Campus Security & Public Safety

How is this “magic” trick done?

Tips to Reduce the Risk

• Remember that alcohol is still #1 date rape drug. Persons who drink alcohol are more likely to be sexually assaulted.
• Never leave a drink unattended, even for just a minute.
• If someone wants to buy you a drink, go with that person when they buy it so you can keep track of the drink.
• When holding your drink, hold it so where your hand is covering the top.
• If you or a friend feels extremely drunk after only a few drinks, get help because you may have been drugged.
• Other two predator drugs being used are roofies and GHB. Both make you feel drunk after 20-30 minutes. Both can cause amnesia and unconsciousness for three to eight hours.
• If you go into a room and the person locks the door, leave immediately.
• Go to a party with your friends and always leave together. If someone you just met wants to walk you home, thank him/her for the offer, but leave with the group you came with. You can always see this person the next day, when you’re both sober.

REMEMBER….any beverage including Juice, tea, coffee, soda and water can be drugged too.

STRESSED ABOUT FINALS?

Here’s some tips to help you through your week……

Limit caffeine intake during finals week. Caffeine is a stimulant that can actually make you feel more stressed. Caffeine can also keep you from getting enough sleep.

Be sure to get enough sleep during finals week. Not sleeping enough can make you feel more worried about your finals. It can also weaken your immune system, increasing the chance of you getting sick during finals week. This will only increase stress.

Eat healthy during finals week. This will keep you energized for studying and keep you healthy, both of which will help you reduce stress.

Only study for an hour at a time. After that, take a five to ten minute break. This will help you stay on task without getting frustrated or a headache from reading too much material at one time.

Don’t party at all during finals week, even if you do have an off day. This could set you back in your studying, make you sick and actually make you do worse on your finals. Resist the urge to party until after you finals are done. It will be well worth it.

Make sure to get some exercise during finals week. This will keep you healthy during the week, help you to be energized for both studying and your tests and actually help to reduce stress. When you begin to feel stressed, go for a quick run or lift some weights. The gym is a great place to work off some stress.
