Why You Should Get The Daith Piercing If You Struggle With Migraines

For years I have struggled with chronic migraines. I went to the eye doctor, I went to my regular doctor, I had tons of tests run on me and they simply said that nothing was wrong with me. But I did not believe them, because I had migraines that would last for two or three days at a time. I would feel sick and not want to eat, I would get angry, I would just want to lay in bed and do nothing and hope it would go away. To most of the time being woken up the next day with the migraine still there. It was awful.

For a long time I thought it was my fault. I would go an entire day and realize I had not eaten at all, and think oh this is where this migraine is from. I would struggle with anxiety and just think that was a part of having anxiety. So, I took it upon myself to change some of these things to see if that helped. I made a meal schedule and stuck to it. I ate three meals a day, with snacks in between if I was feeling hungry. No change. I started studying two weeks before my tests to try and help calm my anxiety and make it easer on myself. No change. I finally realized that it was not anything that I was doing right or wrong, I just struggled from migraines.

I was on Facebook one day scrolling through my news feed when I came across an article. It talked about this piercing that could help cure migraines and anxiety. A win-win situation for me! I jokingly sent it to my Fiancé, and he responded back that I go and get it done. I took me about two weeks to work up the courage to finally go and do it and he gave me no other option but to get it done.

I sucked it up and took the pain of all of 30 seconds (seriously so quick, and so easy), and it has been life changing. I was skeptical at first, but I had read hundreds of reviews before going to get it done about how much help it had been to so many people so I figured why not me.

Going from having migraines that lasted two to three days, to almost a month now migraine free has made a huge difference in my life. I seriously did not expect this, but I am so glad I jokingly said I should get the piercing. I have been in much better moods, have enjoyed doing more things where I used to just curl up in bed and not want to do anything.

If you have migraines and have tired everything, I highly suggest getting this piercing. I seriously hope that if you read my story and you do get it, that it is as big as a success as it was to me!

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?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
