I know similar threads have been posted a billion times, but after reading the recent Institutional Action article I would like some input on the best way to word this:
Freshman year, I came back to my dorm with too much to drink. I threw up in my dorm room hallway, and the RA on duty reported this. I had a meeting with a residential staff member but wasn't "punished" in any way (no class, paper,etc.), and when I reached out to the dean of students office, they told me I had no conduct issues on file. I'm only concerned about the wording because throwing up in a dorm room hallway doesn't give the best mental image, haha. Could I say something like this?
In the first semester of my freshman year, I came home to my dorm room intoxicated. The RA on duty reported this, and I met with a residential staff member, we discussed the consequences of underage drinking and responsibility, but no further actions were taken. I have not had any infractions since and sincerely regret my reckless behavior.
