Now, usually I completely disregard any information I get at the health center on the grounds of either A) I have heard that every year since I first took sex ed in 7th grade, or B) Those 'doctors' are full of ish.

As we all know from our high school sex ed classes–and some of you from experience– it’s a basic fact...
We watch America's Next Top Model (and all subsequent marathons) for 3 reasons: 1. The crazy chicks. 2. The crazy judges. 3. Nigel Barker.
After reading about one CollegeCandy writer’s scary STD experience, I realized that I had not been tested in over 4...
