Don’t Drink and Drive: Understanding the Consequences of an Underage DUI
After the torturous two-hour long exams and endless lectures, a late-night party with friends awaits you. However, even though you’re ready to have a great time laughing and drinking, make sure to prioritize your safety and the well-being of others around you well-after the fun has been had. Don’t let a couple of beers or shots prevent you from going home. More than 29% of the US population has died from DUI car accidents, and you and your friends deserve better than to become another statistic.
Did you also know an underage DUI is one of the worst traffic violations to receive? Take care to remember these consequences so that you fully understand the impact of an underage DUI.
-
The first-time offense will not be lenient towards you
It’s common to have one speeding ticket or a minor traffic violation, but a DUI on your record will illustrate bad and questionable morale to a police officer who pulls you over, or a judge sentencing your punishment in court. Your driver’s license can be suspended for however long the court sees fit. Additionally, you will have to pay large fines, participate in mandatory community service, attend DUI education school, and typically serve jail time for a few days.
-
If you are convicted of additional offenses prior to a current DUI, expect harsher consequences than the first
Expect longer jail time and higher fees. Priorly convicted individuals can spend up to 10 years in jail for a DUI alone. Furthermore, you will be required to install an interlock ignition device in your vehicle. It functions as a breathalyzer to measure your BAC but will ask for a breath sample at random times during your driving. It will not stop your vehicle from operating necessarily, but it will immediately send information to your probation officer if you have violated the law by driving intoxicated in any way.
-
If you hurt anyone – including yourself – you will have to live with the aftermath the rest of your life
You are not the only person that can suffer the consequence of a DUI. Sometimes, others – such as your passenger or people in cars on the road next to you – may get caught up in your irresponsible driving. This results in serious injury – or even death – to all parties involved. The possible weight on your conscience should be enough to prevent you from ever driving under the influence in the first place.
The next time you plan on partying and drinking on the same night, make a plan of action that uses alternative measures in getting you and friends home safely to prevent any risk of harm. The reason that DUI laws for underage individuals are so strict is that the law wants to enforce safety for the community and its citizens above all else. Not to say that you can never party or have fun again – it ’s taking the lesson of DUI’s very seriously and always to choose to drive sober. You can have all the fun in the world and still get home safely so you can have an even better time tomorrow night.

The 15 Best Things About Being in College
“Your college years will be the best times of your life”. This well-worn cliché has been trotted out so many times, it triggers eye rolls in some people.
However, it is undeniable that there is a lot of truth in that statement. Below, we’ll run down just a few of the reasons why you should be excited to start your freshmen year.
1) Starting again with a clean slate
In high school, just about everybody knows your business. In college, nobody will know your back story, meaning that people you meet will judge you on the content of your character rather than on your reputation.
2) You meet people from a variety of backgrounds
Unless you are attending a super-tiny private college, you will be in an environment where there are many thousands of people from various socioeconomic backgrounds.
This makes it easy to find friends that get you, challenge your prejudices, and broaden your horizons.
3) Belonging to a Greek organization
Looking to develop deeper friendships during your time at college? Seriously consider rushing and pledging a fraternity/sorority.
With anywhere from a few to dozens of houses to choose from, there’s a group of guys/girls out there that’s right for you.
Once you get initiated, you’ll be able to wear super cool greek clothing that will make you feel like the king/queen of campus.
4) Freedom from your parents
From the moment you were born, your parents lorded over your every move. In your later teens, though, this amount of control becomes tiresome.
College will be your first taste of freedom, and it will feel … good. For the first time in your life, you get to call the shots.
It isn’t always perfect and you’ll make plenty of mistakes, but there are few moments in your life more exciting than the moment your parents pull away from your dorm for the first time.
5) You can explore countless interests
Astronomy. Photography. Cricket. Anime. These are just a few interests which have clubs dedicated to them on campus.
Join one. Join a lot. Explore your curiosities – there’s no telling where they’ll lead you.
6) The social events
From Halloween parties to sorority formals to last class throwdowns, the calendar of campus social events is diverse and action packed.
Have fun, meet new people, but don’t go overboard – that essay won’t write itself, after all.
7) You have the opportunity to study overseas
There is more to the world than just America. Fortunately, most colleges offer study abroad programs that allow you to complete your courses on the other side of the globe.
From Brisbane to Brussels, the possibilities for cultural immersion are endless.
8) You actually get to learn
The sorry state of secondary education in America means that if a subject isn’t on a standardized test, it isn’t taught, and most lessons are taught by rote.
In college, your professors will encourage you to think critically, allowing you to grasp concepts that can’t be appreciated simply by being memorized.
9) Meal hall (sometimes)
Crispy chicken burgers for lunch. The ability to go back for seconds (or thirds!). Soft-serve ice cream machines. Theme nights.
While there are low lights in the rotation of any meal hall, when they get it right – it’s magic.
10) College sports
Think you experienced school spirit when you cheered on your high school football team? Wait until you tailgate outside a stadium for hours and sing school fight songs before filing into a stadium with tens of thousands of fellow students/alumni/local sports fans just as hyped as you are.
Fasten your seat belt.
11) Sleeping in
Hate being dragged out of bed by mom after hitting the snooze button for the third time? Yeah, you won’t have to worry about that anymore.
Unless you have a mandatory class that’s scheduled for 8:00 am, you can build your class schedule so that you won’t have to wake up before 10 am if you don’t wish to do so.
12) Midday naps
Sometimes, you can’t avoid waking up early (stupid mandatory classes). Unlike high school, though, you can go back home and nap between classes. Ahh, blissful slumber!
13) A deeper dating pool than at home
Dating can be a bit of a drag during high school. Limited partners, psychotic Dads – it’s a minefield out there.
At college, you have thousands of potential mates to pick from, and you won’t have to worry about keeping up appearances with near-homicidal fathers.
14) The feeling of accomplishment
There will be times in college when your back is up against the wall. You have 12 hours to finish a term paper that’s worth 30% of your grade. If you don’t ace the final, you’ll get an F.
When you pull off these miracles, though, the feeling of accomplishment will make you feel like a champ. And when you walk across the stage to pick up your degree when you graduate? Damn.
15) You’ll have a new appreciation for home and your folks
When you leave home, it might not be soon enough for you. Given the constraints your parents place on you while growing up, it’s understandable if you hold some resentment toward them.
After trying to make your way in the world without their help during your freshmen year, though, you’ll see them in a whole new light.
Appreciative for what they have done for you over the years, your time away will do much to strengthen the relationship between you and your parents.
