Giving birth is a wondrous thing, but there are some symptoms that no one talks about. I'm here to set the record straight and tell you the TRUTH about progeny and it's many challenges. I'm also here to tell you about how it all is worth every once of pain, discomfort, and misery just to hold your baby in your arms for the first time.

1. The indicator is nausea and/or vomiting.

I’ve been pregnant three times now and its something that happens that quick you feel fine one day and then the next day you suddenly change.

2. Dreaming.

I didn’t believe it until I experienced it but while your pregnant you dream some of the most ridiculous dreams.

3. Names.

Picking out a name for your baby for the rest of its life can seem nearly impossible.

4. Your FEET!

Like vomiting, this is another one of those good one day and bad the next. Your feet seriously swell during pregnancy and once you are done being pregnant your a shoe size bigger.

5. Bathroom Problems.


Your baby will put so much pressure on your bladder that you will feel like you will explode every second of the day unless you run to that bathroom.

6. Hair.

Whoever said your baby will be born with a full head of hair if you have a lot of heartburn during pregnancy was waaaay off. Heartburn is yet another symptom of pregnancy and that's it.

7. The Nose Knows.

Getting sick in the beginning of pregnancy is normal and some part of it has to do with your sense of smell. While pregnant smells become much stronger, making women steer clear of certain foods.

8. Labor.

You might poop during labor if you have a vaginal birth and that's ok because it happens quite often.

Pregnancy can be ugly, but not for everyone. Everyone will experience different symptoms but regardless of that, the end result is always the best, which is...HAVING THE BABY!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
