Sometimes the only doctor (you think you have ) is yourself.

The Phases of Being Sick In School
www.memecenter.com

When you're away in school and become sick, there are certain things you realize about the process. You might wish you were home being taken care of by your parents, or that it was easy to just pay a visit to your familiar doctor, and you'll probably wish that you had all your normal home remedies to get better. You'll probably relate to all these scenarios when it comes to being sick in school.

1. If one person in your class coughs, there is a good chance that the entire class will be infected.

2. Without the care and reassurance of your parents and physician, sometimes your only option is self diagnosis from Google results.

3. This self diagnosis will often come as a result of WebMD. If all your symptoms match then you'll probably end up thinking you have something much worse than it actually is.


4. The only way to get better is to buy all possible remedies within reach. By the time you're done being sick, you'll be beyond prepared for any future illnesses.

5. Accomplishing anything, other than getting out of bed for medicine and food or changing your position on the couch, will be nearly impossible.

6. But when you finally have the energy to attempt to be productive, you dress and protect yourself in anyway possible to prevent yourself from getting worse.

7. Dealing with the side effects in class can also be one of the most difficult parts of being sick in school. After a few coughs, you begin to feel self conscious from all the piercing stares.

8. There's always a little bit of regret after being sick, such as wishing you wore another layer or just took care of yourself a little better.

9. And as if coughing excessively wasn't bad enough, your nose can't give you a break either.

10. After a full recovery of being sick and miserable you can't take any chances of getting sick again -so you take every precaution necessary.

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.
