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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
