A couple of weeks ago I got my wisdom teeth out and let me tell you, it was a roller coaster ride of an experience. I've never been a fan of the dentist, orthodontist, or basically anyone who would be up close and personal with my teeth. With this being said though, the procedure went as smoothly as it possibly could have despite my high anxiety.

Here are 35 random thoughts I experienced over the course of becoming wisdom-less.

The Night Before

1. Can I really not eat or drink anything after midnight?

2. What's the worst that could happen?

3. I mean ok I guess I should listen to the doctors though.

4. I'll just eat and drink everything in sight until 11:59 that'll be fine.

The Morning Of

5. I need water.

6. The suspense is building up!

7. Will I feel it?

8. Will I have any idea what's going on?

9. Will I spill all my deepest and darkest secrets while I'm drugged up????!!!!!

10. What does being sedated and under anesthesia even feel like?!

During

11. This isn't that bad.

12. I'm so sleepy.

13. I can see them working but all I feel is pressure.

14. Wow, these guys are good I really have no clue what's going on!

15. Ok, I'm going to go to sleep.

After

16. Good morning!

17. That was an hour? It literally felt like 5 minutes

18. Ok, I'm still loopy.

19. And numb.

20. Still hoping I don't spill any secrets.

21. I need a Slurpee.

The Next Day

22. Ok, I'm ready to be drugged back up now.

23. I NEED to brush my teeth.

24. I just want to be able to use a straw I don't understand this reverse suction thing??

25. Thank god Starbucks had those straw-less lids now.

26. My stitches feel weird.

27. Will they really just fall out?

28. Are they okay to swallow??

29. I'm sick and tired of ice cream and mashed potatoes

30. I need Chinese food, STAT.

31. I'm in so. Much. pain.

A Week Later

32. I look less like a chipmunk thank god.

33. Will these holes be in my mouth forever?

34. I'm all out of meds...hope I don't get any more pain.

35. What was I even so worried about with this whole thing again?

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1089

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Because you need it in your life.
