Illness is spreading around Brockport Campus like the plague and I am sure I am not the only one that feels like poop. I have been sick the past couple days and all I want to do is sleep. The sickness has left me so bitter I decided to write about it this week. Let me know in the comments if there is anything that you hate while being sick!

1.No warm hugs.

The one thing that would make me feel better right now is a hug from friends and family, BUT I don't want to get anyone else sick, so only hugs from my teddy bear for the next week or so.

2. Walking on the stairs or long distance.

I (figuratively) die. I do not have the ability to walk up stairs anymore. I feel like an old lady as I'm panting like a dog after walking up 10 stairs and cough uncontrollably.

3.Speaking of coughing... random coughing fits.

They happen everywhere! In my room, at work, and in the middle of class. Which is always follow by someone near me giving me the weirdest ever and asking "you okay".

4. I can't eat anything.

I am never hungry when I'm sick, so I don't get to enjoy my favorite thing in the entire world, food!

5. Cold medicine is the worst.

I like to use the liquid medicine because I feel the most immediate affect, but actually taking it is a struggle. It takes about twenty minutes of staring at the cup I pored myself and telling myself I can do it to get it down.

6. Not being able to spend as much time with friends.

I only have enough energy to do what is necessary and as much as I would love to spend time with my friends, sometimes I have to choose between friend time and sleep time.

7. Not being able to breathe.

I am at a point where I have to keep my mouth open to breath. I feel really bad to the people in class with me because I feel like I breath twice as loud.

8. Random sinus headaches.

I get so congested at points my head feels like it is in a fog. With midterms coming up next week, I really hope I get better soon.
