Environmentalist coming to campus By Emily Kois Managing Editor @emilykois On Monday, October 22 at 3 p.m. FGCU will be hosting author and environmental entrepreneur Paul Hawken. Hawken will present a lecture on his published book Drawdown: Real Solutions for Climate Change. This event is free to students, facility and the public and will take place in the Cohen Center Ballroom. Hawken is the Executive Director of Project Drawdown, a non-profit dedicated to researching when and how global warming can be reversed.

HAWKEN Hawken’s lecture will focus on the solutions to climate change that have been featured in Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming (2017). Working with a broad partnership of scientists and researchers worldwide,

the group sought out the best solutions to climate change, developed detailed climate and financial models and put these solutions through a rigorous threestage review. They were also able to describe their beneficial financial, social and environmental impact over the next thirty years. The best solutions are featured in the book and its website. In Drawdown, Hawken notes that the solutions are already available to us, and “almost all of the solutions lead to regenerative economic outcomes that create security, produce jobs, improve health, save money, facilitate mobility,

eliminate hunger, prevent pollution, restore soil, clean rivers and more.” His work has empowered many to take meaningful action that reduces greenhouse gases while benefiting society in multiple ways. Paul Hawken is an environmentalist, entrepreneur, journalist, and author. At the age of 20, Hawken dedicated his life to sustainability and changing the relationship between business and the environment. Throughout the years, his practice and education has included starting and running

Reading books can change lives By Jessica Covitz Contributing Writer @JessicaCovitz Have you ever read something and realized that it relates to you personally or your community? Books are a great way to help you understand yourself more and your world better. Sometimes by reading a book, you may develop a new perspective on an existing problem or issue in your life or community. Thanks to the wide variety of book genres, it’s simple to ﬁnd a book for anyone to enjoy. There are books made for pure entertainment, knowledge, guidance and more. The world of literature is forever ongoing. The most common use of books is for entertainment. For some, reading a book is more enjoyable than watching the movie and, most of the time, the book is better than the movie. Reading for entertainment helps move your mind to another alternate reality where anything is possible. “For me, reading a book can take me to a whole different place. Reading a good book, especially one with a powerful message, can remind me that life is short and sweet, and to enjoy every single moment. It allows me to put myself in the characters shoes and

feel what they’re feeling, or experience what they’re experiencing, and that can and should be applied to real life,” FGCU student, Alissa Kane, said. Readers tend to choose books that are in the category of their interests. What we don’t think about is how similar the drama or excitement in the book is to our actual lives. Whether it’s about a romance, a friendship or a moral dilemma we are all faced with issues in these subjects at some point in our lives. Although reading about these topics is much easier than dealing with them, reading about them can help you cope with any issues you have in real life in a more successful way. For example, if you’re reading a book about two best friends who get in a ﬁght over a boy, it can teach you to never let a crush get in between your friendship. “After reading a book about self-love, I realized how I don’t love myself enough. This issue had been dawning on my friendships and my relationship at the time which is not what I wanted. The book helped me realize that I am amazing no matter what and that you cannot love anything else until you love yourself. That opened my eyes to a whole new light,” FGCU

student, Katie P., said. This type of reading can help you understand how you work as a person and how you deal with certain scenarios. It can bring out many qualities that you never saw in yourself, good and bad. Another common use for books is to gain knowledge. Anything you could possibly want to learn more about is most likely in a book somewhere. From learning how to cook, to marketing for dummies, you can pretty much succeed in many things. By doing so, you can learn more about yourself as a person and what interests you enjoy learning about. You may also read a book, learn something, and realize you’re good at it. Books regarding specific subjects usually are better help to people who are trying to learn. For example, someone who wants to know more about flowers can easily find a book about species of flowers. “My whole family fishes but I am not that great at it, so I actually looked up a book about good fishing tips and it actually really helped me,” FGCU student, Kevin W., said. Books can encourage you to participate more in the community as well. If you discover that you really enjoy reading and learning

Guidance is another big factor that reading books can help. Life guidance can be tips on getting

through depression, how to become more productive, pregnancy books, etc. Many people don’t feel comfortable reaching out for guidance or going to talk to someone about their issues so they turn to books for help.

Books are full of information that can really take you anywhere. They can help you with any issue, concern or craving. They are easily accessible and inexpensive. Reading books can open you up to a new world and a new you.

