This fall I am going off to college and I was wondering about my birth control. I am currently on Yaz as my birth control method. I am Yaz for its other effects(I had horrible PMS and was prescribed Yaz for this reason). I was hoping to use a birth control method that does the same thing (make me not crazy when I PMS) but less intensive (I do not want to have to worry about birth control pills everyday). Are there any good options for me?

This is actually something to talk to your doctor about. There are a lot of hormonal birth control methods out there that are not the pill, but your doctor has your whole health history and would have a better idea of what would work for you specifically. If you want to get an idea of what's available though, our Birth Control Bingo piece is a good place to start.
