So doctors finally came through and said menstrual cramps are as painful as heart attacks. I would like all of my gym teachers who said that cramps aren't painful to listen up and hear me when I say, "TOLD YOU!" Yeah, we actually can't do those sit-ups because our uterine wall is shedding blood or whatnot. I'd honestly rather take a bath in hot lava then have menstrual cramps.

Yeah, and about 50 other things I'd rather do/have:

1. Swine flu.

2. That creepy guy from Tinder taking me out on a date.

3. To be standing next to Donald Trump.

4. My favorite coffee place run out of coffee.

How dare they?!

5. Have to sit through "Mean Girls 2" on repeat for 48 hours.

6. Take a bath in hot lava.

7. Then again, I'd also walk across burning coal.

8. Get a pap smear every week all year.

9. Lose my phone.

10. Have braces for the rest of my life.

11. Start paying insurance at 21-years-old.

12. Be Kim Kardashian's personal assistant for a day.

13. Discuss politics, religion, and education with my family.

14. Take an exam without studying.

15. Drink the unknown jungle juice at a frat party. Seriously, what's in it? Boys?

16. Fight Chuck Norris.

17. Go to the gym after eating a quesadilla.

18. Go on "The Bachelor."

19. Eat a brick.

20. Double text the guy who just texted you back.

21. Double tap those pictures on Instagram of your ex's new girlfriend.

22. Follow your ex's new girlfriend on Instagram.

23. Be a DD for a fraternity party.

24. Have all my Tinder matches in one bar.

25. Be stuck in a cage with a white tiger.

26. Have a hobo lick peanut butter off my feet.

27. Drink Pepsi.

28. Eat jalapenos without any liquid near me.

29. Go out into the snow with only a bathing suit.

30. Have my grandmother pick my formals date.

31. My dad reply to my Tinder messages.

32. Only eat kale for the rest of my life.

33. Get dumped on "The Bachelor."

34. Come up with 100 items for a listicle.

35. Study microbiology when I'm a Comm major.

36. Be stuck in a room for several hours alone with Bill Clinton.

37. Fight a dragon.

38. Be stuck in a tower for twenty years (not to be dramatic).

39. Be BFFs with Krystal from "The Bachelor."

40. Eat Dominos.

41. Seriously consider gender reassignment surgery...

42. ... but then also consider all the trouble you'd have to go through.

43. Sit in a 3-hour discussion with Ted Mosby about architecture.

44. Fight against The Avengers.

45. Give up Netflix.

46. Have Chris Harrison narrate my period.

47. Watch Rebecca Black's music video on repeat.

48. Live in a constant state of filth for the rest of my life.

49. Have my phone be at 3% forever.

50. Go on the Nexplanon or IUD so you don't get your period.

These are serious things I'd rather do/have then get menstrual cramps, but there is something I'll take cramps over ANY DAY. And that is a baby. Sorry, I'm in college and I can barely afford to take care of myself let alone a child. Maybe ten years. Mother Nature can keep coming once a month.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
