Also, vary your route in to make it more difficult for a potential attacker to determine your routine. With the beautiful spring weather comes the desire to let the outside in by opening doors and windows to apartments and homes. Especially when left open while you are gone, or overnight while you sleep, these windows and doors make it easier for strangers to enter your home. Do not give them the opportunity. Avoid leaving first-floor windows open and make certain the screens are secured and not easily removed from the outside.
Spring is a time of new beginnings, and often-new romances.
As much fun as it is to meet new people and renew friendships neglected in the rush of the semester, this is not a time to be careless. Attend parties and other social events with friends you can trust. It takes very little effort to slip Rohypnol, or similar mind-altering drug, into your beverage. The intent can range from robbery to sexual assault and can happen to both males and females. Reduce your consumption of alcohol.