Anti-vaccination movement built on false premise By Karina Cashman Contributing Writer @_silvrtng_ink_ Diseases thought to be all but eradicated have made a sudden but unfortunate comeback thanks to a popularized movement bolstered primarily by fear, misconception, and a lack of education. The anti-vaccine movement garners attention primarily from the belief that vaccines can be linked to autism – despite multiple credible sources claiming otherwise. This belief stems from a 1998 paper published by Andrew Wakefield, who assumed there was a correlation between the recent growth of autism at the time and the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine which could impact 90% of children. Wakefield made this assumption without thorough researching both vaccinated and unvaccinated children, so in the end this study was retracted and deemed fraudulent due to a lack of research as well as misrepresented data. A second study was done by Wakefield on the measles virus, but further data indicated many corners were cut and that bias was pres-

ent in the study. Overall, Wakefield’s research is disregarded today due to procedural errors, undisclosed financial conflicts of interest and ethical violations. Multiple sources, including the NRVS, the CDC, Autism Speaks, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and others all claim vaccines do not cause autism. Endless studies have appeared over the years backing up this data. Still though, the supporters of this anti-vaccination movement remain adamant that vaccines do cause autism, and more than that, they would rather leave their children unprotected. In cases surrounding this movement, parents would choose to keep their child unvaccinated despite the risk it poses to themselves and others. Not only would the unvaccinated children be negatively affected, but those in society with compromised immune systems or immunodeficiency disorders are at greater risk of contracting diseases, even if they have already been vaccinated. Still, those who refuse to vaccinate often argue that even when they don’t, their kids don’t get sick.

This may be due to levels of high vaccination in the area. If the majority of the population is vaccinated, the disease can be contained, but the more people who support this movement, the more society is put at risk. Many diseases that have been eradicated, nearly eradicated or constrained into a weaker version of what it once was due to vaccinations are making a comeback, particularly where the anti-vaccination movement is taking off. Now let’s consider for a moment what all of this means. Even though it has been widely proven that vaccines do not cause autism, let’s pretend for a moment that they do. The supporters of this movement would rather have a dead child than an autistic one. Parents are willing to gamble the lives of both their children and others simply so that their kids don’t risk getting autism. This means that the dislike and fear for autistic people goes so deep that many would rather their children be put in early graves. The root problem of this movement lies in ig-

Photo via AP Newsroom The immune system of a newborn baby is incredibly fragile, which is why children are vaccinated over the course of their childhood, rather than all at once. norance, fear, hatred and a lack of education and acceptance. The anti-vaccination movement is one that would prefer America to run into the ground and an early grave rather than look at credible sources.

It is a movement that would rather leave a dead child than a special needs one, one that is negatively impacting far more lives than simply those of the unvaccinated children. What are supporters of the anti-vaccination

movement truly saying with their stance? That a dead child is better than an autistic one? The thought is revolting, insulting and unthinkable. If you don’t agree, then you may be a part of the problem.

Don’t tread on my bagel emoji By Sean Porter Media Editor @lunchtime58 Three things are sure in life: death, taxes and emoji updates. The gun emoji was changed to a water gun and that had many people upset. Some, like myself, were pretend-angry about the issue. I mean, how would I quote Migos lyrics without the gun emoji? How is a water gun supposed to convey the same feelings? However, some people were actually upset about the change. With mass shootings leading to tightened gun restrictions across the country, many people were upset that Unicode, the people who

make emojis, changed the gun emoji. This is something that shouldn’t really have any impact on your daily life. But it does. It does because the bagel emoji is the hill I will die on. With a new update, cream cheese was added to my favorite breakfast food to “improve” it. But instead, they ruined it. Bagels should only be eaten in one way. Not cut, not toasted and nothing on it. You bite into it like an apple. Get your peanut butter, cream cheese and smoked salmon away from my breakfast heaven. A petition was created to add bagels to the emoji encyclopedia, and cream

cheese was included by the crowd of millennials who are passionate about their brunch items. This petition, however, marginalized a large group of people, including myself. The lactose intolerant community, which I am a proud member of, is completely forgotten when cream cheese is added. Sure, I enjoy ice cream and pizza every now and then. But I have to suffer for it. It makes my tummy hurt, and that’s a high price to pay. But to automatically assume I want cream cheese on my bagel? That’s just laughable and offensive. Make it right, Unicode. Take off the cream cheese.

