Memoirs

Ding-dong, the witch is... alive and well, actually.

That time of the month already?


The struggle is real, and it certainly isn't pitch perfect. On the bright side, there's a good chance you've synced up with at least one of your girlfriends. Whether you have a cycle buddy or not, we've all been there, so either way you don't have to suffer alone.

Ladies and... well, ladies, I give you: your period, as told by Fat Amy.


1. The initial realization it's that time means you've accepted your fate.


2. Then, the first cramp hits.


And so begins the constant discomfort.

3. Every once in a while, a big one hits.


The next 20 seconds of your life are officially ruined.

4. You've come to terms with the permanent state of bloat.


5. ...and that you're probably not going to lose those 5 pounds.

Maybe next week.

6. Exercise just isn't going to happen.



7. ...especially after you see a bag of chips.


No matter how hard your friends try to keep you in check, they've been there and can't help but let you binge.

8. Then again, forgetting a tampon will get those steps in.


9. The jealously is real when your best friend isn't on hers.


10. ...but your whacked-out emotions have you feeling bad soon after.


They should be prepared for the strange apologies and emotional praise.

11. You're seriously ready for Mother Nature to run her course elsewhere.


Eviction notice has been posted.

12. Don't even get me started on boys.


They just don't get it.

13. While it may be a pain, at least you're driven to be honest.


Aunt Flow may be destroying your front, but she does have your back.

14. "Are you on your period or something?"


Yes, yes I am, but that doesn't mean you get to use it against me.

15. Soon, the violent tendencies fade and you settle for simple promises.


That little voice of reason will tell you it's not worth it; it's the estrogen talking.

16. Actually, he is pretty cute.


17. Who are you kidding, you have needs, too.


18. How is it possible to feel like a bad-ass when you're literally shedding body parts?


Who cares? Embrace it.

19. You survived yet another week of uterine warfare.

20. 'Til next month, Mother Nature.


You should be proud.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
