30 Thoughts You Have When You Have To Get Blood Drawn— Before You Pass Out

If you're like me, you really don't look forward to getting blood tests. I don't mind the sight of blood or needles, yet I usually have problems with donating blood or just having blood drawn in general. Despite bringing candy with me to treat myself afterward, I usually end up psyching myself out and making things way worse for myself (and the person taking my blood).

Here are 30 thoughts I had the last time I had my blood drawn:

"I hope she can find the vein right away. These fasting blood tests always make me really hungry."

Giphy

"What do you mean you can't find a vein?"

Giphy

"I know they're in there."

Giphy

"This is a fasting blood test and my veins are hidden to begin with..."

Giphy

"Oh, now you are tying up my other arm."

Giphy

"I can feel my pulse. Gross."

Giphy

"You still can't find a vein?"

Giphy

"Oh, you have to go get someone else to do it. That's encouraging."

Giphy

*Ties even tighter knots around both arms* "Owwww! This shouldn't be that difficult."

Giphy

"Yay! Someone finally found a vein!"

Giphy

"Ok. This is fine. She's almost done."

Giphy

"Are you done yet?"

Giphy

"How many more vials?"

Giphy

"She's taking all my blood."

Giphy

"How am I going to replace all that?"

Giphy

"Wait, we're done?"

Giphy

"Wow. That wasn't even that bad."

Giphy

"I don't feel very good."

Giphy

"Can I lie down?"

Giphy

"I'm gonna lie down right here."

Giphy

"I am so light-headed."

Giphy

"And now I can't see. Things are progressing nicely."

Giphy

"I have to eat or drink something? I really don't feel good."

Giphy

"Oh hi Mom. They called you from the waiting room?"

Giphy

"I just want some water and I'll be fine."

Giphy

"This apple juice and cheese and peanut butter cracker duo is no bueno."

Giphy

"Hey! I can see again."

Giphy

"I guess eating does really help."

Giphy

"I can stand up now without falling over. #Winning"

Giphy

"See everyone in a couple months!"

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
