20 Thoughts You Have Before Getting Your Wisdom Teeth Out

Blogspot

I am currently sitting in my bed waiting to leave so I can get 2 or 4 of my wisdom teeth out. I have friends and family who have gotten theirs out and so I've heard plenty of horror stories (okay not so bad stories). I was looking forward to today for a while because I've been waiting for two years to get them taken out but today I woke up feeling a little scared. I know that it will be over before I know it and there really is nothing to worry about once I get them out. Recovery time is going to be very hard on me I'm sure but it'll be worth it once I don't have any more wisdom tooth pain. So here are 20 thoughts I've had over the course of waiting to get them removed.

1. Why do we have wisdom teeth anyways?

2. How have my teeth not moved at all from two years ago?

3. Wait, this means I'm going to look like a chipmunk for the next 5 days.

4. Chipmunks are cute, right?

5. I'm going to be doped up on drugs for this procedure.

6. I wonder if I'll cry or laugh hysterically after surgery. Probably both.

7. I just got home and now I can't even eat the good food I came back for. I can only have ice cream and applesauce and other really soft foods.

8. Wait, I can have all the ice cream I want for the next few days.

9. Today is finally going to be the day where I sleep to my heart's content.

10. Remember when the dentists told me I had no wisdom teeth? Well, I definitely do now.

11. Okay take these out now they're starting to hurt.

12. I haven't had surgery like this since I was a baby. I hope I don't throw up because of the anesthesia.

13. Maybe I'll get a nice get well soon card and presents from my friends and/or family.

14. My mouth is going to be really sore and I'm going to complain a lot.

15. I won't be able to talk.

16. Wait your face might thin out after surgery?

17. Goodbye, round cheeks!

18. I hope I can get them all out in one shot so I don't have to go back and go through this process all over again.

19. Wait I don't have time for this. It's spring break, and I have all this homework to do. I have 2 papers, a book, and another huge written assignment and no time and there's so much stress and...

20. Oh well, can't do it today. Sleep is calling my name. I'm coming for you!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

You are basically a zombie with a pencil.

You receive confused looks from others when you name drop an author/literary terminology.

You wear your suffering as a badge.

You proofread every text and social media post you write.

You cringe when you read a non-English major's paper,

You could spend all day in a library.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

The good old days are always happening now, so live in the moment.

“Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica” are the three most important topics one can talk about.

The Dundies are cooler than the Oscars.

Everybody has a Toby, and they are just someone you have to learn to deal with.

Group pictures are hard to take (especially jumping pics).

It's never too early to eat ice cream.

Schrute’s are always prepared for anything.

Except pop culture references...

Holidays are important and a very good reason to host any kind of party.

There will always be cynical co-workers to deal with.

Putting things in Jell-O is a great use of your time.

Sometimes funny voices and personas make awkward situations easier (just ask Prison Mike).

That places you may not always love can bring you the people you love.

Determination is an important characteristic to possess.

Sarcasm is essential in everyday life.

Love can be really weird.

At Halloween time, it is trivial to come with your best costume ready.

Friendship is long lasting no matter where the future takes you.

Pranks are funny no matter the age.

Goodbyes are hard, but reunions are worth it.

Blogs are confusing.

"That's what she said" jokes will never get old.

Jim Halpert can say so much with just a look at the camera.

Bros should always come before hoes because...

Declaring bankruptcy isn't as hard as we all thought.

Office places can be weird and stressful at times.

Michael Scott loves Dunder Mifflin and the Scranton Office more than anything.

"The Office" truly does have a lot that it can teach us.

Ah, pre-med: home of the dead at heart.

1. You have forsaken all your friends for coffee.

2. 8 hours of sleep? Try 4 instead.

3. Everyone asks you for medical advice, even though you’re not a doctor yet.
