The 5 Stages Of Grief When Your Friend Is Too High
Kyle Broad

OK, so your friend got a little too high. Not the end of the world. You've dealt with high people before. They're not so bad. Usually they just go off in their own little corner and laugh at cat videos. Or they talk about existence in a way that only they understand. It's all gonna be fine. You've taken care of too-drunk people before, what could be much different? This is gonna be no sweat... Really.

1. Denial.

They’re not really that high, are they? OK, so they look like they’re seeing aliens, they almost broke the sliding glass door, but they’re really fine… Right?

2. Anger.

Not necessarily at them, but at yourself for allowing this. You shouldn’t have let them have the other half of that edible. “But I don’t feel anything,” they said. Famous last words. You gave them the other half. Tragic mistake.

3. Bargaining.

“I promise the police are not out to get you. Here, look, I’ll give you some chips if you come down from there. OK, do you want money, then? Please, the chandelier is really not as sturdy as it looks.”

4. Depression.

Yup, you’re in this for the next 6+ hours. There’s no stopping it now. What do you do now? Get crayons? Put on a movie? It all seems so useless.

5. Acceptance.

Alright, it’s true. They’re way too high and out of control. But, you’re level-headed enough, and you’re going to get both of you through this.

Regardless of outcome, they’re still your good friend, and you’re going to get them through this high. Besides -- you’ll be able to laugh about it when it’s all over. (As long as they don’t rip the chandelier out of the ceiling.)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
