It's that time of season again.

It's the changing of Summer into Fall and Fall into Winter. It's getting colder out and allergy season is slowly withering away. People are getting sick left to right, and you're wondering when you'll be next. I became ill about a week and a half ago with an itchy throat and coughs. Then, last weekend, I got the stomach flu and the flu. As much as I love sleeping and my bed, it wasn't fun. I'm still feeling under the weather and will probably feel this way for a few more days, but just because I and many others are getting sick, doesn't mean you have to!

Here are 11 ways to help yourself not to get sick.

1. Drink plenty of fluids

2. Get more sleep

3. Exercise, whether it's walking, running, cardio, yoga, dance, you name it

4. Vitamin C

5. Take time for yourself

6. Clean your room, apartment, house, or any space of living

7. Get your flu shot!

8. Make sure you eat right according to yourself

9. Wash your hands in warm water with soap

10. Get some fresh air

11. Smile, laugh and be happy

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home.
