College Preparation
It is the time of year when high school seniors are preparing to graduate. As I have been working my way towards graduation, I have been thinking a lot about college. I won't bore you with the details, because most of the thoughts align with what every other senior is thinking. However, there is a portion of my thoughts that I believe few others preparing for college have considered. Generally it concerns a disaster or major event scenario that leaves me unable to contact my family. Also, since I will be living in a dorm, there is far less space to store any sort of provisions or material that would be useful in such a situation. I most definitely will have a minimum or a bug-out bag, and hopefully I can manage a bit more. I checked, and fortunately the college I am attending allow knives, as long as they are under 4 inches. This is wonderful, because a knife can perform so many vital functions. I won't blather on any more about knives, since I have already written a previous post concerning them (please look back and read it if you have not already). Anyways, I wanted to share my concerns, and I wondered if others had similar thoughts? Please comment if so.

I have thought about a lot of "What if" situations that could possibly occur in college. The one that worries me the most is a earthquake happening while I am in my dorm. With thousands of other students living in many other halls, I don't know when a rescue squad would possibly reach my dorm. I can't do much to prepare for this but I know many techniques that could help me live for a long time without water or food, such as not to panic because panic attacks causes you to lose a lot of the water in your body. I could also check the news more frequently, but when something big is going to happen, it's going to happen no matter what. 2012, word...
ReplyDeleteSomething like this as far as a disaster on campus has never really crossed my mind until now. If something like this can happen it could be very disastrous. Now, I have another idea to think about while preparing for college.
