There's no way you can escape a school year at college without getting sick once. You can try your very hardest to fight back against the flus, colds, and allergies, but it's bound to happen at one point or another. Every student knows the stages of being sick in college.
1. When you try to avoid getting sick at all costs because you do NOT have time for that
2. When you can first feel the sickness coming on
3. When the first signs start to truly show
4. When you're in full-fledged denial
5. When you think you can handle it
6. When it finally hits you and you just want your mom
7. When the symptoms slowly get worse...
...And worse...
...And worse.
8. When you look up your symptoms on the Internet and accept your ultimate fate
9. When you've still got to go to class
10. When you start feeling better
11. When you're finally able to breathe again without everything hurting
12. When you can finally leave your bedroom cocoon of sickness and the world just seems so much bigger, brighter
Until next year, flu season... until next year.
