Many people have to get their wisdom teeth taken out just as many people struggle to get through a semester of college. Getting your wisdom teeth taken out can be a very painful but funny and entertaining process, much like a semester of college. There are many steps to finishing the procedure or finishing the semester. Ultimately, both things will lead to success in the end. Although you may be removing some wisdom, you'll be gaining some in college! Here are some things that happen to us while getting our wisdom teeth removed as well as getting through a semester of college.

1. Removing wisdom teeth prevents us from being in pain in the future.

College also prevents us from being in pain in the future. It is to make sure we obtain our dream job. In the meantime, we'll just have to suffer through the pain.


2. We have to fast.

Doctors recommend that you don't eat the night before or the day of the surgery, but in college we don't eat because we are broke.

3. You get stabbed at the beginning of the procedure.

Doctors will stab you with the anesthetic at the beginning of the procedure, but professors will stab you with that first paper that will be due at the end of the semester.Ouch!

4. We sleep the pain away.

Doctors will give you an anesthetic that will put you to sleep during the surgery so you don't feel pain. In college, we skip classes and take naps because class is a pain in the...you know where.

5. They give you pain killers.

College students prefer alcohol.

6. You record the whole thing




The whole thing is documented through video to catch your funny moments while in college, we have Snapchat for that


7. You may look a little rough.

The doctors numbing your face is almost like pulling an all-nighter to write a 10-page paper, a presentation, and a group project.

8. You go through every type of emotion.

The next few days after getting your wisdom teeth out are a roller coaster of emotions, much like a semester of college. You may feel anger, whether it is over trying to find Beyonce or trying to work on a group project. You'll feel happiness when you find out that you can have ice cream or that your lips are actually still on your face, while in college you'll find happiness in new life-long friendships. You'll find confusion throughout the whole semester in class and you'll find excitement when you're nearing the end of all the pain whether we're talking about recovering from mouth pain or recovering from final exams pain.

9. Pain

Getting your wisdom teeth out can be very painful. It may even be as painful as studying, writing papers, pulling all-nighters, taking exams, doing group projects, eating cafeteria food, and surviving hangovers.

10. Turnt

You might feel a little "turnt" after those painkillers. I don't think I need to give an explanation about college students being turnt. College students are always turnt.


11. You question everything.

On painkillers, you might be loopy and curious about the most deep topics such as "if this is actually real life" or "if you'll be able to get on the Ellen Degeneres Show." In college you may have questions like "Where am I going to use this math when I am a journalism student?" or "What if I just quit college and work at McDonalds for the rest of my life?"


Here's a fun video of me "not acting weird" after getting my wisdom teeth removed. Those were my words in the video. If you watch from 07:50 to the end, I give an overall summary of what it feels like to get your wisdom teeth out, so if you're getting yours out soon...Good luck!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
