Review On Birth Control: Nexplanon
nexplanon

Birth control is a must in practicing safe sex, however most people only know of condoms and the pill. I have tried condobefore, but they are not super effective as they can fall of very easily. I have heard many stories about the pill and how you have to remember take it at the same time everyday and if not you can become pregnant.

I decided to go a different route and try Nexplanon, a birth control insert that goes in your arm. Now I have been on it for a year. I decided to get this type of birth because of all the benefits.

1. It is over 90% effective.

2. It lasts 4 years.

3. Once it comes out you can pregnant very easily.

Comparing this to the pill which

1. 91% effective

2. Take it everyday

3. Hard to get pregnant when you stop.

The Nexplanon insert to me just seemed like a better route. Sadly it does come with side effects. Some girls never get their periods using this, however I get my periods more often than usual. Some months I will have my period twice or just random bleeding.

It does suck because you never know when you will have it. But I would rather have my periods more knowing that there is a very little chance of me getting pregnant.

I have friends on the Nexplanon and they barely get their period. Everybody has different side effects, so yours could be very different from mine. Besides for my period I really have not experienced anything else.

Once I got it into my arm, a big bruise will occur, but it only last for a couple of days. And once your 4 years of the implant is finished, you can get it taken out and get a new one put in the same day.

I am in love with the implant. I feel like the Nexplanon implants is one of the best birth control options out there, but sadly it is just not known as well. Hopefully this gives you a new perspective on this type of birth control.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
