SECURITY NEWS LETTER...SECURITY IS BEING BEEFED UP
On campus each month they put out a security news letter, letting everyone what crimes have been committed on the campus over the past few weeks. Sometimes they print up the crime stats for the local area as well, and although we feel like we are safe, when you look at what happened at VT or Columbine you just have to wonder if you are truly safe, or if that is just an illusion. Well, they have beefed up campus security around here a bit of late. I have noticed that they have installed a few more security camera devices around. I don't really know if they are the functioning kind, or the ones that are dummies and just make people think that they are being watched. Either way, I am sure they are a crime deterrent anyway. Now they do have a new alarm monitoring device on some of the buildings on campus for during the off hours. Unfortunately though these really protect the stuff more than the people who are here if you know what I mean. Although I have noticed that they have more on campus security guards than they did last semester, especially on campus at night, which does definitely make everyone feel a bit more secure.
I try not to focus too much on the bad news that is always coming from the television. The stuff about murder, rape, kidnapping, school shootings, and so forth. I do worry about these things sometimes, but I know these things just prove that you must live everyday to the fullest, because you never know when it will end. You must play hard, love hard, and speak your mind, because any day could be your last. If that is the case, then I want to make sure my last day is awesome, and the best way to do that is to make everyday awesome. Then at least when I pass, whenever that is, they will say wow she really knew how to live! That is how I want to be remembered, and not how I died. That is a legacy that no one should have to leave behind.
