24 Things That I Did In The First 24 Hours After My Oral Surgery Instead Of Being Productive

Lucia Wang

1. Choked on water while trying to take Advil

Giphy

Look, my entire mouth was numb, okay?

2. Rewatched "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" for the 14th time

Giphy

The entire audience: *GASP*

3. Wished my friends luck on their last final exams

Giphy

May the spirit of Steve Rogers be with you today.

4. Printed out a return label for my rental textbook

Giphy

Shout out to Amazon for giving me half off a textbook!!

5. Watched TikToks for 2 hours

Giphy

Am I ashamed? Maybe a little.

6. Tried to check my grades but my internet was down

Giphy

Like, what am I supposed to do now?

7. Tried to make my own TikTok but gave up

Giphy

Me trying to film my own video (unsuccessfully).

8. Ate a mushed banana, but it took really long because my mouth was numb

Giphy

Fun fact, bananas are one of my favorite fruits.

9. Unloaded some boxes from the car

Giphy

Be careful with those fridges, y'all!

10. Avoided actually unpacking those boxes

Giphy

It's fine, those boxes are just everything I brought home from school, but I don't need to unpack them...

11. Checked my email and realized I got one from my professor

Giphy

This was not the content of the email, but I wish it were :/

12. Realized that summer classes start in a week

Giphy

I don't wanna go back to school!!

13. Freaked out and rummaged around for my old notes

Giphy

Chemistry will NOT become the death of me.

14. Calmed down when I realized the pre-assignment wasn't due for 2 weeks

Giphy

That feeling of relief is unparalleled.

15. Ate a popsicle

Giphy

Mmm. Love a good pineapple popsicle.

16. Finished the TikTok I had started earlier

vm.tiktok.com

(Here it is, if you wanted to watch it)

17. Stopped putting gauze in my mouth

Giphy

I was finally free.

18. Rinsed my mouth out

Giphy

(My mouth was so numb that I couldn't even do this)

19. Ate some rice and mashed potatoes, slowly

Giphy

At this point I wasn't chewing, just taking really small bites and swallowing them as fast as I could.

20. Binged the Try Guys for a few hours

Giphy

They're too entertaining to dislike!

21. Rinsed my mouth out again!

Giphy

Me accidentally drooling all over myself because I can't feel my mouth :(

22. Brushed my teeth as carefully as possible

Giphy

Gotta keep up that good oral hygiene!!!!

23. Read a bit before bed

Giphy

Reading for leisure > Reading for school

24. Went to bed at 10:30

Giphy

Earliest I've slept all year.

Honestly, my day wasn't that productive. But this was a good way to reflect on what I do in a typical day when I don't have any obligations. I apparently watch a lot of videos and get stressed about things that aren't happening yet. Maybe I should start some new hobbies, like knitting or Pilates or something. There's a world of things I haven't done out there!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

It's so rude that we have finals.

1. When you look at your finals schedule and become immediately overwhelmed:

2. When your professor says that the final is only going to be short answer questions:

3. When you text your parents to tell them that you're going to have a mental breakdown and drop out of college and they're just like:

4. When you're trying to study with friends, but then you realize that you haven't gotten anything done:

5. Then you just end up going on your phone.

6. When you're two weeks away from finals and your professor tells you that you should probably start studying now:

7. When you sit down to take your final and the first question hits you like:

8. When you start the practice problems and you're just like:

9. When you're in your final and find a question that you actually know the answer to:

10. When that one annoying kid in your class says that the final was super easy and they aced it:

11. When you come back from your 7:30 a.m. final and crash:

12. When your professor tries to teach you new material a week before the final:

13. When you decide to eat away the pain that is finals week by ordering massive amounts of food:

14. Filling out course evaluations for that one difficult professor like:

15. When it's right before your first final and you're just like:

16. When your professor tells that you the final is cumulative:

17. When the kid next to you keeps looking over at your test:

18. Looking back on the outfits that you wore during finals week like:

19. When it's been two hours and you've only gotten through five notecards:

20. When you finally make it to the end of the week:
