Somehow, I made it through all of my childhood without getting pink eye. But now, as a college kid, I have experienced what it's like. And let me tell you, it is not fun. In fact, I pink (think) that having pink eye was absolutely terrible. (Sorry, I promise there are no more puns in this article. I think.)

1. Feeling an inexplicable pain in your eye.

Did I scratch it? What is happening? Maybe I should go look at it in a mirror...

2. Looking (pun intended) in the mirror afterward.

"OH MY GOSH WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?"

3. Grimacing at yo nasty reflection.

Because one's eye should never match one's lipstick.

4. Becoming completely useless.

"Hey, would you mind driving me to Walgreens to get my eye drops? I'm not sure I should be driving LOL."

5. Tearing up when you put in eye drops.

It's like you're watching the beginning of Up, or whatever it is that makes you cry. (Although, to be fair, if you didn't cry in the beginning of Up, you are probably a monster).

6. Getting weird looks from your friends.

It's super casual. Don't mind me. Just blinking my eye profusely and trying not to touch it.

7. Disappearing from your classes like a magician.

As a kid, you weren't allowed to go anywhere with pink eye. Somehow it's different for adults, but it still might keep you home from your 8 a.m. classes.

8. Becoming an expert from your social media stalking.

Forgive me if I mention that trip you took to the zoo last year or those dope pics of your jack-o-lantern from the fall.

9. Hiding yourself from your crush.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

10. Anticipating the return of your good health.

Because it's almost finals and you don't have the time to attempt putting in eye drops for half an hour because you have terrible aim. #EyeDropItLikeItsHot (I swear, that's the last pun).

11. Looking on the bright side.

I'm going to miss you, pink eye.

Just kidding. You suck. Please never come back.

Sincerely,

I'm Sorry I Lied about Having No More Puns in my Article

(No I'm not. #sorrynotsorry)
