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.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
