Too sick for school.

Being in college, in and of itself, is filled with good and bad experiences. However, I can undoubtedly say that being sick while during school has by far been one of the worse experiences I have ever had.

1. You can't keep up

As hard as it is to keep up with college while healthy, it so much harder while you're sick. You can't read with your head pounding. You can't work with the constantly coughing and sneezing. But, on top if it all you can't even rest and get better, because you will definitely get behind in your school work.

2. Every little thing annoys you

When you're sick all you want is a cup of soup, a nice warm bed, your water filter and juice to always be filled. However, sometimes your roommate remembers to fill it up and sometimes she forgets. However, when you sick and it her turn, IT. IS, SO. ANNOYING.

3. You don't know how to figure out what's wrong with you

Yes you can make an appointment at a clinic, but it's really hard to fit that into you life with the classes, the studying, reading, and everything else. There really isn't any time for a trip all the way across campus. So, you just hope it's not anything too serious.

4. Medicine Costs WAY more than you want to pay

Between housing, tuition, and textbooks, I don't really want to way even a penny more for a check up or medicine.

5. You want to go home

Home is far away, your parents are far away, everything is so far away. So, you end up just having to lay in your bed surrounding by loud, screaming, college kids and suffer.

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.
