Welcome to college, the best time in life to put your parts on other people’s parts (consensually!) and then never see them again (unless you want to!). Hot! Even hotter: Doing it without getting stuck with a baby you made with some “cool” “freethinker” whose “art” you really “liked.”
If you’re a person who might become pregnant and your parents never took you to the “I want birth control” appointment, don’t put it off. Try your campus health center, or pretty much any standard primary care doctor can help you with this. But if you’re feeling nervous talking about it, seek out Planned Parenthood. They’re nonjudgmental and inexpensive, and they’ll answer all the questions you’re too embarrassed to ask your friends.
