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.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
