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

In This Article:

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."

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

"I know they're in there."

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

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

"I can feel my pulse. Gross."

"You still can't find a vein?"

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

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

"Yay! Someone finally found a vein!"

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

"Are you done yet?"

"How many more vials?"

"She's taking all my blood."

"How am I going to replace all that?"

"Wait, we're done?"

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

"I don't feel very good."

"Can I lie down?"

"I'm gonna lie down right here."

"I am so light-headed."

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

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

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

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

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

"Hey! I can see again."

"I guess eating does really help."

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

"See everyone in a couple months!"

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
