Hey Guys!

So I'm a little late on this posting, i apologize! At this time last Monday the United States and other country's all over the world were in complete shock with the even that took place at Virginia Tech. Everyone had there opinion on the matter and many people spoke their minds. I tried to keep my judgment to myself. Still to an extent i would like to keep that a private thing. I am in complete support of the Virgina Tech community and their families, for i was very very close to becoming a student at VT. I've learned over the past year that you get so comfortable with a way of life, your surroundings, the people you see everyday or even once a year even those people that you only talk to over the phone or IM. We get so comfortable that we don't ever remind our selves that in a split second everything about your existence could change. Your world could completely fall apart with a simple phone call, E-Mail or even sound. I think that if people thought about these things more those comfortable settings we feel we are always in could become much safer. If when we are walking back from the library at odd hours of the night we constantly check our the road behind us and in front of us for unfamiliar behavior, or when we are home to make sure we lock our doors and don't open the door unless you know the person trying to get in. It the little things we do in our everyday life that keep us safe, the good habits that we get ourselves into can make less prone to a tragedy than someone else. Of course i an not naive and i understand things are out of human control. You can not no matter how hard you try completely control someone else's behavior. However if you know your roommate has been saying odd things recently that scare you don't hesitate to refer them to help. They may begin to hate you but at least your life is not in jeopardy any longer. I have noticed Clemson City police keeping a watchful eye on the Clemson campus recently and it is greatly appreciated however they can not watch each student as close as each of us may need to be watched. We need to protect ourselves from preventable danger.
