I rarely get sick, but when I do it hits me hard and can even go on for days. Unlike like others, I don't like slopping around in bed being unproductive. Instead, I get up and either go to school or run errands, which may not the right thing to do, but I do it anyways. Here are some reasons why being sick sucks!

1. Looking like you're dead

Being sick means you'll look almost dead by your pale face, wrinkly eyes, and, of course, runny red nose.

2. Doing your work

Doing your work at home, even though you might be too sick or not focused enoughto even do it.

3. You have to call/email people that you're sick

Having to avoid people at all costs.

4. Taking medicine

Having to take medicine, which can turn out to taste nasty or good, but usually is nasty in flavor.

5. Trying to figure out how/ who got you sick

Is it your fault or someone else's?

6. Having a runny nose

Having to use up all your toilet or tissue paper and having it lie in a big pile next to you, knowing that you will run out of it and will need more soon!

7. Going to the Doctor

Most people do not like going to visit their doctor.

8. Feeling cold/hot

Being frustrated because you can't tell whether you're hot or cold.

But when you feel better, you can be glad and appreciate more of your health. Trust me, being sick for more than one day can be stressful and annoying. So don't be like me and stay home, this way you will keep others from being sick as well.

Helpful tip: Wash your hands frequently, always get a good night's rest, and take your vitamin C!
