P.M.S. – every girl’s ultimate frenemy! The moment the thought, ‘Woohoo! I’m not pregnant!’ passes, the symptoms begin. Everyone PMSes differently – some girls float through with a swing in their step, not a care in the world, while others will literally hunt you down if you so much as breathe too loudly near them! Here’s how girls react when PMSing! How many of these do you relate to?!
