10 Relatable Moments For When You Are Sick
Kathryn McSherry

It’s final season and you know what that means! Yep! It’s sickness time!

Over the past week now, I have been developing a cough. The cough eventually turned into a sore throat and is now a full-blown snotty, runny, ridiculous cold.

And I have a lot of feelings about it.

So here I am, drinking some tea under a fuzzy blanket, watching the snow fall out my window (because upstate New York never takes a break from the cold weather) and writing this article for all of you.

Here are 10 relatable moments for when you are sick.

1. You wake up with that feeling of a sore throat.

And think to yourself “oh nooooOOooooOOOO!”

2. You begin to down tea, Dayquil, and cough drops' like there is no tomorrow.

Give me all the drugs.

3. But then you realize that sickness is inevitable.

And that everyone else on your floor is feeling the same way.

4. So you hope for the best.

Nap time 24/7.

5. But then you start to question if the cold medicine is actually making things worse for you.

Hmmmm.

6. So you stop taking the medicine and try some home remedies.

Hopefully, the inter-webs won’t do you wrong.

7. And then you know you’re sick and spend that morning in bed just like ughhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHH.

Relatable content right here folks.

8. Then you realize you have a test and forgot your tissue box in your dorm so you have to deal with your runny nose the whole time.

And it doesn’t. Stop. Running.

9. And then the sneezes come.

Three, four, five times in a row.

10. And then it’s gone. Yay!!!!


Bless this nose and the fact that I can breathe normally again.

All in all, I hate being sick.

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.
