7 Stages Of Having The Flu At College

Sorority rush seems to be a great way to spread illnesses such as the flu. I was one of the unlikely people who was affected by the flu during the first week of classes. I am currently still playing catch-up trying to make up for my unfortunate sick days. For every freshman in college who has the flu in a dorm, here are the seven stages of the flu while living in a college dorm.

1. I should've taken more Emergen-C

Giphy

Maybe if I was more proactive I would not be sick right now.

2. Should I go to Student Health?

Giphy

They will probably just tell me to take Tylenol.

3. I really miss my mom

Giphy

She would make me some yummy soup if I was home right now.

4. I haven't eaten real food in 3 days, is that okay?

Giphy

Living off Boom Chicka Pop probably isn't healthy, but I'm definitely not going to the dining hall with the flu.

5. My professor probably thinks I'm hungover since it is syllabus week

Giphy

Yes, maybe some people are partying during syllabus week, but for me, a party with the flu is eating tomato soup in bed watching Gossip Girl.

6. My roommate hates me

Coughing up mucus and sniffling every 40 seconds isn't exactly what every roommate wants to hear.

7. Okay I've spent 3 days in bed, I should probably go to class now

Giphy

I'll only go to class if I Uber there with a box of tissues and can wear sweatpants.

Everyone, wash your hands during rush.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

1426

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
