Isis is really scary. They are causing all kinds of trouble in the Middle East, and seem to have come out of nowhere. The details are, like, really hard to understand; sometimes they're called Isis and sometimes ISIL...like, what? How could anyone keep that straight? In terms you can understand, ISIS is kind of like your period. You assume problems in the Middle East may arise, but you never really know when they are coming. They also tend to involve a lot of blood.
Another toughie: those mass protests in Hong Kong. There was some turmoil, but Hong Kong is really far away, so who knows. It's kind of like your period when you're on birth control. Like you know it's happening, but there are almost no harmful side effects. No cramps!
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court made a land mark decision which will affect the legality of gay marriage in many states and will be a step forward towards marriage equality. It was kind of like spotting days. Your period isn't quite over yet, kind of like how gay marriage isn't legal yet, but it is almost there. You probably only need a panty liner, especially if you aren't wearing white.
Midterm elections are also like your period, because very young people don't get them; also they are a total drag unless you can leave work early to deal with them.
Really the only thing left is Ebola... which is like the worst period, ever.
