You know it. I know it. It's a common topic of discussion amongst girls. There's nothing really good about them except the fact that it's telling you that you're not pregnant. Shouldn't we be rewarded rather than punished, though? Here are nine of at least ten million reasons why periods are just the WORST.

1.The obvious: you are bleeding for at least three days straight. Sometimes seven. Sometimes fourteen.

Is that not just the best thing ever- looking down and seeing blood everywhere?

2. Biologically, your hormones are telling your body that you are pregnant.

We’ll revisit this in the next few points.

3. You want to eat everything in site because you’re never full.


And it’s not like it’s carrots you’re craving. No. It’s cookies. And ice cream. And fries. Because your body thinks you have another person it has to feed inside of you.

4. And because of this, you get fatter. Like, you actually put on weight.

Because your hormones say that instead of burning the calories, hold on to them because you need to bulk up to sustain the life that is(not) in your uterus.

5. You look like you did in middle school because your skin suddenly hates you and breaks out.

Yay, hormones.

6.You’re crabby af.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate that whole “oh, she must be on her period she so saltyyyy” stuff. But like, it’s true. I’m a different person when I’m on my period.

7. Oh, and the pain.

Boys, imagine someone took your large intestine, wrapped it around your bladder, squeezed, and then jabbed knives into it repeatedly. For a week. And then you peed out blood and other gunk. Even when you weren’t peeing it out, you actually were.

8.You can’t really wear light colored clothes, tight pants, dresses, or skirts.

You’ll either see the blood or the outline of the pad. Plus you’re super bloated so you is NOT lookin cute.

9. It’s heckin expensive.

You’ve got the pain meds for your uterus, the Advil for your headache, the pads, the tampons, the deodorant, the multiple pairs of underwear, the soap; shall I go on?

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.

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.
