bit of savings going in because I didn ' t want to have any debt . When evaluating where to work after graduating , I picked an employer with a generous tuition assistance program . I ' m getting my masters now fully paid for .
