8 Thoughts Every Girl Has While On Her Period, Every Single Month

Instagram

It is general knowledge that girls get their periods once a month (if you didn’t know this, you’re either too young or didn’t pay attention in biology). What is not so popularly known is the battle this couple of days represent in every girl’s life. Some of us have it harder than others. For example, I completely envy my roommate because her struggle is a level 4 — on a 1-10 scale — while mine is a level 9.

Girls, I hope this list will help you find consolation and teach you that you are not alone. And boy readers, be thankful you don’t have to deal with these things every month.

1. Perfect timing! (sarcasm is mandatory)

Spring break starts tomorrow? You’ll get your period today. You’re going on a road trip? Period! Are you wearing white jeans? Period! Are you planning on spending the day at the pool with a cute boy? Period!

2. I might as well die

Some of us deal with a lot of pain. Death can’t be much more painful. It's the 21^st century, someone invent a pill to get rid of this ASAP. Where are my engineers? Come up with a pill for those of us who are 100% sure don’t want kids. Help us get rid of the suffering a couple of decades before. (Just an idea though.)

3. Am I really crying because of this?

Cute puppy? You start crying because it’s too cute. The sun is shining? You start crying because it’s too bright. You saw a T.V. commercial? You start crying just because.

4. OMG am I leaking?!

Yes, this might be TMI, but this is in our brain 24/7 during those days. Tampons and pads are not 100% trustworthy. They fail us every once in a while, and we hate it.

5. Why do I have to deal with this but my boyfriend doesn’t?

We know it’s nature, but it’s still unfair.

6. Don’t talk to me. Don’t look at me.

Once again, we might cry. Or just yell at you, we never know.

7. How many days until I’m done with this struggle?

You start counting the days until your cycle is done. I personally do this as soon as I get it. And then again on the second day. And on the third one.

8. Where’s the chocolate? And the ice cream? And the chips?

Food, food, food, food.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
