Students wait months for spring break. It’s the one thing that keeps us going until the end of the semester, and without it I’m sure there would be twice as many mental breakdowns on campus than usual. Well, I waited for spring break just like the rest of the students, but when I got home for break I discovered I brought the flu home. Great! So, while I was stuck to the bed, I came up with eight things you can do when you’re home with the flu on spring break.

1. Cry because it’s spring break, and you have the flu.

No one wants to spend spring break sick, stuck inside while everyone else hits the nearest beach.

2. Stock up on food and drinks you can’t afford while at college.

Best to get your family to buy you a bunch of drinks and food while you’re there. Grab some fruit, sports drinks, cold medicine, etc.

3. Lay…everywhere.

Lay on the couch, the bed, the floor, and wonder what life would be like outside without the flu.

4. Read

This is the best time to read everything you couldn’t while struggling through the semester.

5. Binge! Binge! Binge!

Watch everything they have to offer on Netflix and don’t move for days. You deserve this. I'm watching Schitt's Creek and highly recommend it.

6. Sleep.

You need your rest while you’re sick, and what else do you have to do but lay around and catch up on the hours of sleep you lost at college.
