The Dentist Is Going To Make Me Fat

The relation between food and emotion is wildly complicated, yet incredibly simple. It should be easy to take care of yourself...right?

The Dentist Is Going To Make Me Fat

I find dentist appointments to be very anxiety ridden, call me crazy but i equate going to the dentist with going to hell. I had to go to the oral surgeon today to evaluate my wisdom teeth. I was riding along in the car with my mother and we get to the place...they are closed. When they open we come to find that, thanks to the insurance company, we were referred to the wrong place. Don’t you just love insurance companies? Their always just so reliable, it's truly shocking. When we left the dentist I felt like I was having a full fledged emotional breakdown. I blurted out to my mother “I NEED COFFEE.” This isn’t really out of the ordinary for me since I am in a constant caffeine deprived state. We went to Panera, shitty coffee by the way, and as I was ordering I saw a scone with an orange glaze in the corner of my eye. It has 540 calories in it. Of course, I ordered and devoured it. I wanted to feel comfort and relief in a split second; what’s better than butter and sugar to fill this unknown void? I can easily excuse this indulgent pastry by saying “oh it was just a treat.” I was in the shower and I was thinking what I weird concept this whole “treat” thing is. We see putting shitty food in our body as a treat, as something that should be a reward. Isn’t that weird? It's a very backwards way of thinking. Your body deserves to be treated with respect, both mentally and physically. It's just funny how we get in our own way all the time, and sometimes we don’t even realize we are doing it.

I just got sweet potato fries...god damn it.

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.
