11 Times Spring Allergies Ruin Lives, And I Can't Stress This Enough

In This Article:

When spring rolls around, it's not even worth it to go outside anymore. Seasonal allergies make springtime completely unenjoyable. If you're someone who is legitimately allergic to everything, this one is for you.

1. The morning sneeze attack 

Counting how many times you sneeze in a row is a competition you have with yourself daily

2. Itchy eyes

When you drown your eyes in water because they are so itchy you're convinced there is pollen in them.

3. The sniffles

In a silent room you can always tell who has seasonal allergies.

4. Having to explain your allergies

Spring allergies, and I cannot stress this enough, ruin lives.

2. The sneeze attack in public

When you can't stop sneezing in public and all eyes are on you.

6. Hives

There's nothing like trying to enjoy the great outdoors...only to break out in hives.

7. Becoming a tissue connoisseur  

Making sure there is a tissue in every bag and jacket pocket is essential to survive allergy season.

8. When you're friends ask you if you're sick

"I swear I'm not going to get you sick it's just allergies."

9. Religiously taking allergy medicine

Even though the meds don't usually help, it's the thought that counts.

10. Benadryl 

There are just days you simply cannot live without Benadyrl. Hush, hush allergies, it's time for you to go to sleep.

11. Hating spring

There's just no way someone with seasonal allergies can enjoy spring. It's too painful.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
