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

In This Article:

This is exactly what it sounds like. I got oral surgery on Tuesday morning at 7 a.m. — real convenient timing considering I had a final Monday and also moved out of my dorm — but I had no choice. So I decided to record what I did in the 24 hours after I got my teeth pulled, and here it is.

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!

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
