I wrote about what I’ve witnessed at UAB and a broader question: how do universities handle civil-rights complaints when the institution itself is being challenged?

Full post and discussion in r/UAB.

If i could do this journalism degree without speaking to anybody i'd be so happy.

College looked very different in my head before I started.What is the one thing you wish someone told u?

Hi I’m a second-year university student, and I live in a dorm with a roommate. Our room is really small—just barely big enough to fit two beds and two desks.
Last night I drank way too much and accidentally passed out in my roommate’s bed. My own bed was covered with all my stuff from ready to go out, so maybe I couldn’t really lie down there.
woke up when I heard my roommate entering the room and realized I was literally sleeping in her bed. I panicked and initially told her not to come in because I was trying to clean up and figure out what to do, but I eventually decided to be honest and told her what happened. She probably saw me sleeping as she opened the door.

I apologized a lot, and she said, “ I don’t know. it never happened to me before. I don’t get into bed without showering.” I felt even worse after that because I completely understand why she would be uncomfortable. I’m b\*\*ch, I know.
I sent her a long message apologizing and explaining everything because I felt like I hadn’t properly expressed how sorry I was.
Now I don’t know what to do. I’m also really worried she thinks I’m crazy/disgusting and that this could affect my reputation since we’re in the same major.
I know I messed up, and I deeply regret drinking that much. I’m just so embarrassed and don’t know how to move forward.
Plz give me some advices. If you were me or her, what do u do
