The last of my 8 nieces & nephew starts college tomorrow..............

He's the youngest and is going to school in North Carolina via Pennsylvania. He was over for a dinner last week with his "favorite" aunt & his grandmother.

I have sent the other 7 away to college with my list of 2-3 things they need to do in order to have a safe college experience. They are:

1. Don't drink anything someone hands to you, unless it's in a can or bottle with its lid still on & not opened at all.
2. If you're going to have sex, have protected sex.
3. This was for 2 of my nieces & 2 nephews who went to school in small towns in West Virginia & Pennsylvania "don't go
walking in the woods during hunting season."
4. Only this one is for my nephew going to school in NC "don't discuss the Civil War with anyone."

Those are very good things for a safe college experience.

I hope he will heed you...
