Getting sick is something everyone complains about.

You avoid it in every way you can, but on a college campus it's basically inevitable. You'll find yourself coming down with the plague in order of these steps.

Prepare yourself, kids.

1. You're Actually Healthy Coming To Campus

"It's a new school year, NOTHING can stop me*!!!!!" *Except the plague

2. You Hear A Rumor People Are Getting Sick

*Frantically wipes down every surface and hides in dorm*

3. You Go Out And Buy Hand Sanitizer For Those In-Between Washes

99.99% of germs aren't staying on these hands.

4. Someone You Know Gets Sick

I love you, but you're actually disgusting.

5. A Professor Gets Sick

The best email you'll ever get is finding out class is canceled.

6. YOU Get Sick

You miss one MWF class and somehow you're behind in your TR classes, too.

7. When The Health Center Does Absolutely NOTHING To Help You

Hate to break it to you, but taking my temperature and giving me Benadryl doesn't make the flu go away.

8. When You Finally Start To Feel Better

"I CAN SMELL AGAIN!"

9. When You Hear Rumors Of The Next Plague

"Maybe if I just stay inside forever I won't get sick."
