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

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, it's the last day of finals week. Unfortunately the only test I've passed this week is the pregnancy test I took during my lunch break in a Subway bathroom. FML
Today, I found out that on Wednesday, when I have 2 exams, I'm called to testify in court. If I go to court, I cannot make the exams. If I take the exams, I'll be held in contempt and arrested. FML
Today, I can't attend an interview for a great job because I have an exam. An exam I need to pass in order to have a great job like the one I'm missing the interview for. FML
Today, after 3 years of unemployment and 6 months of hard studying, I found out I hadn't actually registered myself for the public service exam that will happen later this month and could finally get me a job. 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
Today, I got my period. 10 minutes into a 3 hour exam. Apparently they are serious when they say you may not leave the room under any circumstances. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, I had to take an oral examination. I made it to the last part of the exam, then violently threw up in the middle of my answer. 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.

For some people it's really embarrassing. For me I prefer people not knowing. It's not something most people share. and I meant to thumbs down this not up

I still get embarrassed when I have to buy tampons at the store it makes me feel self concise and I'm a mom of a two year old and a 3 month old.

well that can be embarrassing. but if anybody gives you dirty looks, make light of the situation

I don't see why anyone would care enough to give her a dirty look, I understand being embarrassed by it, I usually am, but truthfully no one mature enough, especially to take the BAR exams, will care.

Why is this an FML? Welcome to being a woman.

Exactly. Why is it embarrassing to do what almost every other woman does. Me personally I don't care, just like everyone poops. Get over it.

Don't worry about it too much! Worrying about people seeing your period gear is just one of those spotlight effect things. You feel like everyone's watching and laughing, but (assuming everyone is mature) they really don't care that much. Hope you do well!

Put it in a bag? Like a little one

OP says she is going to put it in a bag and it has to be clear. A lot of bar exams are administered in government buildings; the clear bags are for security reasons.

I'm not sure how a bad exam works but couldn't you being things and leave them in the car? I mean, I could be wrong but you can't leave in the middle of a bar exam anyway can you?
yerawizardlizzy 27
I don't think you can. You can't during standardized testing in high school... Don't think this would be any different.

#62 - any test or exam i have sat throughout high school and uni has allowed toilet breaks. just not within the first and last half hour for uni, & first and last 15 minutes at high school. guess some places just have stricter rules.

Toilet runs are supervised and once you've left the building, you cannot re-enter it. However, the last thing you want to do during any law exam is take a break because you have far too much to write in very little time.

167, I meant leaving the room before supervised bathroom breaks.

That's not such a bad thing, what if you had it on the day of the exam? In the exam room?

Fair point!

I don't think anyone will notice or care. They will all be stressed about passing the Bar as well. Btw for the person who didn't know in order to practice law in any state you have to pass the bar for that state. Very few states have reciprocity

I'm assuming you're in your mid-20s. That means that you've had your period for about 10 years now. Why aren't you over this by now? All of the people there will be too worried about passing their exam to care that some chick is on her period.

Find out if it's okay to carry a change purse or something if that nature? Surely you should be allowed a wallet in the bag.
