Every single thought you have when your period is exactly one day and 13 hours late

‘Guess I need to start planning my pregnancy shoot’

There's nothing scarier than living an entire day you were supposed to be bleeding out of one of your assorted holes completely normally, going to bed hoping to wake up covered in your own uterus walls, then realizing at 6 am before a full day of work that your period is fucking late.

I'm like, 8000 percent sure being late on your period by literally just one day induces a stress greater than the stress endured by most emergency room doctors. Your mind starts racing trying to figure out where tf you went wrong with your birth control or HOW you're going to support a baby with a Sephora addiction, no knowledge of vegetables to speak of, and a lack of sugar daddy prospects.

Here's every thought you've had while you're literally a day late on your period.

'Ok, ok, ok, I like really need to do the math on the last time I had sex'

I’m one day late on my period. I’m never late. Also, before y’all jump into conclusions, I can’t be pregnant because between the last time I did the nasty and now i’ve had my period for 2 times already

'God definitely put Jesus in me'

In 5th grade my period was a day late so I brought my mom into my room while crying to reveal that I was the next Virgin Mary.

Lasses get so paranoid when their period is late.

'But how will I afford my abortion??? GoFundMe?'

My birth control consistently makes me 10 days late for my period, but without fail, on the 6th day, I’m over here looking at my finances to budget for an abortion. ?

The rules of 2019 have already been decided and there’s nothing we can do about it

People are already mad

by Caroline Phinney

I feel kind of bad for 2019 because people are already mad at it and it hasn't even started. It's like when you get with someone following a breakup and you're already assuming they're cheating on and lying to you, because why would anyone ever be genuine? How can you blame us though? Even if…

An Instagram influencer told us how to travel the world for free (or at least cheap AF)

Fine, I’m the Instagram influencer

by Nian Hu

So everyone's always asking me how I'm able to afford all of my many, many glamorous vacations to exotic destinations like Thailand and Greece. The answer, of course, is that I'm chronically broke and I literally wear the same three shirts over and over again. Now there's a solid money-saving hack! But another part of…
