Safety Tips for Female College Students

After high school graduation, everybody’s excited for a commencement that is often perceived as the stage of freedom and challenge. Entering college requires physical, mental and emotional preparation. It is very important to properly nourish your body with the right kind and right amount of food because as we all know, food contains nutrients that make our body strong to withstand all the stress and toxic from the environment. If our physical health is impaired, we won’t be able to execute our normal daily activities in life.

Mental preparation comes next. Establish your goals in life and think of the special people you are doing it for. Be focused on your endeavors but also prepare yourself for trials and shortcomings. (To prevent depression and trauma) Determining your ways to reach your goal within a realistic time frame is also one means of preparing yourself mentally. While being emotionally prepared means not easily pushed over by friends or peers. You got to develop your confidence and self-righteousness.

These aren’t just the things you should prepare yourselves of. As college students, this means Dorm rooms, right? You’ll probably be away from your families until a summer vacation. This implies that you’ll be walking out alone or with your girlfriends when going home, eating out or watching a movie. Being alone in the streets pose great risk for heinous crimes such as rape.

According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, girls ages 16 to 19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape or assault. The rapists aren’t just masked strangers. It is declared that almost 2/3 of rape cases were completed by someone known to the victim. Some were the victim’s friends and some were the victim’s relative. It is imperative to give our college girls some tips on being prepared for undesirable circumstances that may cross their path.

Tip # 1: Whenever hanging out with friends, going outside alone or just buying snacks downtown, always have a handy defensive armor in your pocket, something like a lipstick pepper spray. This will put you in control even when you’re with a boyfriend. Once he’s making you feel uncomfortable, just slowly glide your hands down to your pocket and spray him right in the face.

Tip # 2: Don’t think that dorm rooms are always safe as the owners tell them they are. Who knows? Maybe the owner of the dorm room might be a rapist himself…
There’s nothing wrong in protecting yourself from bad elements. Besides, you got nothing to lose! Get a door brace for your room to prevent someone from mistakenly or forcefully entering your room.

Tip # 3: Get a burglar alarm. Hang it on any doorknob (non-metallic doors) and it instantly and automatically sounds when an intruder touches the doorknob. Carry it with you and just pull out the metal chain to sound the alarm and deter an assailant.

Never give an aggressor the opportunity to abuse or harass you in any way. College life can be full of fun, laughter and bliss. Just keep these safety tips in practice.
