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, 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.

Perhaps you are not mature enough to be a lawyer if this bothers you. Get some pocket size tampons and grow up.

I understand why you'd feel embarrassed, but there's really no reason to. Personally, I don't think anyone taking a BAR exam is going to be even remotely immature, and even if they were, it's not like it's an unnatural happening. And I also think that it's not just going to be that time of the month for you in the exam. Surely, there will be other girls in the same boat. But anyway, good luck :)

And this is why you should just use a diva cup.

Are you 12? You're going to be a lawyer (maybe). Grow up

It can be embarrassing to have everyone around you know that you're on your period, even if you know none of them will care. I think it's completely understandable.

Also, the bar exam is NOT the world. Stop being so self centered

Wow you're a miserable piece of work. You can't dictate how people should and should not feel about things.

I don't think you should take the Bar exam if something this small will embarass you. As a lawyer you have to do a lot of weird and potentially embarassing things and have to be fearless in them.

Everyone calm down!!! It's perfectly normal to be embarrased by that. It has nothing to do with the profession she's aiming for.

Put the tampons and pads in a little porch and put that in the clear plastic bag. Good luck!

Most guys that are mature do not care when a girl is on their period. Girls shouldn't care, it is just a natural part of every girl's life

What's with everyone telling OP to grow up? It's completely normal to be embarrassed by your period.

I'm not embarrassed that I have breasts either since it's a natural part of life for most women. Granted it's a fairly private thing, but it's not like she's carrying a bulk sized box of tampons around. It's just a couple in a bag with other things that most of her peers are probably not inspecting.

Yes I agree that no one is really going to care about the fact that OP is on her period, and I'm not particularly embarrassed by my period either, but surely it's understandable why OP feels a little embarrassed? Periods are nothing new and they're just a part of life that we have to deal with but I don't think it's fair to say that OP is immature and needs to grow up.
