Campus Attacks

So yesterday when I got to school I noticed that there were signs on all the doors that led into a building. When I stopped to read it I saw that a female student was attacked on the way to her car the night before. Tuesday night I had class but when I got to school it was cancelled, the time I would normally have gotten out of the class was the time the girl was attacked. Luckily the girl was able to get away and she is fine. They haven’t found the guy so walking to my car last night was kind of scary. Where I park and where my classes are held are about an 8 minute walk away from each other. You would think that there would be a lot more security roaming the parking lot and campus after someone gets attacked but my whole way to my car last night I only saw one security officer and he was by my class not in the parking lot.

Walking through all the cars to get to my car was nerve raking. I knew my chances of getting attacked were slim but I still made sure I had my keys out and my mace ready. When I reached my car and locked my doors I was so relieved. When I was driving out of the parking lot I saw a lot of women walking alone and not really paying attention to their surroundings. You would think that after someone got attacked they would pay attention and not have their headphones on. I have a night class again tonight but this time I plan on walking with someone else to my car.
