Period Cravings, As Told By Kevin Malone

"Mini-cupcakes? As in the mini version of regular cupcakes? Which is already a mini version of cake? Honestly, where does it end with you people?" - Kevin Malone

Period Cravings, As Told By Kevin Malone

1. Getting out of a warm, cuddly bed surrounded by fluffy pillows is a joke when period cramps hit.

The only thing that can console you through the pain is food. Anything with carbs in it is a recipe for perfection.


2. Cookies! Brownies! Homemade desserts!

You've had so many you've lost count. You're like a vacuum that only sucks up desserts, and people have definitely taken notice.


3. Cooking dinner yourself is not even questioned while you are sitting on the couch, snuggled up in your pjs and watching TV.

Cravings hit hard, but what do you want? Mexican, Chinese, Italian? By the time you actually decide what you want and it gets delivered to your front door, you're starved. Inhaling the food is second nature. But you were so exited about eating the steaming food that you ended up demolishing it by accident. Forget about Instagraming that picture of the mouth-watering pizza that you just ordered.


4. On a girls night, your friends surround you at the kitchen, breaking into the ice cream, chocolate, and other sweets.

Your dire need for chocolate is quite evident, as you race to the front of the line, grabbing spoonfuls of ice-cream and topping it with handfuls of sweets. "Are you even going to eat all of that?" your friends ask. "Are you doubting my abilities?" you bite back.


5. Every bite of chocolate tastes better than the last.

Must everybody know that you are eating the best chocolate bar ever? Yes. They must know.


6. You're eating a small snack while preparing your larger snack.

And while you are eating the small snack, you are already looking up recipes on Pinterest for the next snack that you are going to have.


7. Vegetables. Disgusting.

Let's face it, the only thing green that you have been eating are those green M & M's and the mint flavored ice cream. People around you actually feel disgusted by how much junk you have eaten in the past couple days. They force you to get some sort of substance into your body. And it is awful, every single second of it.


8. And then they are like "You are on a healthy streak, you can't possibly go back to eating more sweets."

"Think of the delicious veggies that you just ate!" But who the freak cares? This is my body and it is going through lot of pain, and I am losing a lot of blood. I am shedding the lining of my uterus for God's sake. Let me eat this damn cupcake.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
