The Emotions One Goes Through When Getting Their Nails Done

Skylar Meyers

We all go through those different struggles of going to nail salons to get our nails done. What is meant to be a fun and relaxing time can turn into something that ends up being stressful. Here are a few reasons why this might be stressful:

1. OMG, so many choices to choose from

*Changes color all the way up until the last possible moment*

2. My cuticles are disgusting and what is that under my nail (they must think I do not shower)

*Tries not to scream in the middle of the nail salon*

3. Ow, Ow, Ow

*When the nail polish remover burns that cut*

4. Getting that hot washcloth put on your hands

Holy Moly! That is hot! Do I say something or just fight through the pain?

5. Feeling the need to apologize every five 5 seconds

*Gets distracted by the TV, bangs nail against fan, pulls hand away, ect.*

6. Trying to think if you have enough money in the bank to pay $5 extra dollars for that special add-on

*Starts counting random quarters from wallet*

7. OK, please nail god don't let them be messed up as they dry (cries inside as tries not to bang nails against side)

*Carefully tiptoes around and tries not to touch anything even hours after getting nails done*

8. When you go to pay

Well, guess I won't be getting my nails done for the next four years*

9. Leaving the nail studio - chips nail (NOOOOOO)

*Screams internally*

But don't even get me started on what happens when I get my toes done.

8 Things You'll Never Hear College Students Say

Nope, never.

Fordham University

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

A List Of 26 Little Things That I Am Grateful For

Just a small part of a much longer list.

For the past few months, I have not been my usual happy-go-lucky-self for a number of reasons, but one thing that has been helping me is to think about all of the little things in my life that I am thankful for. I know this might seem really cliché, but it is so true. I cannot stress enough how much better I feel when I think about all the great people and privileges I have in my life. It makes all of the insignificant things that I am stressing about or worrying about in my head seem not nearly as bad. I have decided to make a list of 26 things (out of many more) in my life that I am especially thankful for.

You realize there are still over 50 pages left to read.

You reach the two-hour mark of studying and get delirious and want to give up.

You take a Netflix and snack break.

Your friends told you they were staying in with you to study, but they end up going out.

Your friends ask why you need to study instead of having fun.

Your friends send you pictures of them out having fun, but you're stuck in the library and want to run away.

You walk out of the test and realize staying in and studying was worth it because you definitely aced it.