FGCU swimming is changing for the better By Emily Kois Managing Editor @EmilyKois Any transition can be challenging for a student athlete. Coming from a new school or a new country can prove its difficulties, but for FGCU swimmers Wiktoria Czarnecka and Emily Glinecke, the transition has been favorable. Both athletes are rookies to the swim and dive team at FGCU but have quickly inputted themselves as strong members of the dominant group. Often times onlookers and fans see the surface of student athletes, not realizing their day to day activities. More so, some don’t understand that the sports they decided to completely change their lives for is the thing that has been the most constant in their life since a young age. This is true for Emily Glinecke, who previously swam at Arizona State University for two seasons. Now, Glinecke enters her first season with the Eagles and hopes to continue her already successful collegiate career. “I started swimming when I was five, so it’s been 15 years,” said Emily Glinecke. “I think I kind of felt like swimming was a part of me. I couldn’t imagine not swimming and I have more goals that I want to reach so I wanted to do four more years at the collegiate level.” Glinecke also shared how she hopes that her

swimming doesn’t stop after her four years at the college level. “I want to make the Olympic trials for 2020 and then hopefully go to Olympic trials if I make it,” said Glinecke. She also explains how she has goals for the team this season, including “being part of a team and sharing the goal of a team to win a conference championship.” For freshman swimmer Wiktoria Czarnecka, the passion for swimming also came at the young age of six. However, unlike Glinecke she remains open to whatever happens in her swimming career; whether that’s going

professional or doing something with her degree. Yet, both swimmers understand that the professional level is deﬁnitely the biggest transition of them all. “You have to be really fast,” said Glinecke. “A lot of professional swimmers don’t make enough money, and it’s hard to transition. A lot of people quit their college team because they can’t do both and for a lot of people it doesn’t work out.” Since both swimmers started at such a young age, one would think that each of the athletes would have professionals they’ve looked up to throughout

their career. This is true for Glinecke, however Czarnecka felt the opposite saying that she never had an athlete she looked up to. “I was coached by Misty Hyman,” said Glinecke. “She went to the Olympics and won a gold medal in the 200 ﬂy. She was my coach my freshman year at ASU and I can say she was my inspiration to keep swimming and to keep working hard.” With one swimmer being from Poland and the other coming from across the nation, these athletes must have felt extremely conﬁdent when choosing FGCU. Competing at the

top level and being the host team for past Olympic swimmers – Evita Leter and Lani Cabrera – FGCU would seem appealing to most swimmers wanting to elevate their skills. “For me, my brother went to FAU and stayed in the United States and he really wanted me to come here so he said, ‘You’re a swimmer and FGCU has a very good swim team, so we can look to see if they’re interested in you’”, said Czarnecka. “It’s amazing; I’m very grateful to be here.” Glinecke had no family-ties to FGCU and was more so focused on the luxuries of the campus and the overall

improvement she was promised after talking to head coach Dave Rollins. “First I saw pictures of the school online and I said, ‘There’s no way; this school is this nice,’ but I talked to Dave (the head coach) on the phone and he just sounded like he was really focused on improving the swimmers and not just in the pool but also in the classroom,” said Glinecke. “Then on my trip here I saw it was actually as beautiful as it was in the pictures and everyone was really nice and welcoming.” Even though both

Daniele Serrano reaches for the ball at an early home game. Serrano, who earned her second Defensive Player of the Week award this Monday, tied the volleyball program’s Division-I record for most Defensive Player of the Week awards earned.

Defensive Player of the Week award, Serrano ties FGCU’s record for the most in program history. Most recently, Serrano finished with 11 kills in the Eagles win over Stetson. This is just one shy of her season-high of 12. After her performance over the past week,

Serrano now places second in the program’s Division-I era in solo blocks, with 45, assisted blocks, with 250, and total blocks, with 295. With her current stats, she is on track to become the all-time leader in block assists and total blocks by the end of this season. “Dani’s attention to the

small details of blocking have really paid off this season,” Botsford said. “She is doing a phenomenal job for us impacting the game both offensively and defensively. That kind of growth is what you hope for as a coach – the development of a complete game.”

