How To Stay Safe in the City

After a tragic event at the University of Washington last night, I am dedicated to staying safe in The City. So here it goes ladies...7 steps to stay safe in The City (:


1. When walking anywhere-especially at night, carry mase. If you don't feel safe with mase, purchase bear spray! It works from 60 ft away so obviously its a great investment.
2. Use the buddy system. Go everywhere with a friend...never leave the dorm/frat alone!
3. When walking at night, have your phone dialed to 911 or phone a friend. A predator will be less likely to attack you if you are on the phone. + Its always nice to have that comfort of knowing someone is on the other end.
4. Carry in your purse an extra pair of shoes that you can run in. Running in pumps is just a disaster and a half. Go out at night prepared!
5. Know the number of campus security...example: The Night Hawk at Seattle U.
6. When in doubt, call a cab...a couple extra dollars on a cab could save your life.  
7. If you still don't feel safe, take a self defence class! You will burn calories while knowing how to kick someones ass.

Cheers to staying safe!
