SCHEDULING DENTIST APPOINTMENTS FEELS LIKE AN ACHIEVEMENT.
Follow for more insights into the unwritten rules of post-grad life.
We spent years mastering complex theories, debating world-changing ideas, and crafting meticulously researched papers within the hallowed halls of our prestigious institutions. We conquered demanding curricula, led campus organizations, and perhaps even juggled an internship or two. We were groomed for leadership, innovation, and intellectual prowess. Yet, here we are, staring down the barrel of adulting, and realizing that sometimes, the biggest win of the week isn't closing a deal or making a breakthrough, but simply remembering to book that six-month check-up.
This is the weird transition nobody warned us about. What they don't tell you while you're burning the midnight oil in the library is how much mental energy goes into health insurance forms, apartment maintenance, or just consistently feeding yourself something other than ramen. It's the silent battle of bureaucracy, the unsung victory of a perfectly timed oil change, or the sheer triumph of not letting your clean laundry sit in a basket for three weeks. We were prepared to solve global problems, but sometimes it feels like just managing our personal lives is the ultimate grand challenge. So, next time you successfully coordinate that dentist visit, give yourself a pat on the back. You've earned it.