If her pattern of strong play continues, Axner may be on track to beat UNF’s Gabby O’Connell for the most Freshman of the Week titles in ASUN Conference history. “Dana just continues to impress with her consistency and competitiveness,” FGCU head coach Matt Botsford said. “And as good as she has been, she knows there are areas she needs to continue to develop. That desire to continually improve is what makes her so much fun to work with and is why she is having so much success this early in her career.” With her second

The growing diversity of FGCU Athletics By Jordyn Matez Sports Editor @JMatez2 One of the various unique qualities FGCU possesses is the campus’s diversity. According the most recent survey of FGCU students conducted by FGCU, 32% of the 1,071 students surveyed answered that they identified as a race other than caucasian. 14.23% of students identified as hispanic and 7.74% identified as africanamerican, while 4.78% prefered not to respond and 5.74% listed other races. This diversity is exemplified through various student organizations such as various multicultural clubs on campus, the Multicultural Greek Council and specific associations on campus for various races and ethnicities. Aside from RSO’s, FGCU’s diverse student population is seen through FGCU athletics. FGCU’s athletics program is currently home to 54 international students that span over 15 athletics teams. FGCU’s 260+ studentathletes hailed from 31 states and 29 various countries, with about half of all student athletes coming from outside the state of Florida. “Being a part of the AIDC is so important to me because it means being able to speak on the importance of inclusion and diversity within our athletic department,” FGCU

volleyball/beach volleyball student-athlete Amanda Carroll said. “All of us Eagles are diverse individuals that make up one family and our differences make us stronger. Being able to represent our studentathletes and their interests on the basis of inclusion and diversity is something I am truly passionate about because an increase in diversity means more opportunities and different experiences for our studentathletes.” Men’s soccer represents FGCU as the most diverse sports program, with 14 of the 34 team members hailing from outside of the United States.

SPOR TS >> From B1 athletes are grateful for the opportunity to attend and swim at such a high collegiate level, transitioning still was a struggle; specifically, for Czarnecka. “I’m from Poland and came here for college but I still live in Poland,” said Czarnecka. “It’s hard (the transition), I miss my family. But, it’s also very fun to be here – it’s totally different. It’s a lot more fun (swimming in America). The whole team orientation, it’s like ‘we have to win something together’ – it’s not individual. There is a lot of team stuff and team bonding.” Glinecke also had the same thoughts when comparing her

experience thus far at FGCU versus her time at ASU. “I feel like here our team is a lot closer than any other team I’ve experienced being on,” said Glinecke. “We all have goals and we all want to uplift each other to reach those goals.” Both athletes explained how they had similar experiences transitioning to Fort Myers. Both mentioning that it was tough, but also extremely easy because of how welcoming the team and students were to them. “It’s definitely not easy, but they’re so welcoming and friendly so it’s really not hard to make friends,” said Czarnecka. “It’s just all the classes and everything and

sometimes for me it’s language so it’s hard, but it’s really fun.” Glinecke agreed with Czarnecka as she too has made longtime friends with her teammates in such a short period of time. “It’s easy to make friends with everyone and no one is standoffish because everyone wants to be friends since that will help push us to go faster,” said Glinecke. “I think the transition for me has been easier because I’ve already done two years of college, but everyone’s really welcoming.” Despite the strong team dynamic, both athletes still face personal challenges with their skills. Like any sport, these ups and

downs come with the territory. Theatre major, Czarnecka, explains that she faces challenges on a daily basis, but understands it comes with the sport. “Too many. Swimming is so hard,” said Czarnecka. “Sometimes it’s devastating but there are ups and downs, but you just have to keep going. I had a rough year in swimming. I was swimming slow and then I pushed through and it got better and better.” Glinecke explains that throughout her swimming career there were many trials, but since coming to FGCU is hasn’t been as difficult. “I’ve had a lot of coaching changes over the past four years,” said Glinecke. “Even in high

school, I had a coaching change my senior year of high school and last year and the year before and I didn’t swim well last year. Transitioning to a whole new school wasn’t really hard, but making new friends was. So, when I made the decision to transfer I had to realize that I had to do that all over again. But, it hasn’t been difficult here at all.” Even though both have promising swimming careers ahead of them at FGCU, both athletes will still rely on their degree. Czarnecka is more understanding of change, while the health major Glinecke has a set plan for her future. “I think this is my plan right now: to go to grad school for nutrition then possibly become a nutritionist,”

said Glinecke. “I think because I’m an athlete I focus a lot on what I eat, and I know that how I eat affects how I perform so I’ve gotten into that and taken a couple courses on nutrition. They don’t have nutrition as a major here, so I picked FGCU to finish out my swimming career and then be able to expand on my career later.” Many times, change can be good. For FGCU swimmers Glinecke and Czarnecka, both have overcome many challenges and transitions throughout their collegiate career. However, overcoming these challenges and stepping out of their comfort zone would not have shaped the swimmers they are today.

