10 Thoughts Of A Nervous Person Going To The Doctors

Being a nervous person can lead to many different unwanted awkward situations. Being at the doctor's office can be one of those awkward situations.

When's my birthday?

Giphy

Okay, okay. All I have to do is walk up to the receptionist and state my birthday. "Hello, birthday?" Wot. Uhhhhhhhhh, what is a birthday?

Is this the right weight?

Giphy

Looking at the scale and wonder "Is that right?" or "Is that an okay weight?"

Getting a feel of what your nurse/doctor is like

Giphy

Soooooo... Are you a cool doctor or one who is really strict to the book? I really need to know whether or not I can relax or question everything I have ever done to my body.

Objects within the doctors office

Giphy

I never felt the need to mess with unknown objects until sat in the doctor's office alone. Yet, I have always been told as a child that I cannot touch anything. Which makes it more irresistible.

BIG WORDS

Giphy

Okay, okay. Calm down there Mr. Vocab. I need you to relax with them big words and dumb it down to a first-grade level. Now, what does this stethoscope do?

Getting undressed

Giphy

Getting undress. In an unknown area. I believe that is pretty self explanatory.

Questions. Questions. Questions.

Giphy

I wasn't ready for all the trick questions. Don't be asking me questions about what my diet is because I have no clue. I eat broccoli...once.

The constant thinking of everything that is wrong with your body

Giphy

So, I have been having this strange pain in my side. It always seems to happen when I exercise...Oh, it's because I'm out of shape. Well then.

Should I or should I not joke?

Giphy

If I joke, I expect you to laugh or this whole entire appointment will ruin me for the rest of the day. My trip back home will be me shaming myself for trying to make a joke about dinosaurs.

When they leave you alone in the room.

Giphy

Should I be on my phone? What if they walk in with me being on my phone? I feel that it is rude for me to on my phone when you walk it. Or would it be creepy that I am sitting here patiently waiting for you?

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
