It’s unfortunate that an article has to be written about this. Of the 6500 and more students at Vanier College, just about half of them are females who menstruate on a monthly basis. Newsflash: menstruation, for most females, is unavoidable. Meaning, we bleed whether we like it or not. Our flows vary, the duration of our periods vary, and the pain we experience vary. This brings us to the question: WHERE ARE THE PADS? If not pads… WHERE ARE THE TAMPONS? Vanier College provides condoms for free but period products…

We were all once Vanier outsiders, simply awaiting to become Insiders on that fateful day: Registration. I felt as if taking that one step would finally make me a Cheetah, a part of something bigger than myself. However, when I eventually opened my laptop and began my course choices, I realized that I felt even more of an outsider. I had no idea how it worked: which classes I could or should take, what a course code was, what difference there was between majors and programs, etc. Starting college brings…
