5 Steps to Fondling Success
Steve Browne & John Verkleir

As I awoke this morning to yet another text message and voicemail from Campus Safety, I can’t help but feel immensely saddened, confused, and, most of all, annoyed. Last night, in case you don’t get Campo alerts and/or live under a rock, yet another woman was sexually assaulted near DU's Campus. Since there seems to be some confusion regarding when it is and isn’t appropriate to fondle someone, learn these 5 steps and you’ll be a successfully, consensual fondler!

1. Understand the Term ‘Sexual Assault'

Before you can get to fondling, it’s important that you understand the term ‘sexual assault' now before you accidentally do sexually assault:

Sexual Assault (n): any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexualassault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape.

Forced fondling sucks and the Department of Justice agrees. Information, resources and other facts regarding sexual assault can be found here.

2. Understand the Term 'Consent'

“Consent is a voluntary, mutual agreement. It’s informed, sober, honest, clear and involves the word “yes” from each person involved. That means there’s discussion and clear communication,” (CAPE)

As someone who was an orientation leader, I highly suggest watching this video.

3. Get consent

“Hey, can I fondle you?” I said in a low voice.

“Hell yes!” Bae responded, cheerfully.

***DO NOT GET TO FONDLING IF THEY SAY NO ***

4. Understanding why someone does not want to be fondled

It doesn't matter why they don't want to be fondled, it's only important that you DON'T fondle them and DON'T pressure them into being fondled by you.

A person minding their own business, walking down the street late at night does not want to be fondled by you. A person wearing revealing clothing does not want to be fondled by you. An unconscious person does not want to be fondled by you. A drunk person cannot consent to being fondled by you therefore they do not want to be fondled by you. A person at C&G does not want to be fondled by you and neither does a person at the Border. A person at the party you’re attending does not want to be fondled by you. The person you’re sleeping with doesn’t even want to be fondled by you unless they say so.

5. Achieve Success!

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
