IWU Confessions
“
One night, I was driving home (I live close to campus), and as I got out of my car, I saw my older man neighbor coming toward me. It was not my neighbor. He was holding a Kroger bag with some beers and maybe a lunchables. He had a white beard & was rambling on about how he's new in town, did I have a boyfriend, and how to make friends. Part of me was scared, part of me was mad for being scared of this kind of creepy guy, part of me felt bad for him since he wasn't violent... Well, I said I had a boyfriend & he asked me if he could be friends with him, and kept rambling about something... eventually, he gave me a big Budweiser tall boy from his bag, and I just kinda snuck off into my back door while he was rambling outside. He was totally harmless and gave me a giant free beer! But you know that gut feeling you get sometimes... stay safe, keep your doors locked at night, girls stay in groups, and try not to walk alone at night, drunk/weekend or no. But also be nice to townies...maybe they're super nice strangers who give you beer! ...always trust your gut.
