Today, three days before I take my bar exam, the biggest exam of my life, I got my monthly. And I get to bring my belongings in a clear plastic bag so the world knows. FML

Today, I took an exam, for which I have been studying for weeks, I was confident at first, but then really struggled with it. I finished with about ten minutes to spare, turned to what I thought would be the end of my paper and found the first page of questions I was supposed to have answered. FML
Today, I took an exam in order to apply for a graduate program I want to get into. Last night, my boyfriend decided it was a good time to break up with me out of the blue. I broke down three times in the middle of the test, and I just barely failed it. FML
Today, I finished a 700-page book for my law exam. It was the wrong book. FML

It happens. Don't let it distract you from doing well on the BAR.

It's still embarrassing. I'm sure you wouldn't want someone to know you were on your period. Although it isn't new, it's still a personal matter.

its not that big of a deal and most men, especially those that are old enough to be judges/lawyers know women have monthly cycles and arent going to give you any questioning or disgusted looks. are you still embarassed when you have to go buy your supplies at the local store? if so then its time to grow up

It happens. Everyone that will be there will be grown men and women, not eight year olds. The whole world won't know, and half of the world wouldn't care anyway. All they care about is that you're not carrying in a weapon or a way to cheat. Also, your period should be almost over when you go in. Just put on an overnight pad and you should be good without needing extra.

If you're that bothered by it, use a menstrual cup, or get some little tampons and hide them in your pocket or bra. Good luck on the exams!

If you're crying about this, I would hate to see how quickly you'll crack during a court case.

Statistically 1 in every 4 women there will have the same issue. I feel for you that something so common and natural causes such distress. Life will only become more complicated and problems more real.

So the people you've been going to class with for how long can't see a few tampons in your bag but thousands of people on here get to know all about your period?
