2. I can't feel anything.

Is that my tongue or my lips?

3. I want a milkshake!

I just had major oral surgery. I think I deserve a trip to Cookout.

4. Give me my pain meds!!

As soon as the numbing medicine wears off.

Day Two

5. I better not get a dry socket.

Not trying to deal with that.

6. Swish with salt water? Ugh...

My mouth tastes like salt 24/7.

7. I'm just gonna eat ice cream for every meal.

I deserve it.

Day Three

8. I would do anything to eat normal food!

My diet has consisted or yogurt, soup and ice cream for the past three days and I am getting extremely hangry.

9. If I have to swish with salt water one more time I swear I'm going to throw up.

This sucks.

Day Four Or As Late As Week Three

10. No more pain! I'm healed!!!!

It's about time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
