9 Reasons Why Periods Are The Worst

You know it. I know it. It's a common topic of discussion amongst girls. There's nothing really good about them except the fact that it's telling you that you're not pregnant. Shouldn't we be rewarded rather than punished, though? Here are nine of at least ten million reasons why periods are just the WORST.

1.The obvious: you are bleeding for at least three days straight. Sometimes seven. Sometimes fourteen.

Is that not just the best thing ever- looking down and seeing blood everywhere?

2. Biologically, your hormones are telling your body that you are pregnant.

We’ll revisit this in the next few points.

3. You want to eat everything in site because you’re never full.


And it’s not like it’s carrots you’re craving. No. It’s cookies. And ice cream. And fries. Because your body thinks you have another person it has to feed inside of you.

4. And because of this, you get fatter. Like, you actually put on weight.

Because your hormones say that instead of burning the calories, hold on to them because you need to bulk up to sustain the life that is(not) in your uterus.

5. You look like you did in middle school because your skin suddenly hates you and breaks out.

Yay, hormones.

6.You’re crabby af.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate that whole “oh, she must be on her period she so saltyyyy” stuff. But like, it’s true. I’m a different person when I’m on my period.

7. Oh, and the pain.

Boys, imagine someone took your large intestine, wrapped it around your bladder, squeezed, and then jabbed knives into it repeatedly. For a week. And then you peed out blood and other gunk. Even when you weren’t peeing it out, you actually were.

8.You can’t really wear light colored clothes, tight pants, dresses, or skirts.

You’ll either see the blood or the outline of the pad. Plus you’re super bloated so you is NOT lookin cute.

9. It’s heckin expensive.

You’ve got the pain meds for your uterus, the Advil for your headache, the pads, the tampons, the deodorant, the multiple pairs of underwear, the soap; shall I go on?

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
