Stages Of Sickness In College

Being in college is great -- you get the freedom you want and have fun times with the best friends you constantly hang out with. But all of that comes to a close with the start of one sneeze that you hear across the room. Don't get me wrong, but being sick in college is possibly the worst thing that can ever happen to you, asides from failing or withdrawing from the class that you absolutely hate. Winter is over and spring is in the air. The flowers bloom, the plants start to pollinate, and the germs -- well, they begin to spread. Being in college is great and all, but when sickness rolls around, that changes the whole experience.


1. You mind your own business and start to have a great time with your friends.

You are ahead of your schedule. You are on your game. Everyone around you parties just like you and your party-mode just doesn't have an off button.

2. The Sneeze Heard Around the Lecture.

Next day in lecture, everything is great until you hear that one person sneezing. Beware, it's the start of a plague.

3. You are starting to show some symptoms -- but you figure out you're fine.

There could be a chance that the germs from that one person could've traveled through the air and out of nowhere, but the sneeze particles decide to choose you as your next victim. But you care less, because a few sniffles can't be as bad.

4. A few hours later, you realize that you are really sick and pretty sure things will get even worse from there. But you still decide to ignore it anyway.

5. You try to take some early medication, but you realize at this point, it's too late.

6. Very soon later that night, everything gets worse and you realize that there is no going back.

And your roommate will be covering themselves from head to toe so that they don't catch your germs.

7. At this point, you've given up and you decide to endure it.

You decide to call your mom, because taking care of yourself when you're sick is something you probably haven't done and you need desperate help.

8. The next day, you head into class and people next to you make sure to sit at least two seats from you in all directions to avoid your sickness as much as possible.

"Is anyone sitting here?"

"Yes, my germs." *Proceeds to sneeze*

9. You are truly sick at this point. You feel weak and you need a savior. So you turn to your roommate and ask them for help.

This is a very hard decision for the roommate because you know you hate them and they hate you (unless if you are really good friends with your roommate). However, they show some sympathy and decide to take you to the hospital.


10. You are going to turn religious at this point, hoping some miracle would happen to make you feel better.

Yet again, the next day, you feel a lot better.

11. You made everyone else sick.

What happened to the guy you always talk to? Maybe, just maybe, you might have passed on something to him.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
