Trust In Provo

Ok so my blog post today is inspired by my apartment shopping that I did tonight. I went south of campus because that is where I have heard the single life is the best, so I am south of campus shopping and all the lease offices are closed because it was about 8 o'clock at night. My friend says that we should knock on peoples doors and see if they let us in. So we go to the Elms and knock on a random apartments and ask if we can look around. They said yes and let us have free rein; they didn't escort us around they were just like, "Yeah sure no problem look around and let me know if i can answer any questions you have." Translate in my head "Yeah sure no problem come in, look at my stuff, take whatever and let me know if you need help finding my jewelry."

This is so intersting and irresponsible to me! The trust on this campus is scary! People need to realize that things get stolen, people get hurt in the real world outside of the "bubble." I think that it's great we feel safe here but people will and do take advantage of that mindset.

I could have easily taken so many things tonight from peoples apartments (creepy thought)! At other colleges they don't just let people in to "take a look around." I was amazed at how trust is so prevalent that I think it is an issue! I don't know what to do about it, but this is just what was on my mind!
