Why Do We Have Periods? An Introverted Rant 🥴

Let’s get real, ladies. Why on earth do we have to deal with this monthly nightmare? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Periods are the ultimate inconvenience, and they feel like they were designed to test our patience. Heavy bleeding, cramps, back pain, sore boobs, and let’s not even get started on those pesky blood clots that feel like a tsunami—seriously, what did we do to deserve this? 🌊

As if that wasn’t enough, there’s the lovely side effect of feeling nauseous, dizzy, and utterly drained. 😩 You’d think we’d be given some sort of break from this torture, especially when so many women aren’t even in the market for kids! It’s like our bodies are stuck on a cruel loop of “surprise, it’s your period!” just when we thought we could enjoy life. 😒

And don’t even get me started on those dreaded period poops! 💩 It’s like our bodies decide that along with the cramps and bloating, we also need to experience the most uncomfortable bathroom visits of our lives. Why must everything feel so gross and violated when we’re already dealing with so much? 😩

Then there’s the fun phenomenon of being in sync with our sisters or friends. It’s like some cosmic joke that we all have to endure this madness together. 🌀 One minute you’re feeling miserable, and the next, you find out your best friend is in the exact same boat! It’s comforting and frustrating at the same time—like, why can’t we all just have our periods at different times and avoid the collective suffering? 🙄

And let’s not forget about the discomfort that comes with it. Between cramping and the occasional awkward fart (why, body, why? 🤦🏾‍♀️), it feels like we’re trapped in a constant state of ugh. If men had to experience this for just one month, they’d probably change the world! 🌍 It’s frustrating that people who have no clue about our struggles are the ones making laws about our bodies.

Despite all of this, I’m grateful for the times when I can enjoy life without this monthly nuisance. Like when I traveled to Greece and didn’t have to worry about my period ruining the fun! 🙌🏾 That was a breath of fresh air—an actual vacation from the chaos that is menstruation.

So here’s my plea: let’s take a collective stand and say enough is enough! Ladies, we deserve to live our lives without this unnecessary hassle. Periods? No thanks! ✋🏾

P.S. My back is hurting, I’m cramping, drained, and nauseated, and on top of that, it’s October, and it’s beautiful outside with warm weather, but I’m stuck in the house with my hot tea 🫖, laying around doing homework because I just don’t feel well. Thanks so much, period!

Missing You, Mark: Life Just Isn’t the Same Without You

It’s hard to put into words how much I miss my best friend, Mark Williams Jr. 💔 He would’ve turned 36 on October 9, and it feels strange celebrating his birthday in Greece without him here. We met when I was 14, and from that moment on, we were inseparable—literally attached at the hip. I used to call him my “gentle giant” because that’s exactly who he was. We both were a little awkward, a little shy, but somehow we just clicked. He made everything easier, and we understood each other’s quirks in a way nobody else could. Mark was the first of us to get his driver’s license. We used to laugh about how neither of us ever really had a relationship, mostly because he was so shy around girls. I wasn’t much better, to be honest. But those things never mattered because we always had each other. As we got older, life started getting in the way, and adult responsibilities pulled us in different directions. Still, I cherished every text, every corny joke, and every silly story about his string ...

Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey

  Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey New Jersey, a state we usually associate with urban life, shorelines, and lush parks, has been hit with an unexpected and dangerous crisis. Wildfires have broken out across the state, with major incidents reported in both urban and natural areas. This is not something we're used to seeing here, but it’s become a reality we can no longer ignore. In West Milford’s Jennings Creek, a massive wildfire has already scorched over 3,000 acres, threatening nearby homes, structures, and closing down local roads. The blaze is only 10% contained, and firefighters are working tirelessly to prevent further spread. But this isn't just limited to rural areas—there's been another blaze closer to more populated regions. As smoky air fills neighborhoods, it’s becoming more evident that wildfires don’t only happen "somewhere else." The origin of the fire in West Milford has reportedly been linked to human activity, with one person alleged...

Diary of a Chaotic Day: Math, Figma, Funky Classmates, and a Walmart Surprise

lol this ai pic is so funny 😂  Late Post: Written on November 14, 2024 Today was… something, to say the least. It all started with a brutal math quiz 🧮 ➗ that, for some reason, my professor thought could be done in 20 minutes—without a calculator. Seriously? Twenty minutes to solve problems like: • p² + 11p + 30 = (p + 5)(p + 6) • b² + 8b + 15 = (b + 3)(b + 5) • 36 - 25t² = (6 - 5t)(6 + 5t) These aren’t your basic addition problems—factorizing on paper is a whole other struggle! Tackling them without any kind of help was impossible 🤯. Math class feels like my personal downfall, but I’m powering through as best as I can 💪🏾. After surviving that, I treated myself to some Green Day coffee ☕ and mini tacos 🌮 with a kick! The coffee was heaven—Green Day’s got a way of summing things up with  “American Idiot”  and how we’re living in  “Troubled Times.” Then I went to the library to work… or at least tried to. I ended up people-watching 👀, sipping my coffee, and star...
