Among all other indicators, trust yourself and your intuition.

Intuition is the most valuable weapon or tool you possess.  Ignore it at your peril.

‘Intuition’ is derived from the Latin word ‘intueri’ which roughly translated means ‘to look inside’ or ‘to contemplate.’

Basically, your Intuition provides you with beliefs or feelings that you can’t quite justify or explain, you just ‘know’ something.

It’s when you get a ‘bad vibe’ or ‘gut feeling’ about something. You’re not sure, you can’t articulate why you feel a certain way. Something or someone one just doesn’t feel right.

It’s happened before. Sometimes you’ve trusted it, and sometimes not. If you think about it, it’s been pretty accurate and, if listened to, would have; prevented or ended unhealthy relationships, made a better decision or kept you safe.

Learning to trust, then act on your Intuition is a practice no different than jogging or swimming. It requires you being in-tune with your senses, ‘hearing’ what it is saying and having the trust to act on it.

Sometimes following it may be challenging. But, when considering your safety on campus, understand, this is not the time to worry about hurting someone’s feelings or explaining your actions. Just leave. The longer you stick around, the more at risk you become.

Exit as quickly as possible through the safest method possible.

Alcohol Negative Impacts Your Intuition.

Intuition is your key sense. When you drink, you dampen your ability to hear your intuitive voice.

Staying safe on campus requires awareness of the people, places and things around you.

The more you drink, the less aware you may be to allowing others to get your drinks (making you vulnerable to date-rape drugs).

Being intoxicated causes errors in judgment leaving you in a potentially dangerous location, situation or with someone you otherwise would sense is ‘bad.’

To stay safe on campus, keep your wits about you as much as possible and trust that genius of a voice inside your head. It may save your life.