New FGCU club for history fans begins By Trinia Oliver Assistant E&L Editor @fgcueaglenews If you’re into things like period dramas, fans of watching the History Channel, Discovery, or PBS TV specials, there is a place where you can discuss, debate, and learn of identical subjects from others who have the same or similar interests at History Club. FGCU’s History Club was brought to life in Spring 2018 by a now-alumni. Luckily, since the student’s leave, the club has been kept alive by its five officers and co-founders who are the current officers. This past Wednesday was a one its first meetings for this semester. The goal of the club is “[to be] a fun place for people who like history or are interested in history, to learn about the history program, or even to learn about opportunities that students have that you may not be aware of— you don’t even have to be a History major,” Brett McFarlane, an FGCU sophomore, said. His degree is focused on the

1800s to 1920s Floridian history and he is the club’s secretary. Because all the officers are history majors, they are very proficient in writing and are open to critic and provide help for papers. “With a major as small as [the history program] and how integrated we are with each other and how regular you might have the same professors, it helps to have this sort of close-knit community here,” Laurel Weng, a senior with a focus in Latin American history and the club’s treasurer, said. “We all help each other and support each other, and we all look out for each other as we make the step towards higher education or into the career field.” The club wasn’t intended to be directly aimed at history majors, but to anyone who has an interest in history. ”What we do is a mix of academic and fun stuff,” Samantha Paxton, senior and club VP whose focus is on world history and serial killers. “We’re very lax, and we’re one big family. And we give out free food. And we have memes,”

Emma, Ramseyer, club president and FGCU junior focused on Victorian-era fashion, particularly prostitution. There is deserving praise for the club and officers for it being a new club, and they already have a calendar planned with events— it has a casual and welcoming atmosphere, its members are effortlessly jovial, made lighthearted jokes at each other, and the thoughtful activities arranged for the club members made this club a fun and worthy experience. Since History Club is new, the room is not packed and they’re still hoping to recruit members. If you’re looking for a fun ending to your Wednesday evening, or just hoping for a place to hang out with laidback people, this club is a great option. History Club posts its meeting dates and locations on Eagle Link. They can also be contacted via email linked on their page on the website. Their next planned big events are: hosting a film for next week’s Native American film festivals, and a club movie night with free food this November.

Ella Mai’s new album confirms her blossoming talent By Jannard Jackson Staff Writer @fgcueaglenews Ella Mai, British singer-singwriter known for her sleeper hit “Boo’d Up” released her eponymous 16-track debut LP on Friday, October 12. The album chronicles the ups and downs of a complex relationship. The first song is “Emotions,” a vocal interlude, where Mai shows the extent of her range and definitely confirms her ability as an artist. On the track “Good and Bad” Mai shows her seductive side and her ability to intrigue. This track has to be one of my personal favorites from album. It’s catchy and automatically got me hooked. The production on the track “Dangerous” is attractive as Mai delves into the risk of moving forward into a relationship. It echoes elements of hip-hop soul. Meanwhile, “Sauce” is a nice song it’s kind of playful and conversational, which makes the track so much fun to listen to. “Whatchamacalit,” which features Chris Brown, is a decent collaboration. It’s catchy, but it’s not the album’s strongest. Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP “Shot Clock” is a ‘dope’ track and really Ella Mai arrives at the American Music Awards on Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2018, at the Microsoft showcases why Mai and DJ Mustard have Theater in Los Angeles.

such amazing producer-singer chemistry. The track also shows her assertiveness. “Own It” is the sexiest track on the album. It samples Adina Howard’s “T-shirt and Panties,” the sample fits perfectly. “Gut Feeling” is an amazing song with newcomer H.E.R., and the instrumentation is perfect. H.E.R’s voice balances Mai’s perfectly. It’s the best collaboration on the album. “Boo’d” and “Trip,” however, are definitely the hits of the album. No matter how many times they’re played, those tracks will always stand out in their uniqueness. Nevertheless, “Close” appealed to me the most. It was a track that transports and reminisces of 1990s R&B. “Run My Mouth” continues with that hip-hop soul sound. The album also features ballads like “Easy,” “Everything” and “Naked,” but they didn’t stand out to me as much as the other tracks. As the album concludes, it comes together as an acrostic poem. The songstress spells her name through the vocal interludes in and around the album, cementing her artistic identity. This album has a nostalgic R&B sound, yet it’s contemporary. Without a doubt, Ella Mai’s debut is a start to a great career. It’s a solid R&B album, possibly the best since SZA’s Ctrl.

