Ok, disclaimer: I was not put under, aka given any general anesthesia. Instead, I got local. And let me tell you, that was possibly one of the worst decisions I've ever made in my life.

Another disclaimer: I only had one of my wisdom teeth taken out. Which can be seen as a good/bad thing depending on the way you look at it. 1. I only had to suffer through it for 1 hour and 2. I am going to have to go through that experience again, and it might be with local anesthesia too.

So here are the 5 thoughts that I remember from this traumatizing experience:

1. Shots should be the most painful thing from this experience right?

Also literally what one of the dental assistants were telling me. But nope couldn't be farther from the truth.

2. Is it normal to be feeling this much pressure??

Like is it normal for you to be using this much brute force? To literally be pushing down with all your might??

3. Okay he's yanking...still yanking...oh and now he's back in with the drill

I am very uncomfortable with how I can feel my tooth being taken out from its socket little by little

4. Should I ask for a break?? Or like continue to stare at the blinding overhead light?

I won't seem like a wimp if i do right?

5. UHHH is that BLOOD going through that tube?

One second I'm staring straight ahead, next my eyes shift to the left and all I can see is all that blood going through that tube.

6. Okay, don't cry, don't cry it's almost over this only takes about an hour

This was literally the most terrifying part for me, being real here. Hearing the drill go off, followed by them yanking as hard as they could and then some dental students looking over their shoulders. Got to say I really had to hold some tears with how nervous/scared I was feeling.

7. seeing them take the tooth out of my mouth uhhh that's one really big tooth...

Annddd that's really gross. Especially with how that was in my mouth. I almost wanted to start crying (again, I know) with relief that they were finally taking it out. Not to be dramatic or anything but that experience literally felt like it took 3 hours.

8. I swear if they redo the stitches one more time I am literally going to slap someone

Aren't you guys dentists? Or at least done this a couple of times? Literally, it shouldn't take 5 tries to get started on the stitch.

9. Can you PLEASE not put that much pressure on my jaw/gums with that scapula thing??

I was honestly on the verge of slapping someone's hand here. Like I know you're a dental student, but was it really necessary to dig that deep with your tool into my very sensitive gums?

Literally don't even talk to me right now...

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
