No matter how many times you wash your hands, how many people you avoid, or how many things in your dorm that you sanitize, it's bound to happen: You will get sick. The plague goes around the school at that one particular time in the semester. Whether it's just a cold or the terrible flu, it's entirely out of your hands.

And what's even worse than being sick? Being sick at school, still forcing yourself to suffer through homework and struggle to get to class when all you want to do is stay in bed. You know it'll be over in a week or so, but until then, you'll suffer and complain about it. We all do it. Here are just 20 thoughts you'll probably have as you struggle to reach the end of your sickness:

1. "Who did this to me?"

2. "I need to call my mom — I need my mom."

3. "I think I can skip this class... but I can't skip that class."

4. "I need to blow my nose but then everyone will look at me..."

5. *Blows nose in class* "I am... so sorry."

6. "Don't sneeze. Don't sneeze. Don't —"

7. "Are these cough drops even helping?"

8. "I miss being able to breathe." *sniffles*

9. "Is it a bad idea to drink coffee right now?..."

10. "Did I take NyQuil... instead of DayQuil?"

11. "How bad do I look? I don't want to know."

12. "Where can I get soup around here?"

13. "Why is the school store out of DayQuil and NyQuil?!"

14. "Am I dying? I think I'm dying."

15. "I just want to sleep..."

16. "How am I suppose to do homework when I'm dying!?"

17. "My roommate is so screwed next week."

18. "If I could stop sneezing - or coughing - or anything really - that would be cool."

19. 'What did I do to deserve this!? I'm a good — well, decent — person!"

20. "Wait I think I'm getting better... Oh... nevermind."

Don't worry though, you'll survive.
