5 Things You Have to Do When You're Sick

Cold season is fast upon us and when you're avoiding social obligations and school obligations because you are on your deathbed, there are a few ways to kill some time.

1. Sleep 

Doctors orders! When you're sick the best way to waste time is to sleep! Plus sleeping will actually help your sickness- I think? I'm not a doctor. Consultant you're physician.

2. Drink Water

Water is good people! Not only did it give Khole Kardashian her revenge body but it also helps flush out toxins that make you sick! You will be peeing every thirty seconds but some things are worth multiple bathrooms breaks.

3. Eat some soup 

I know what you're thinking- soup is disgusting! I know. But ramen is pretty much really cheap soup, right? There's broth and there's noodles and there's a packet of rare, exotic spices so that should work. Eat some soup (ramen) and let the warm vapors cure your ailments.

4. You Whine (A Lot!)

What's the best part of being sick? Whining incessantly and making sure everyone around you knows how miserable you are? CERTAINLY! Make sure to play up your illness at work, home and your local Arbys- there might be a free roast beef sandwich in it for ya!

5. Not die

Really that's the only thing you have to do when you're sick. You've got your pets and your Tinder account to think about- don't let germs kill you and you're already doing better than 90% of the human race during the Middle Ages- good for you!

Being sick is a drag but if you follow these helpful steps than you will not die and you might just come out the other side a better hydrated and more whiney person!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
