32 Thoughts I Had When I Was Getting My Wisdom Teeth Surgery

c1.staticflickr.com

After recently getting all of my wisdom teeth out, I thought I should write about my thoughts during the process, which are some things that they forget to mention in the pamphlet they give you.

1. How is the first available appointment four months away??

Giphy

Between college breaks, vacations, and not to mention the surgeon's schedule, the scheduling part might just be the hardest part.

2. I'm not nervous at all

I mean like guys, I already have four wisdom teeth in my mouth, could it get worse? Yes.. it can

3. I only need to come ten minutes early?

Ten minutes early to surgery? I mean I like what you are doing here doctor, but are you sure you don't want some more time?

4. Wait, my Mom doesn't come back with me?

Giphy

..Uh, excuse me?

5. This kind of just seems like a regular appointment

6. Why is everyone so relaxed?

I appreciate the confidence, but hello you will be tearing teeth out of my head in a couple minutes, let's show some emotion here people.

7. Oh, goodnight?

I did not get the countdown that they give people in the movies..

8. Wakes up Are my teeth even out?

Giphy

9. Is my tongue still here?

10. I should probably stick my fingers in just to be sure

11. Yikes, no need to yell at me nurse

Giphy

I just don't see what the big deal is.. What is going on??

12. You mean I need to get up now? I don't think I can even see straight

13. I feel no pain right now

Giphy

14. Hey everyone in my recents on Snapchat, WHAT’S UP!!!

15. “Mom, I just need an iced coffee… like right now”

Giphy

Thank god for Starbucks and their new lids without the straw!

16. Are my teeth going to be bloody forever?

Uhh.. can whitening strips fix this?

17. Time to take the gauze out… yeah not pretty

18. “Mom, I’m going to need you to feed me my jello”

Giphy

19. I guess I could use a short nap.. Or a six hour one, who knows

20. I take back that no pain comment right about now

Giphy

21. I wish I could go back to the numb and slightly drunk phase of this experience

22. Wait, my mom recorded that car ride? AND it’s on Facebook?

Giphy

Eh, at least I can watch what I will never remember.

23. Ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was my childhood dream, we are now thriving

Giphy

24. Two hours later... my friends were not dramatic… this is no fun at all

25. I guess it is a good time to watch the entire Twilight series

Giphy

26. Oh God, I think I’m going to puke

Turns out 24/7 ice cream is not good for the stomach.. Neither is not eating before taking your medicine. The lesson has been learned.

27. Okay, everything is okay, I am OKAY

Giphy

Just need to fake it until you make it.

28. Dissolvable stitches??? Then why do I feel them popping out??

Giphy

29. Well, we need to put a pep in the recovery step, I have plans to attend to

Yeah, these plans got cancelled.

30. I think I will try to get a workout in today, I’m feeling pretty good!!

What a mistake.

31. I need to practice chewing before going out into public.. Yikes

32. Eh, screw it, I’m going out!!

Giphy

All in all, it is not the end of the world getting your wisdom teeth out. As long as you give yourself time to rest and heal, you should be ready to eat more than ice cream within a week. Unless you prefer not to.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

8. Wakes up Are my teeth even out?
