15 Thoughts During A Dentist Appointment
Career Planning

When you hear the word "dentist", you cringe. You've been told horror stories of pliers, pulled teeth, and pain since you were a kid. But when you walk into the dentist's office, all preconceived ideas of the dreadful dentist are erased as you immerse yourself in the peaceful serenity of a zen-decor waiting room, laden with fountains and a cheerful receptionist. There's no way that the rumors about the dentist are true, you think to yourself. And yet you remember that you thought that last time, too...

1. Wow, it is peaceful here.

Deceivingly so. It’s like the calm before the storm. when you sit down and they give you a paraffin hand wax and let you watch TV comfortably, don’t be fooled my friends- you’re in the eye of the hurricane.

2. Why are you flossing my teeth with the force and motion of a jackhammer?

Newsflash Dentist, pushing harder isn't going to make up for seven years of not flossing.

3. My mouth must look like Dracula after finishing off a literal bloody Mary...

I never floss.

4. Is it better to admit that I don't floss or should I lie and say I floss twice a day?

Screw it. My gums are gushing blood. The Dentist would never believe me.

5. There is no way I have 16 "possible cavities"

I might not be a regular flosser but I do brush my teeth regularly! I'm not an animal, and this X-ray machine is incorrect. I swear, the dentist is just trying to make money off me. It's all a conspiracy, I'm convinced.

6. Wow, I'm so glad I'm allowed to watch TV though I can neither see nor hear it

7. Please stop talking to me.

I can't respond, obviously...

8. Please stop talking to each other.

I don't care about your personal lives.

9. Please say something!

This silence is so awkward

10. Wow this cleaning is taking awhile...

Oh, I'm getting three fillings today, too? Awesome, had no idea but the more, the merrier.

11. Mouth dam? Damn.

12. Give me gas. Drug me. Please.

13. I thought you said we were almost done.

14. Am I too old to pick out a toy from the treasure box?

I deserve this.

15. I cannot believe I pay for this.

I'd rather let my teeth rot.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
