Period Cravings, As Told By Kevin Malone

"Mini-cupcakes? As in the mini version of regular cupcakes? Which is already a mini version of cake? Honestly, where does it end with you people?" - Kevin Malone

Period Cravings, As Told By Kevin Malone

1. Getting out of a warm, cuddly bed surrounded by fluffy pillows is a joke when period cramps hit.

The only thing that can console you through the pain is food. Anything with carbs in it is a recipe for perfection.


2. Cookies! Brownies! Homemade desserts!

You've had so many you've lost count. You're like a vacuum that only sucks up desserts, and people have definitely taken notice.


3. Cooking dinner yourself is not even questioned while you are sitting on the couch, snuggled up in your pjs and watching TV.

Cravings hit hard, but what do you want? Mexican, Chinese, Italian? By the time you actually decide what you want and it gets delivered to your front door, you're starved. Inhaling the food is second nature. But you were so exited about eating the steaming food that you ended up demolishing it by accident. Forget about Instagraming that picture of the mouth-watering pizza that you just ordered.


4. On a girls night, your friends surround you at the kitchen, breaking into the ice cream, chocolate, and other sweets.

Your dire need for chocolate is quite evident, as you race to the front of the line, grabbing spoonfuls of ice-cream and topping it with handfuls of sweets. "Are you even going to eat all of that?" your friends ask. "Are you doubting my abilities?" you bite back.


5. Every bite of chocolate tastes better than the last.

Must everybody know that you are eating the best chocolate bar ever? Yes. They must know.


6. You're eating a small snack while preparing your larger snack.

And while you are eating the small snack, you are already looking up recipes on Pinterest for the next snack that you are going to have.


7. Vegetables. Disgusting.

Let's face it, the only thing green that you have been eating are those green M & M's and the mint flavored ice cream. People around you actually feel disgusted by how much junk you have eaten in the past couple days. They force you to get some sort of substance into your body. And it is awful, every single second of it.


8. And then they are like "You are on a healthy streak, you can't possibly go back to eating more sweets."

"Think of the delicious veggies that you just ate!" But who the freak cares? This is my body and it is going through lot of pain, and I am losing a lot of blood. I am shedding the lining of my uterus for God's sake. Let me eat this damn cupcake.

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.
