Random Thoughts From the Dentist Chair

Because what else can you do except go down the rabbit hole of weird, random thoughts?

Most people hate the dentist; I don't. I actually don't mind it at all, except for the needles. I could probably even fall asleep if my dentist didn't talk so dang much.

Sometimes I put my earbuds in and listen to music to pass the time. Sometimes I actively follow the lively conversation between the dentist and hygienist. Sometimes I tune them out and stare at the light above the chair. And sometimes, I jot down the random thoughts or questions that pops into my mind.


1. My dentist talks too much

Seriously. I really feel like maybe he should spend a little more time looking into my mouth and maybe a little less time yukking it up with the hygienist. I get a little worried that he might mess something up because he's not looking.


2. OMG My Hygienist Farted

What do I do??? So awkward. Help. SOS. It's so near my face. Help. Do I pretend I didn't notice? She sure pretended that she didn't break wind right by my head.


3. Is It Possible For My Jaw To Break?

Has anyone's jaw ever broken while getting their wisdom teeth removed? Because I really feel like this yanking is pretty intense. Can I get whiplash from all the pulling?


4. Why Are They Talking To Me?

I will never understand why the dentist insists on talking to me while my mouth is wedged open. And the crazy thing is, he actually expects a reply! He and the hygienist ask real questions, not hypothetical or conversational ones. Real questions that you have to mumble a drooley reply to. It's insane, and if there weren't sharp tools in my mouth, I'd shake my head and sigh at them.

These are just a couple of the thoughts I have at the dentist; what kind of thoughts do you have? How do you pass the time in that chair?

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.
