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!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
