Apple Watch Goes With The Flow To Help Women Track Their Periods, And It's About Time

Tracking your period is about to become easier thanks to Apple's new watchOS, which was announced earlier this week. If you're a female who is asking every woman in the restroom for a tampon because you didn't know you were about to start, you no longer have to worry.

The app will not only track when your period is coming but the flow as well. You enter how heavy or how light it was. You can enter any abnormal symptoms, too.

While you might find this a little creepy, I'm loving the idea! I know I am super forgetful and when I go to the gyno and she asks about my last cycle, I often am left staring in confusion because I honestly don't know.

This isn't gonna just help you with the gyno, but help you monitor your cycles. This is going to help you figure out your heavy days, your worst day, and what symptoms you get on your period. This will help your gyno in diagnosing conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome or endometriosis.

The will also be helpful for family planning. Your watch will inform you of the days you're likely to be ovulating to make sure you're trying during those days. The update is everything women need.

As a woman who needs a little reminder every once in a while, I love what I've seen of watchOS so far and I'm excited to get my hands on it when it's released this fall.

Thank you, Apple, for looking out for women who need a little help keeping up with when a visitor will be arriving.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
