Being sick in college is honestly completely miserable. You already have enough to juggle, but when your body decides to be weak, you don't even have your mom to hold on to. Here's my latest experience being sick told by Sheldon Cooper.

1. Everyone on campus seems to be sick.

You wash your hands and avoid anyone and everyone who looks slightly sick.

2. Realize that a cold is coming on.

Just when you think that you made it through flu season, you swallow and suddenly your throat starts hurting and behind your nose aches.

3. Pray that you have medicine in your room.

Maybe there's an Advil in here from when mom made me bring a medicine cabinet freshman year?

4. Understand that you are nowhere near being prepared.

This is honestly the worst week to be sick.

5. Call your mom.

Can you send a care package with all the medicines I need? (Please put yourself in there.)

6. Taking that Advil you found in the bottom of your backpack.

Uh, I'm pretty sure that was medicine.

7. Wonder if you should call a doctor.

I'm not entirely sure my snot looks normal.

8. Decide not to visit a doctor because you honestly can't miss another class.

That test is definitely not going to be postponed and those papers aren't going to turn themselves in.

9. Miss class anyway.

So to pass, I just need to get an A on everything else. Okay, okay.

10. Cancel all your social plans.

It stinks cause they are mostly things you actually want to go to.

11. Let the medicine kick in.

I feel on top of the world!

12. Decide that being sick isn't so bad.

Netflix marathons are great (until the show is canceled midseason and you didn't know).

13. Realize that the only thing you've eaten in the last 24 hours is ice cream and soup.

One time my mom said to eat honey and sprite, but the ice cream feels better.

14. Thank your roommate for being your mom away from mom.

Honestly, you wouldn't remember your mom's home remedies without her.

15. Start feeling better.

IT'S OVER!

Congratulations! You survived being sick in college! (Good luck with everything else...)

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
