You have something medically weird happening to your body that has never happened before. What is the worst thing you could do? Google it. What do you really do? You google it of course. Here are 11 thoughts that run through your head while googling this mystery Illness.

1. How do I put this into words?

2. Wikipedia is a good site right? It must be.

3. This person said she had the same thing I do, but hers has redness. I didn't think that mine had redness at first, but now that ya mention it...

4. The username is meddoc411 so they must be reliable.

5. So I have cancer? I am not living my life to the fullest.


6. Is WebMD reliable?

7. Oh, so I can write what my symptoms are in this box, give them my email, and a real doctor will tell me what is wrong? Great!

8. Wait, now they are wanting me to pay for this?

9. Oh here is a free one that I can get a reply on.

10. That's good, it says they will reply in hours.

    • 11. *72 hours later* Well, I still haven't gotten a reply on what is wrong with me. Glad I didn't die.

    New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

    And so it begins.

    1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

    December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
