You know what it's like. We've all been there... head tipped back while sitting in a cushiony chair, feet propped up in front of us, mouth stretched wide-open. A million things begin racing through your mind while you are awaiting your fate as you sit in the dentist's chair. It gets even worse when your jaw is set open, metal tools prodding around, and your dental hygienist chooses to ask you questions (that are not rhetorical, may I add) as if you are equipped to carry on a full conversation, right here, right now.

The following are 17 thoughts that every person has while sitting in a dentist's chair.

1. "Where should my eyes be looking?"

2. "Dear Dental Hygienist, I do not know why you keep asking me questions that I cannot simply answer with a yes or no."

3. "My jaw hurts from stretching for so long."

4. "I should probably start flossing more often."

5. "Seriously, where should my eyes be looking?"

6. "Mouths are so gross. I would never want to be a dentist."

7. "Why do I feel the need to swallow when there is literally a tool sucking all my spit out of my mouth currently?"

8. "What is that spit-sucking tool even called?"

9. "My dental hygienist is kinda cute."

10. "Too bad he's probs not thinking the same thing about me while doing the gross job of cleaning my mouth."

11. "Why are they even called 'wisdom teeth' anyways?"

12. "If they are full of wisdom, why would I want to remove them?"

13. "I'm hilarious...if only I could tell the cute dental hygienist my jokes."

14. "The sound of a metal rod picking my teeth is not pleasant."

15. "I cannot understand what the dental hygienist is asking me with all of these loud tools going."

16. "Hey, no cavities. Go me!"

17. "I hope they let me pick my toothbrush this time."

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.
