<p>If you go out after dark you WILL be raped and/or killed!!!</p>
<p>I’m a guy and I like to jog at around 2am. Still a bad idea?</p>
<p>Theres probably going to be a lot of drunk people out at that time. </p>
<p>In response to the OP:
Walk on the lighted streets at night, that’s usually the route that campus police patrols where I’m at.</p>
<p>@LunaCow - the most dangerous thing about consistently running at 2am is probably a disgruntled roommate that can’t sleep through you leaving and coming back.</p>
<p>I probably wouldn’t run with an iPod that late, but you’ll be safe on campus.</p>
<p>I would think that (depending on where you are) running at 2 a.m. would be more of a danger because people might think you did something wrong.</p>
<p>Something girls should know: People are going to want to f**k you; it’s a fact of life. I would heed MD mom’s advice on figuring out more than one way of saying “no” (That is, if you want to say no 
)</p>
<p>Know the number of the local police and campus police. Know where the nearest hospital is. Know where walk-in clinics are. ALWAYS have your phone with you! Know who you can call if you run into trouble, your car breaks down on the side of the road, or if any type of emergency happens.</p>
<p>If you’re going out, always have a plan and stick to it. This mostly applies to getting back to your dorm/apartment/whatever safely. Also, look out for your friends. A guy at a party actually came up to me to tell me he was planning on taking advantage of my friend. It was absurd.</p>
<p>Just don’t run at night</p>
<p>Right Lobzz–you do not have to say no. Only if you want to. lol</p>
<p>It is good to come up with some ideas of how to get out of situations and still saving face. My DH’s mother told him–some forty something years ago–that if he got into a situation that he knew was heading in the wrong direction, to just tell his friends that he needed to go to the restroom or that he was feeling sick (and then go home). I have always thought that that very simple excuse could be used in many situations and most kids would have someone else in the group who would be willing to escort them because they didn’t want to get in the trouble either.</p>
<p>I’m sure your school has something like this. But if you are alone at night and want someone to walk back with you, you can call them and they will send some one to take you back to your dorm/apartment. Never assume that nothing willl happen, or that everything will work out right.</p>
<p>safe sex is great sex, (he) better wear a latex, cuz you dont want (to send) that late text, that ‘i think im late’ text.</p>
<p>October47 and MD Mom have great references!</p>
<p>have fun!</p>
<p>As obvious as a bad idea as this is, I’ve seen it happen. When a random guy asks you for your number and you don’t want to give it to him, don’t. Look, a lot of girls get asked out all the time by many guys that have good intentions, but you have to understand you are not doing him a favor by giving him your number if you have no intention of even hanging out with him. If you are not interested, do not lead a guy on because you may get yourself into a situation that you don’t want to be in. </p>
<p>Practice saying no so that when you are surprised by a guy, you will be able to say “no.”</p>
<p>I love running at night!! I guess it depends on the college campus, but I have ALWAYS felt safe running on campus. besides…if someone is going to try and attack me…first they have to out-run me? haha</p>
<p>Bullets will be faster than you. Though that’s very rare.</p>
<p>Feeling safe and being safe are two entirely different things, particularly in this age bracket.</p>
<p>Keep your eye on your drink. Don’t leave it to go dance and resume sipping it. Especially important in bars and frats. Rufies can cause you to black out and have no memory of what has happened.</p>
<p>Heels may seem like a good idea when going out, but walking a mile back to your dorms while intoxicated in shoes that give you blisters is no fun. Bring a pair of walking shoes. Also, i there’s mixed drinks, don’t chug them. Realize there’s probably more alcohol in them than you can taste. You don’t want to spend the night puking. Don’t drink to catch up with friends, drink what you’re comfortable with. If you take meds, make sure it’s okay to mix with alcohol. If you feel line you’re going to die, go to the hospital. I’ve never been to that point but chances are you’ll know somebody. Drink water before bed if you drank a lot. Just be safe if you choose to drink. Know your limits and Pace yourself. Guys sometimes like to get girls drunk. Also, if you’re taking shots, know the proof. A shot of 80 proof is actually considered two drinks. So, don’t take the same number of shots with 151 as you would with so co. Drinking responsibly or semi responsibly will keep you safe. Don’t ride public transit alone at night. Remember that what you wear sends signals. You will find out what parties have creepers and what group of guys creeps on freshmen girls. Upperclassman may try to play the older man card and try to impress you because they can buy you booze. I’ve never had a problem with creepy guys or whatnot, but it happens every so often at my school. Stick to your group of friends, have some guy friends and people won creep on you.</p>
