I don't floss.

15 Thoughts During A Dentist Appointment
Career Planning

When you hear the word "dentist", you cringe. You've been told horror stories of pliers, pulled teeth, and pain since you were a kid. But when you walk into the dentist's office, all preconceived ideas of the dreadful dentist are erased as you immerse yourself in the peaceful serenity of a zen-decor waiting room, laden with fountains and a cheerful receptionist. There's no way that the rumors about the dentist are true, you think to yourself. And yet you remember that you thought that last time, too...

1. Wow, it is peaceful here.

Deceivingly so. It’s like the calm before the storm. when you sit down and they give you a paraffin hand wax and let you watch TV comfortably, don’t be fooled my friends- you’re in the eye of the hurricane.

2. Why are you flossing my teeth with the force and motion of a jackhammer?

Newsflash Dentist, pushing harder isn't going to make up for seven years of not flossing.

3. My mouth must look like Dracula after finishing off a literal bloody Mary...

I never floss.

4. Is it better to admit that I don't floss or should I lie and say I floss twice a day?

Screw it. My gums are gushing blood. The Dentist would never believe me.

5. There is no way I have 16 "possible cavities"

I might not be a regular flosser but I do brush my teeth regularly! I'm not an animal, and this X-ray machine is incorrect. I swear, the dentist is just trying to make money off me. It's all a conspiracy, I'm convinced.

6. Wow, I'm so glad I'm allowed to watch TV though I can neither see nor hear it

7. Please stop talking to me.

I can't respond, obviously...

8. Please stop talking to each other.

I don't care about your personal lives.

9. Please say something!

This silence is so awkward

10. Wow this cleaning is taking awhile...

Oh, I'm getting three fillings today, too? Awesome, had no idea but the more, the merrier.

11. Mouth dam? Damn.

12. Give me gas. Drug me. Please.

13. I thought you said we were almost done.

14. Am I too old to pick out a toy from the treasure box?

I deserve this.

15. I cannot believe I pay for this.

I'd rather let my teeth rot.

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.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
