A Simple Solution To The Women’s Health Control Debate

Its fifth-period chemistry class and you're sitting next to your best friend. "pst do you have a tampon?" We have all been there, and we've all helped out. It's a simple gesture, and it goes a long way.

Women's health, in general, is not as simple as passing a tampon to your best friend. It has become a complicated issue with surrounding political debate. But sometimes you have to remove the complication.

So let's make this simple. These are some straight facts about a really great opportunity.

Birth Control. It is not just a pill that keeps a girl from getting pregnant. There is birth control for men and women. Here are two facts you should know.

1. It is easier to access male birth control than it is to access female birth control. Over 19 million women in the United States don't have good access to birth control. Viagra and condoms are available anywhere at any time.

2. Birth control isn't just to prevent pregnancy. It helps with all the symptoms that almost every girl suffers from, and it can help prevent ovarian cancer! It can prevent cancer!

So why are we making it so hard for women to be healthy? The answer to that question isn't easy. We are keeping this simple.

So how can we make it easier for women to be healthy? Much better, thank you for asking.

My friend just told me about this simple solution and I think it's something more people should be looking into. Simple Health is a telemedicine company that is using technology to deliver affordable and convenient care to those who need it. Right now they're getting ready to launch a life-changing new service: online birth control prescriptions and delivery.

You want simple? How about fair costs and convenience. Here is where you can sign up: signup.simplehealth.com.

And remember when you gave your best friend a tampon? Here's an even easier way to help out women. When you sign up, you can use your link to refer friends. For every sign-up, Simple Health will be donating birth control prescriptions to uninsured women. It's that simple.

With so many complications surrounding this issue, let's come together to support our sisters who want to be healthy. It's easier than giving your best friend a tampon.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
