Make It Happen

So as I'm trying to maintain my motivation to study for the DAT and my reasons for applying to dental school, I remembered a certain scene from an episode of the TV show Scurbs. After a bit of research (read: 3 minutes of googling) it's episode 16 from season 8, "My Cuz," and Turk is considering applying for the Chief of Surgery position.

TURK: I'd be great at that job. 

CARLA: Then go for it

TURK: Chief of surgery?

CARLA: Baby, one of the most amazing things about you is that when you want something bad enough, you always make it happen. Remember when you first started working here and I had no interest in dating you, what did you do?

TURK: I made it happen. 

CARLA: And what about when I had no interest in marrying you?

TURK: I made it happen!

CARLA: Go make this happen.

TURK: I'm doing it.


It makes sense, really. If you want something badly enough, you will find a way to make it happen. I wanted to be one of the best damn dancers that's ever gone through BPG, and though my time in the group was short, I put in the hours and danced at events outside of regular practice, and I've definitely made this happen. I wanted to date a certain gal, and with enough patience, perseverance, and maybe charm on my part, I've...almost made it happen. I think. And now if I really want to kick the DAT's ass and make myself look like the best thing that's ever happened to dental school/dentistry since the freaking toothbrush, well.

I'm gonna make it happen.
