10 Things Every Girl Can Relate to When It's 'That' Time of The Month

We all know what cramps mean, it means that your period just started and you are about to endure some pretty awful symptoms for the next five to seven days. Guys just don't understand why you are craving a bunch of weird things and that you are happy one second and then crying over something the next. They will never understand the struggle we go through just because we aren't pregnant! Honestly its a cliche but we should not be punished with our period because we didn't get pregnant, we should just get a pat on the back and a good job. But every girl understands that it sucks!!!

1. Unjustified Anger

Giphy

Little things just set you off, you get mad and all you wanna do is just punch someone in the face. No matter how minuscule the issue it just sets you off and there is nothing you can do but get angry and be in a pissed off mood.

2. Feeling so drained of energy

Giphy

No matter how much you sleep when you get up in the morning all you wanna do is go back to bed. Always feeling so drowsy and not being able to do anything about it.

3. Crying for no logical reason

Giphy

If its just watching a commercial about a puppy, or being yelled at by your parents, the tears just start to flow and there is nothing you can do about it. Even if you are sad you just feel like crying, and you just can't understand why.

4. Craving everything under the sun

Giphy

Whether its pizza, or sushi, or a steak. There is something about this week that has you wanting so many different things and being hungry all the time! And if you don't get to satisfy those cravings it is gonna be a horrible week.

5. Not wanting to go out into public.

Giphy

Just feeling at your worst and you have to put on clothes and go out into the world. When all you want to do is just lay in a big T-shirt and not have to leave your bed. And be able to just lounge around.

6. Not being prepared

Giphy

Ohh that lovely time when it just happens to show up out of nowhere and you don't have a pad or a tampon on you. Now you are stressed and hoping that your mom or friends have one or the public restroom has one of those dispensers because if not you are gonna have to go buy one or go all the way home to get one. Because no one wants to deal with that mess.

7. BLOATING !!

Giphy

We have all been there, its one of the awful symptoms of having your period. Feeling like a ballon and not being able to fix it. I hate that feeling so much, it just makes you feel kinda gross.

8. Making sure you don't wear any of your favorite clothes.

Giphy

Its the saddest thing when one of your favorite pair of jeans gets stained or that romper you love so much. Because that stain probably isn't gonna come out. Lost a lot of good clothes from this week over the years, ohh and don't get me started on all the underwear that gets ruined. Its so sad.

9. CRAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Giphy

We all know what happens when these hit: your world basically feels like its coming crashing down. The pain sometimes is just unimaginable, it's intense.

10. But when those seven days are over, its celebration time (just until next month though).

Giphy

Finally no more feeling run down or crappy, you can now go back to living life not feeling like your dying. It's time to celebrate, try to forget that it's coming back in a month.

It sucks, it causes a lot of problems and seriously awkward situations. But its the price we pay for not being pregnant. Which is honestly are really messed up situation. Being a woman is a lot of work. Ohhh, periods, you suck!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
