You've seen it everywhere, the plague has hit North America and is sweeping across the country infecting everyone it touches. If you are lucky, you've avoided the plague, more commonly known as the flu, like it's your job. But, some of us are not so lucky. Nothing is worse than having the flu and having to miss class and life for a week straight. Here are ten thoughts I had while i was laying in bed dying from the flu.

1. Am I going to die?

I have never been so sick in my life.

2. Can I get a doctor's note?

These better be excused absences.

3. Can I drink with this medicine?

Four loko is basically cough syrup, right?

4. It's been 17 hours, 21 minutes and 13 seconds since i've left my house. Help.

What is the sun? LMK because i have not seen in in years.

5. What do I do when my mom isn't here to take care of me?

Mom help, I'm sick. I need soup and love.

6. Can someone bring me food?

I'm not even hungry but I just want someone to talk to and food is the only way to lure people into my germ infested room.

7. WHO DID THIS TO ME?

I will find you, and I will kill you.

8. Does anyone have any Netflix recommendations?

Since i've watched 5 different shows with multiple seasons, I'm out of ideas. Please help a girl out.

9. I think I coughed up a lung.

I seriously think my lungs are collapsing. My cough could cause an earthquake. (Still hitting the juul though)

10. What is social interaction?

The last time anyone physically spoke to me was..... yeah. DAYS.


I have never hated anything more than the flu as of right now. Okay, maybe the flu and my ex-boyfriend are tied. Shoutout to all the people sufforing through the plague right now, i feel you pain. Do us all a favor and stay home though.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
