15 Things All Seasonal Allergy Suffers Want You To Know

Spring = Death. Well at least for those that suffer with seasonal allergies. It's a really hard time and we struggle through it every year. Oftentimes those that don't suffer make the same frequent comments or ask the same questions. Us allergy suffers want you to know these things before you ask us the same old questions and make the same old comments.

1. The sight of blooming trees make us want to sneeze.

2. We are jealous of those that can sit outside all day.

3. We sit outside for an hour and we start sneezing.

4. We sit in the grass and immediately start to feel itchy.

5. Really participating in any outdoor activity is a bad idea.

7. We ALWAYS have to shower after being outside.

8. Rain is a double-edged sword.

We want it to rain to wash away the pollen, but the rain makes plants pollinate more. It really is a double-edged sword.

10. We go through boxes and boxes of tissues.

11. We just want to sleep all the time.

https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-sleeping-1497855/

We have to take benadryl in the mornings a lot which leaves us feeling drowsy throughout the day. Also, we just want to sleep because it's better than staying awake and suffering.

12. We can't focus.

Try getting schoolwork done while you have to blow your nose every 30 seconds. Also it's hard to focus when your eyes are non-stop itching and burning.

13. People constantly ask us if we are sick.

For the THOUSANDTH time, no. I have allergies and am not contagious.

14. People constantly ask us if we are high.

Again, we are not high. We can't help that allergies make our eyes red and dry.

15. We just can't do much about it and have to struggle through spring.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
