25 Reasons Why Periods Suck
1. You constantly feel like you have to pee, when in reality, YOU DON’T.
2. You are forced to choose between sticking a foam thingamajig up “there,” or walking around with a diaper for a week.
3. You crave the most random, irrational foods. For example, I alway crave plain tortilla chips and chocolate milkshakes. Together.
4. You feel crippling cramps at the most unconvient times. Mine usually happen when I’m in the middle of a flight of stairs at school.
5. You are especially irritated at people for basically no reason at all.
6. You must bid farewell to your favorite pair of skinny jeans for a week.
7. Ditto any shoes with a heel.
8. And skirts and dresses.
9. You occasionally think that you’re done so you don’t wear a “product,” and then you get an unpleasant surprise a few hours later…
10. After you’ve been sitting down for a while and then stand up, you feel like the freakin’ Niagra Falls is rushing from “there.”
11. Sleep never comes easy, unless of course you’re trying to stay awake.
12. You’re terribly combative, especially when somebody asks you why you’re so on edge.
13. Tumblr is your best friend. (Wait a second, what’s new there?)
14. If you’re not eating or sleeping, it’s pretty safe to bet that you’re miserable. (Again, what’s new?)
15. You suddenly loathe any member of the male population, just because they’ll never have to experience what you are going through.
16. You want to hit people. In the face. With a shovel.
17. You feel like everyone is staring at your butt, so you walk in a really strange fashion.
18. Your dog is the only one that understands you. (WHAT IS NEW?)
19. You feel like you have been stabbed with a knife 297485919012 times in “that” area.
20. You cry at stupid things. For example, sometimes I cry when my mom tells me that I can’t have a milkshake.
21. When a teacher tells you that you simply can’t go to the bathroom, you want to get all up in her face and scream, “LOOK! I’M ON MY FREAKIN’ PERIOD, OKAY?!”
22. You get fuming-angry when people ask you if you’re on your period.
23. You feel like dressing like a bum for a week.
24. Sometimes it chooses to come early, so you were NOT expecting it all…if you know what I mean…
Okay, so here’s a really funny period story…
A few weeks ago, I was on my period, and my back was killing me. “Urgghhhh!” I groaned, to know one in particular. "I’m hungry. My back hurts.“
Then, a guy asked, "What does your back hurting have anything to do with being hungry?"
To which I responded, "Errm, well the thoughts weren’t exactly related…”
He still seemed pretty confused, so my friend Nicole butted in and said, “She meant: I’m hungry, PERIOD, my back hurts!”
…I freaked out. And then I realized the double meaning of the word “period.”
