Period talk, ladies. I’m here to vent about all the period problems and the worst parts of being a girl during your time of the month.

Next week you're supposed to get your period but somehow your mind tricks you into thinking you are getting it right at this exact moment? SIKE! Just your body messing with you. So you become self-conscious all week thinking people are staring at you and you randomly got your period but you don’t know. You finally get your period and you don’t have any pads or tampons in your bag. So you either have to wait and hope someone walks into the bathroom with one to save you or you have to figure something out to be able to go to the store or go home to get a pad or tampon. Nothing is more awkward than having to ask your friend, coworker, classmate or even a random person that is in the bathroom for some coverage. Now that you finally have it, you are constantly being self-conscious as to if you are bleeding through. You are checking your butt and having your friends check your butt to make sure there is no blood seeping through. You crave every and any food possible when you’re on your period making you want to get pickles and ice cream and pretzels all within the span of 20 minutes. You just want to lay in bed in your comfiest clothes, wrap up in a warm blanket and stuff your face. But also want to lay on your side curled up because your cramps are getting so bad.

But shout out to all the women who constantly deal with periods for once a month each year and also shout out to the women who always have each other's backs with having extra tampons or to hand out to those in need of them.

But to help those women who serve our country, you can donate toiletries to those who really need them. Check out Support Our Troops to be able to support the bad ass ladies in service. They are always in need of toiletries!!
