How I did it: My school has a blood drive every year and last year I wanted to donate, but couldn't.  Today was the blood drive, and I did it.  I was really nervous about the needle because it is so big, but it's not that bad, I just couldn't think about it. The finger prick didn't really hurt because it was so cold in the room that by the time I had it done, my fingertips were almost frozen.

Lessons & tips: Drink a lot before hand.  I had 3 water bottles this morning and i did it at lunch.  My veins were pretty big and it didn't hurt very much.
