Paint The Town Red

Once a month mother nature decides to send their crazy Aunt Flow to town.

Paint The Town Red

As a women, there are many things in life I enjoy having; like wearing leggings without judgement, having boobs (I know they are annoying, but for me having boobs (small boobs) isn't the worst thing in the word), and having many different colors of nail polish. Now, before all of the gender equality people come in, I understand that men can have these things, as well and so can trans men and trans women. Essentially all people can experience these individual things that I have listed.....but, only a natural born woman can have shark week or in more medical terms....a menstrual period.

Getting your period is a blessing and a curse at the same time. First you know that you are not pregnant (which in my case is a lovely reminder, but this may not be the same for everyone) and second this is nature's way of reminding myself and other women why we hate our vagina and uterus. I don't know about any one else, but I don't need to bleed once a month to know that I am a woman.....

From the cramping, constant bleeding from the downstairs apparatus, and the insane hormonal shifts (I can't speak for anyone, but myself), this time of the month is just awful! Why were woman designed to bleed once a month, if not more? Personally, I would have preferred a text message, email, or phone call saying, "Hey Boo, you're not pregnant! Have a fabulous week and you look beautiful!" See, how nice does that sound? No cramping, bleeding, or pain. Just a fabulous you rock message from mother nature! That sounds like a fantastic alternative to what happens now! So, mother nature do me a solid and try the technology side of things and maybe just text us this up coming month? I look forward to the switch. Or, I will go from nice to bitch in ten seconds.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
