20 Stages of Getting Your Wisdom Teeth Taken Out
Paige Goodskey

Pretty much everyone does not have room for these teeth in their mouth: wisdom teeth. If you are one of the lucky ones who does not have to have them removed, then we all envy you. Getting wisdom teeth taken out is a dreaded process, and just the toothache that it starts out with is painful. Here are the stages that pretty much everyone has or will experience in their lifetime.

1.) The initial tooth ache

2.) The dentist visit with dreaded news

3.) Finding an oral surgeon covered by your insurance

4.) The pain medication to keep the teeth from hurting

5.) The consultation: how many? What's going to happen?

6.) The morning of

7.) The operation room, waiting to be put out

8.) Waking up not being able to feel anything

9.) Maybe you are still loopy from it, so you make a viral video

10.) Not being able to eat anything solid, pretty much making you feel like a baby

11.) Trying to keep the gauze in your mouth and not gag on it

12.) The next morning: no numbness, but a lot of pain

13.) Missing and wanting solid food, but still eating soft foods because of the pain

14.) Taking the pain killers to keep from having too much pain

15.) Resting and sleeping away the pain

16.) Having everyone ask how you are doing when you are ready to get back into society and function like a normal human being. You tell them everything is okay, but your still in pain.

17.) The pain goes away a little more each day

18.) FINALLY SOLID FOOD

19.) Eating but can't open your mouth wide enough to eat anything big

20.) The pain is gone! You are back to normal!

At least you only have to go through it once, hopefully.

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.

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.
