7 Things To Do When You Are Sick As A Dog
Everyday Feminism

Having a cold has to be one of the most annoying things ever. Like who genuinely enjoys having cold flashes, a runny nose, or an itchy throat? No one. Not only do you feel absolutely disgusting, but you cannot get anything done without sneezing, coughing, or throwing up. I have been sick for the past week and I am feeling completely useless.

I am one of those people who hates not being in a routine. There’s nothing that makes me more anxious than not being in class or at work; after all, every teacher and professor says success starts with attendance, right? Well, the doctor is in and I have created a list of 8 things you can check off your list while you are sick!

1. Netflix and chill. Literally!

2. Catch up on sleep so you are ready to take on those assignments when you’re healthy.


You’re sick for a reason - Your body is telling you it’s tired!

3. Do some online shopping for those purchases you were going to make.


Amazon Prime is a beautiful thing, ladies and gentlemen.

4. Write out your plan-of-action for the next couple of weeks.


Figure out when you’re going to tackle that huge mess in the dining room and when you’re going to reschedule your pedicure.

5. Get ahold of that book or magazine article you’ve been dying to read and dive in.

Educate yourself!

6. If you’re really feeling unproductive (and desperate for human interaction), Skype or FaceTime with your friends, classmates, and co-workers.

7. Explore Apple Music and listen to some new artists and songs.

Music truly heals the soul!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
