In This Article:

Recently, I decided to go through with the experience of getting my nose pierced. Getting my nose pierced was something I had wanted to do since I was thirteen years old, but every time I asked my parents, the answer was always a firm, resounding "no." As a result, the dream of getting my nose pierced was something that was nice to think about, but never attainable. Until last week, anyway. I don't know what snapped, but I decided that I was going to get my nose pierced no matter what. So after classes ended on Friday, I dragged my best friend to a tattoo parlor with me. Here are some of the thoughts I had throughout the entire experience.

1. Oh God, my parents are going to kill me

Flintsones

Do I really need to rebel? What am I even trying to accomplish? Maybe I just should just go home.

2. Everyone here looks so cool and tough and scary

Cool

What am I even doing in a tattoo parlor? I don't belong here.

3. What if it looks horrible? What if I look stupid?

Stupid

Would I even look good with my nose pierced? I'll probably look dumb.

4. Will it hurt? I'm going to pass out and bleed to death in a tattoo parlor

Pain

It's going to hurt so bad. Is the pain even worth it?

What if I start crying? That would be so embarrassing.

Crying

When I cry, I look exactly like Kim K when she cries. It's not a pretty sight.

Maybe I should leave right now, this isn’t a good idea.

Leave

My parents will probably kill me anyway. I should probably leave my nose alone.

That needle is so long! Why is it so long?

Needle

That thing is going through my nose?!?

Okay, he’s telling me to breathe. Deep breaths, you got this.

Deep breaths

In. Out. In. Out.

Why does it feel like someone is pinching my nose really hard?

Nose

It's like getting my blood drawn, but from my nose. Does that even make sense?

Oh shoot, my eyes are watering up so much. So. Many. Tears.

Tears

I NEED a tissue. Somebody please get me a tissue.

Wait, that’s it? It’s over?

Yay!

I thought it would take a lot longer. That was so fast.

Oh, wow. This actually looks pretty good!

Cute

Why was I so worried? This looks exactly like I wanted it to look like.

This was so worth it.

No regrets

Hands down, no regrets.

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.

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.
