I wasnt really all that enthused when I signed up, I thought "cool, free condoms!", probably like lots of others. But the more looking around I did on this website, and just from some experiences with friends, I was really enthused when I heard I got chosen as a SafeSite. Like many college students, I know how much of a struggle money is, and when you list out whats important, condoms usually isnt one of them. But sex happens, and when it does, we dont have those condoms. I dont want someone to have to  make that decision. One of my friends, whom Ive unfortuately had to cut off contact with, had huge problems regarding safe sex. She, at the age of 19 (20 in Dec), has been pregnant three times. Unfortunately the first two times were miscarraiges, and the last one had to be aborted due to it being a tubal pregnancy. All three pregnancies with different guys. It killed me to see her make these mistakes over and over again, having sex with people she shouldnt, most of the time being too wasted to know what she was doing. Most of my girlfriends, including me, have had at least one pregnancy scare. Its the scariest feeling in the world. My first and foremost goal is to stop someone to have to go through what my former friend went through. And after thinking about all this, is when I came up with my slogan for this campaign, BE CAREFREE NOT CARELESS!!

I cannot wait to recieve my shipment! Im already making up flyers, recruting friends, and coming up with a strategy to get the word out there!!!
