Off to Freshmen Year Prepared! by blooger Jade



Going off to school can be an exciting time!  With that excitement comes some fear: will I do well in classes?, will I like my roommate?, what is the college experience going to be like?   With so much to think about it sometimes can be hard to forget about the important details of keeping yourself safe in your freshmen year.  Becoming a victim of rape is not something that happens to “those people,” it can happen to anyone at anytime
The good news is that you can take some precautions to protect yourself.  Traveling with a friend or a group is a great way to explore campus, also an excellent way to travel at night.  Be cautious with your information, in the first couple of weeks you are meeting so many new people.  While it is an exciting time remember that not everyone may be your friend.  Giving out personal information to numerous people may not be the wisest decision.  Also taking a self-defense class is a great idea, you can work out and learn how to protect yourself at the same time.
Freshmen year is an amazing part of the college experience; however, it can be so much more enjoyable if you take the time to implement a few safety measures.
