In six months, half the people I know will be graduating from college. This has inevitably spurred a thousand conversations about post-college life, like jobs, new places, how we will ever survive without each other, etc. But we've also been talking about having "the talk" with our significant others, or our friends' having "the talk." At this point, so many of us have been dating the same person for so long, or we have only recently broken up with our long-term lover. Some people are quite excited (or at least pretend to be) about the chance of being with someone else, or just being with someone else. And I can't think of a better time for us all to refresh our knowledge of sexual health!

After being in a safe space for years, doing everything with the same partner, I'm guessing that my friends and lots of college seniors will be trying to remember what their boundaries are. Even though we think we "know" it all after our years in college, graduating seniors should take a moment to review contraception and STI testing information... because most of my friends don't have "having a baby" as part of their post-grad plan.