Online dating do’s and dont’s Dear Kennedi, So I’ve been talking to this guy on tinder for a couple days now and I really like him! He’s been trying to ask me out on an actual date but I’m just really nervous about it because I’ve never met up with a guy I met online… What should I do? Signed, Marissa P.

Dear Marissa, Online dating can be extremely stressful, there’s so much to think about like saying the right thing or making sure you’re not getting catﬁshed (yes sadly this still happens in 2018). The main thing you should worry about is safety! So i’ll give you a few tips to make sure you have a great time and also keep yourself safe.

ACROSS 1 Anatomical bags or pouches 5 Public mover 8 “How ya’ doin’?” 11 Harp from the backseat 14 Names 18 Orchestra woodwind 19 Octopus’s release 20 Travel term 22 Beastly thing of stories 23 Seriously detailed one 26 Happy and appreciative 27 Discerning 28 In ___ of amazement (shocked) 29 It helps settle disputes 31 In ___ (toned) 32 Tubular covering 33 Abhorrence 34 ___ de mer (seasickness) 36 Knockout count 37 Cake maker’s moneymaker 38 U-turn from against 41 Prayer wheel user 44 Normandy event 46 Work the runway 50 Like some seats and tennis shorts 52 Get-up-and-go 54 Be a rival 55 Be a siren 56 “I’m sorry, but ...” in texts 58 Earth, in sci-fi 60 Stuffed dollar bills? 61 Earthly representation 62 Deli offering 64 Hayes and Newton 66 Class for numbers people

Make sure you’re not being catﬁshed: Try to at least have a conversation over the phone or on video chat to ensure the person you’re texting is the same one you’re gonna meet. Like I said you’d really be surprised with how many people get tricked by fake proﬁles these days… it’s kind of disturbing. Share your location:

70 Set the retail price 72 Pretentious 73 Hindu mentor 77 Arm or leg 78 Cockpit array 81 It’s Big in California 82 Sounded, as a huge bell 83 High mountain 84 A presidential nickname 85 Swiftly get in front 87 Poughkeepsie college 91 Supportive words for pros? 94 “Goodness gracious!” 95 All the volumes as one 96 Places with docks 98 Fox sitcom with Charles Dutton 100 IRS form no. 102 Muzzles 105 Sources of infant tummy problems 108 Clearly not suitable 113 Lofty perch 114 Godzilla creator Tomoyuki 115 Idolizes 116 Chancel cross 117 Part of a sleep study 120 Green Gables girl 121 Bishop’s jurisdiction 122 Wind dir., sometimes 123 Words with “extra cost” 124 Pre-Easter egg handler 125 Indian address 126 Home with mud on the floor 127 “___ the land of the free ...” 128 Kind of sleeper or thinker

Let people know where you’ll be and when, share your location with your friends, siblings, and basically anybody you know that will swoop in to save you if things go south! This is really simple and can come in super clutch if they turn out to be a creep. Meet at a neutral location: You’d be surprised how many people think it’s

okay to go to a strangers house on the ﬁrst date, but this is totally not okay.. I mean unless you’re actively trying to get kidnapped. There are plenty of places you guys can meet up like the movies, a mall, even a public park where you’ll be more likely to be safe. Please don’t go to a strangers house, no matter how cute his dog is!!!

Bring a friend: Okay, this one might seem kind of childish I know we left group dates in middle school but you never know it could help you to feel more comfortable. They don’t have to be sitting between y’all in the booth or anything, but just having someone you know at the same location could give you some peace of mind. Maybe ask them to

bring a friend as well and really take it back to those group date days! Trust me, the only person that would have a problem with you wanting to be safe is a crazy axe murderer so using these tips shouldn’t be an issue if he’s a nice, normal guy! Good luck, Kennedi
