It's six weeks after frosh week...do you know where your period is?

I probably should have done a pre-frosh week blog. One that explains how to stay safe when out, how to drink safely, where to go if the night goes rotten...and so on. But I did not. Here is my reactive, not proactive frosh week comment.

The reality is that frosh week brings out the heathen in everyone. New students feel like adults and are often free from parents so they have no rules. The old students that still do frosh week parties drink big and try to walk around like everyone should look up to them.

The results are all the same. Unprotected drunken sex in a bathroom somewhere.

Up to 50% of guys who have chlamydia show no symptoms. Up to 70% of girls who have chlamydia show no symptoms. Use a Condom. And if you didn't, get tested.

So here we are almost 6 weeks later. Chlamydia and its buddy Gonorrhoea are living the chilled life of an STI. Getting around town...leaking their offspring during other washroom meet ups.Young ladies running scared, wondering if their last period was before or after Labour Day.

Just take a test folks....I cannot stress it enough. If you had a freaky frosh week, just assume you have something and hope you don`t. Better know than to pass on the drips!
