10 Things Every Girl Can Relate to When It's 'That' Time of The Month

In This Article:

We all know what cramps mean, it means that your period just started and you are about to endure some pretty awful symptoms for the next five to seven days. Guys just don't understand why you are craving a bunch of weird things and that you are happy one second and then crying over something the next. They will never understand the struggle we go through just because we aren't pregnant! Honestly its a cliche but we should not be punished with our period because we didn't get pregnant, we should just get a pat on the back and a good job. But every girl understands that it sucks!!!

1. Unjustified Anger

Giphy

Little things just set you off, you get mad and all you wanna do is just punch someone in the face. No matter how minuscule the issue it just sets you off and there is nothing you can do but get angry and be in a pissed off mood.

2. Feeling so drained of energy

Giphy

No matter how much you sleep when you get up in the morning all you wanna do is go back to bed. Always feeling so drowsy and not being able to do anything about it.

3. Crying for no logical reason

Giphy

If its just watching a commercial about a puppy, or being yelled at by your parents, the tears just start to flow and there is nothing you can do about it. Even if you are sad you just feel like crying, and you just can't understand why.

4. Craving everything under the sun

Giphy

Whether its pizza, or sushi, or a steak. There is something about this week that has you wanting so many different things and being hungry all the time! And if you don't get to satisfy those cravings it is gonna be a horrible week.

5. Not wanting to go out into public.

Giphy

Just feeling at your worst and you have to put on clothes and go out into the world. When all you want to do is just lay in a big T-shirt and not have to leave your bed. And be able to just lounge around.

6. Not being prepared

Giphy

Ohh that lovely time when it just happens to show up out of nowhere and you don't have a pad or a tampon on you. Now you are stressed and hoping that your mom or friends have one or the public restroom has one of those dispensers because if not you are gonna have to go buy one or go all the way home to get one. Because no one wants to deal with that mess.

7. BLOATING !!

Giphy

We have all been there, its one of the awful symptoms of having your period. Feeling like a ballon and not being able to fix it. I hate that feeling so much, it just makes you feel kinda gross.

8. Making sure you don't wear any of your favorite clothes.

Giphy

Its the saddest thing when one of your favorite pair of jeans gets stained or that romper you love so much. Because that stain probably isn't gonna come out. Lost a lot of good clothes from this week over the years, ohh and don't get me started on all the underwear that gets ruined. Its so sad.

9. CRAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Giphy

We all know what happens when these hit: your world basically feels like its coming crashing down. The pain sometimes is just unimaginable, it's intense.

10. But when those seven days are over, its celebration time (just until next month though).

Giphy

Finally no more feeling run down or crappy, you can now go back to living life not feeling like your dying. It's time to celebrate, try to forget that it's coming back in a month.

It sucks, it causes a lot of problems and seriously awkward situations. But its the price we pay for not being pregnant. Which is honestly are really messed up situation. Being a woman is a lot of work. Ohhh, periods, you suck!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
