I had a really bad day today and called a few friends for advice. So recently I've been having issues with flies. My mom saw one fly in my apartment and there was three in my apartment and I killed two idk what happened to the third one. I used to make my parents get the flies back at home so I'm proud of myself for getting two flies on my own.
Dealing with all those flies don't help but the thing I'm more freaked out about is the homeless guy that has been camping out on my stoop making it really hard for me to get to my apartment since he spreads out. The first time he came around was at 9:00 pm when I was out with friends, I got so freaked out I asked my friend's friend to come to my door to walk me in, then today at 3:30 after my orientation for school I asked the landlord people at my campus apartment to come walk me into the door. If he was sitting near my apartment then that would be cool, but he blocks my path and I noticed that when the campus apartments person came to walk me to my door, he thanked him for moving and I noticed him turn to look at me which creeped me out. I noticed the other day when my friend's friend came to walk me home he was mumbling something and tried to talk to me.
My family didn't pack any tape for me and I need tape to help me label my cooking supplies so I wouldn't have my stuff mixed up with someone else's stuff so I got stressed out about that.
I got so uncomfortable by everything that has been going on that I almost cried to my parents saying I wanted to go home.
What can I do about the homeless guy spread out on my stoop? I want my apartment to feel safe, so far my parents suggested I called campus security since they can escort me 24/7 and since they help any college students in the Philly area regardless if they go to UPenn or not I should use their services. I can't be living like this where I'm afraid to get out of my apartment out of fear that guy is back. I have a Thursday class from 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm and I need to be sure that I'm safe and especially since there are on campus events I need to go to also.

I would recommend taking to the owner of your apartment surely if they're spreading out so much that you can't get in, they must be on private property and I'm sure they could get them to leave. Also telling the owner would be important cuz having homeless people usually lowers the value of the apartment.
if you're able to just keep a small pocket knife on you just in case or pepper spray.
I'm sorry you been haveing such a crappy day I hope you feel better <3
Thank you so much and yeah it was rough. I cried to one of my friends and so far I've been documenting when that same homeless guy campus out and spreads out to my apartment. I had my cooking utensil backpack and all my stuff and it was so heavy but I didn't care I just needed to talk to my landlord and tell him what's happening and basically he was like yeah that happens in Philadelphia and talked about calling him whenever I feel unsafe. I feel especially uneasy during night classes or going to campus events at night.
Thankfully my family is coming back on Saturday to bring my other spices and food items with me and my friend who haven't seen in 18 years is coming to see me for a few days on September 4th so hopefully they can make me feel better. I think also bringing pepper spray might help too just in case.
