This sounds like the type of discharge a women gets when she is ovulating. This is a completely normal discharge and probably will last a couple of days.
"Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from the ovary, pushed down the fallopian tube, and is available to be fertilized [in the uterus]."

The discharge probably resembles egg whites sort-of and is quite stretchy (or gooey like a booger as you said). Just so you know, you're high risk getting pregnant at this stage in your cycle.
Discharge is to help cleanse your vagina from bad bacteria (which is being secreted) and to help provide lubrication for sperm to successfully make it to your egg to fertilize it. Every woman has discharge.
Different Discharges:
Before ovulation- There will be a small amount of clear discharge.
Closer to ovulation- Discharge is moist/sticky and is white or lightly cream colored. There is some mucus but it isn't as stretchy as it will be during ovulation.
At ovulation- There will be a lot of discharge at this point. It will be like egg whites and is stretchy. You are most fertile here (high risk pregnancy) and sperm entering your body at this time will be able to survive slightly longer than normal.
After ovulation- Discharge is sticky but not stretchy. Mostly clear and will dwindle back to the "before ovulation" state.
Also, vaginal infections, medications, and birth control can all change the appearance of your discharge.
Vaginal yeast infections can cause itching and burning, the white discharge may look similar to cottage cheese, there could be pain during sexual intercourse, and some swelling of the vulva. The discharge smells somewhat yeasty from what I've read but not always.
Yeast infections are caused by a disruption in the balance of good bacteria in the vagina. Sexual intercourse, antibiotics, using too much soap, tampon usage, and even wearing tight clothing can all cause a yeast infection to occur.
If you have never had one before and you suspect you do now, then you NEED to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis. From there, you can purchase over-the-counter medication such as Monistat from your local store. The 7-day treatment seems to be the best of the bunch. It comes with the medication, applicator, and instructions so you can do it yourself in privacy.
Sometimes women mis-diagnose themselves with a yeast infection when they really have something else wrong (such as a bacterial infection that can render the woman infertile and cause a lot of pain for the rest of their lives).
Until you're able see a doctor, you may want to wear a panty-liner so you don't have wet underclothing/pants. Do NOT wear a tampon as it will further disrupt the balance in your vagina, and if you don't have an infection, you can get one then. You may also want to wear some looser clothing.

Well, just as you said it.
It is a Vaginal Discharge. Every girl gets it before and after their period.
When you have your discharge, that means it is cleaning your vagina.
SO there is NOTHING to worry about.
Hope I Helped!

Sweetie it's totally normal don't worry. It's called vaginal discharge and happens to some girls right before they get their period. And if it's not that, then it could be sweat (gross I know, but normal).
You're fine don't worry!
