20 Stages Of A Period Every Girl Experiences
InsideHigherEd

Every month women go through a week of hell when our uterus has a Texas Chainsaw Massacre going on down there. I say this in the nicest way possible, but it is gross. When I say "gross," I mean we are wonderfully disgusting. To accurately describe what women go through, these 20 images should paint the picture for you. Let's find humor in our tragedy ladies!

1. Pre-period cramps are the start of it

These are such a tease.

2. Some of us get our periods early

I wasn't prepared for this! Now I have to change my outfit and go to the store and buy tampons!

3. Some of us get it late

Always ready to jump to conclusions, even after only being late by one day.

4. And some of us get it on time

#blessed

5. Then you actually get your period

Fair warning, stay away!

6. And you become an emotional wreck

One second you're happy and then you're sad.

7. And then you become angry about everything

Uh oh...

8. Then you consume everything in sight

And you are happy again... but not for long.

9. And become so bloated

Me: I'm not that bloated Inner Me: You're fatter than a cow

10. And nothing fits

*Wears same two pairs of sweats and leggings all week*

11. And you have to avoid whites and bright colored clothes

All black everything or nothing.

12. And you can't get comfortable at night

Cranky B alert!

13. There's always a risk of staining your underwear

You got this girl. Legs closed tight together and waddle your way to the bathroom.

14. And don't even get me started on your mortal enemy: sneezing

Damn it! Not again!

15. But don't forget about your pimples

They're the worst. They spawn on your face, chest, and even down under. Ugh.

16. At the end of the week, sometimes we think our periods are over

It's too good to be true.

17. And then...

They're not.

18. When they finally end, we couldn't be happier

Happy dance your butt off!

19. Sometimes people get lucky and their period ends before an important event

This never happens for me...

20. And then there are people who barely experience any of these symptoms...

Screw you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
