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.

I would hope anyone who has graduated college and law school would be mature enough not to think much of it, you included.

Good luck with your exam! I'm sure on the day your belongings will be the least of your worries :) I don't know how long the exam is for but if you wear a pad you shouldn't need to change it while you're there. You could get ones designed for night time so they're extra long and absorbent. It would save you carrying spares. Either way I'm sure you'll ace the exam and wonder why you were so worried about a minor detail!
