Getting Comprehensive Reproductive Care At Kenyon: A How-To Guide
You’re waiting in the Health Center, standing next to somebody you’re friends with/ had a class with/ maybe hooked up with, scanning down the ‘confidential’ sign-in sheet for a familiar face. Many of you reading this have been there before: it’s the (probable HIPPA violation) STD clinic.

I am Stupid, but the Health Center is Not

Needless to say, it was not one of my finest moments, but it happened, and I didn’t think much of it. I got to school and classes started, and things were great until my period was a day late.

I would not sleep well until I knew I was zygote and disease free, so I went to the health center as soon as I could.
