43 Thoughts I've Had While Recovering From Surgery
Nerd Sleep

Back in May of 2016, I had a procedure done on my right foot right after school released for the Summer. This way, I wouldn't miss out on anything important while I was in the recuperating stages of my surgery; however, last Friday I had to have my left foot worked on, and this time, I only have a week before I'm forced to go back to school. While all of my friends are out celebrating Thanksgiving break with friends and family, here are 43 post-op thoughts I've had while recovering these past two days:

1. Who knew a person could sleep this much?

2. Does my body really need THIS much sleep to recover?

3. Oh God, I think I ripped my stitches.

4. I'm pretty sure I definitely ripped my stitches.

5. I'm probably going to bleed to death and die and nobody will know.

6. I DIDN'T RIP MY STITCHES! #PRAISE

7. When is the medicine going to kick in?

8. I think it's time for another nap.

9. That makes this my third nap today.

10. Is four naps in one day too excessive?

11. My body needs to recover so that justifies it, right?

12. How does this pain compare to childbirth?

13. Wow, I have such a low pain tolerance.

14. Lord Jesus, I am not capable of giving birth.

15. HOW HAS IT ONLY BEEN AN HOUR SINCE MY LAST PAIN PILL.

16. I can catch up on some books I've been meaning to read.

17. Or I can binge watch that Netflix series everyone keeps posting about.

18. Or I could take another nap...

19. Dear Lord, I have never felt this tired.

20. Thanksgiving reminds me that I'm truly thankful for modern medicine.

21. Wow, I want ice cream.

22. ...and french fries.

23. I just want to eat everything in sight.

24. How much longer until I can start walking?

25. When can I drive? I really want to drive to get ice cream.

26. The medicine they gave me says not to make any important decisions while on it...

27. Does that mean I shouldn't do school work?

28. I think it does.

29. God, I'm tired

30. Time for another nap.

31. No pain no gain, right?

32. WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE MY STITCHES ARE RIPPING OPEN.

33. Now I have to undo the bandages and check.

34. Okay they're not ripping, praise Jesus.

35. I could crawl to the kitchen and make a snack, right?

36. No I couldn't.

37. This iodine on my leg would make a great self-tanner.

38. It makes me look like a Kardashian... or Ross Geller.

39. I could do some online shopping while laying in bed.

40. Shopping? With what money?

41. I'm a broke college kid, not a Kardashian.

42. *sigh*

43. I'll just take another nap.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my 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.
