30 Things I'd Rather Do That Go To The Dentist

Going to the dentist's office is the worst thing on earth. Sitting there waiting for your name to be called to be the next victim with the smell of fluoride and toothpaste in the air isn't how I want to spend my day off. Then they call your name, you go back in the back and sit in the big body chair. That's when the doctor starts to pick at your teeth and interrogate you about your hygienic habits. Here's a list of things that I'd rather be doing than go to dentist.

1. Attend a Funeral

2. Have brain surgery

3. Run a marathon in 120-degree weather

4. Have a million mosquitoes sting me at once

5. Clean every inch of my house

6. Study for a math exam

7. Learn a new language (caveman)

8. Rob a bank

9. Swim with sharks

10. Shave my head

11. Break my face

12. Get shot

13. Have a soccer ball kicked into my stomach

14. Have my wallet stolen

15. Stand outside in a tornado

16. Have a coconut fall on my head

17. Be stranded in the middle of an ocean

18. Be a poop scooper at the circus

19. Have the crimson tide rush over me every single day for the rest of my life

20. Drink soap

21. Have my car die in the middle of traffic

22. Have a bird take a crap on my head

23. Have to pay the bills

24. Burn the last box of mac n cheese

25. Burn to a crispy tomato from the sun

26. Stand on an erupting volcano

27. Be lost on a stranded island with nothing but a volleyball

28. Have a 10-hour-long bloody nose

29. Break every bone in my body

30. Get attacked by a rabid dog

As you can see I really don't enjoy the dentist. I'd much rather live my life in peace than have to deal with this war outside between me versus the tooth doctors because I probably won't win.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
