You've seen it everywhere, the plague has hit North America and is sweeping across the country infecting everyone it touches. If you are lucky, you've avoided the plague, more commonly known as the flu, like it's your job. But, some of us are not so lucky. Nothing is worse than having the flu and having to miss class and life for a week straight. Here are ten thoughts I had while i was laying in bed dying from the flu.

1. Am I going to die?

I have never been so sick in my life.

2. Can I get a doctor's note?

These better be excused absences.

3. Can I drink with this medicine?

Four loko is basically cough syrup, right?

4. It's been 17 hours, 21 minutes and 13 seconds since i've left my house. Help.

What is the sun? LMK because i have not seen in in years.

5. What do I do when my mom isn't here to take care of me?

Mom help, I'm sick. I need soup and love.

6. Can someone bring me food?

I'm not even hungry but I just want someone to talk to and food is the only way to lure people into my germ infested room.

7. WHO DID THIS TO ME?

I will find you, and I will kill you.

8. Does anyone have any Netflix recommendations?

Since i've watched 5 different shows with multiple seasons, I'm out of ideas. Please help a girl out.

9. I think I coughed up a lung.

I seriously think my lungs are collapsing. My cough could cause an earthquake. (Still hitting the juul though)

10. What is social interaction?

The last time anyone physically spoke to me was..... yeah. DAYS.


I have never hated anything more than the flu as of right now. Okay, maybe the flu and my ex-boyfriend are tied. Shoutout to all the people sufforing through the plague right now, i feel you pain. Do us all a favor and stay home though.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
