11 Things That Happen When You're Sick
Cos-H

It's back to school season and it's everyone's favorite time. The time where we are suddenly surrounded by new people which also translates to new germs that wreak havoc on our bodies. Here's 11 Things That Happen When You're Sick (as told by someone who is currently coughing her lungs out):

1.) You wonder, "Why me? Why did I have to get sick? I file my taxes and floss. I'm a good person!"


2.) You lay in bed and wither in your sickness.

3.) You start to google your symptoms and deduce that you must have this extremely rare form of a disease that will ultimately kill you.


4.) You think of all the things you have to do this week. You remember that classes have to happen and that you've used all your skips for sleeping, doing homework you procrastinated, or Starbucks.


5.) You call your Mom/Dad/Grandparent/Person Who Fed You Soup When You Were a Child and ask them what to do.


6.) You take the medicine your mom told you to take and suddenly you magnificent.


7.) For all of 2 hours. Then you crash. Hard.


8.) You then start to think of everyone who could have given you this disease. You begin crafting a hitlist.


9.) You suffer in agony for a few days and then- what is that? A light? A rainbow at the end of the tunnel?!


10.) You then wake up the next day. Feeling worse. :-) Oh why did you lie to me, immune system? Who gave you the right?


11.) Eventually, you get better. Just to get sick not even a few weeks later. Happy back to school season!

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.
