You’re either going to LOVE or HATE what I’m about to say…but I have to say it.
Â
There’s a college in Pennsylvania that is selling Plan B aka the morning after pill in a vending machine for $25. NOW IT’S NOT NEXT TO THE COKE MACHINE…it’s in the Health Center. (Ok, it may be next to a coke machine but you get my point. It’s in the health center not the quad or the gym…I’ll be honest though, I wouldn’t be mad if it WAS there.)
Â
People are in an uproar because they think the emergency contraceptive is to easily accessible.
Â
TOO EASILY ACCESSIBLE? It should be easily accessible!
Â
The school did a survey amongst the students and found out that most felt “embarrassed†to pick up the pill from  a doctor or in a pharmacy. I’ll be completely honest, I’ve bought the Plan B pill before. I didn’t go to the doctor but to the lovely CVS (I also picked up a gossip magazine, smart water, and mascara on that trip) and I did feel a little judged. The funny part is I don’t think the girl really was judging me…I just felt uncomfortable picking it up (which is ironic because I have NO problem grabbing my BC pills every month…but it’s a different stigma attached to Plan B.) I walked in thinking, “Yep. I’m the girl that needs to pick up the no baby pill post relations. Just put them in the bag and let me leave.â€
Â
Maybe the condom broke, maybe you ran out of pills and your appointment with the gyno is next week and you weren’t able to reorder yet, maybe you got a little drunk and didn’t remember if you used a condom or not. WHATEVER the reason…it’s a hell of a lot more responsible to get the morning after pill than to play the “Fingers Crossed & Pray†game and hope that next month everything is good.
Â
PLAN B VENDING MACHINES FOR EVERYONE! (and at the low price of $25??? I paid $50 for mine)

On a lighter note…Look at this cute picture of Trace (my 3 legged cat)
