No college student is a stranger to being sick, but when it happens during finals week when stress is at its peak? No thank you. Luckily, the Fab Five are here (in GIF format, anyway) to provide you some wholesomeness and joy in this trying time (by the way, if you haven't watched Netflix's new original series "Queer Eye" yet, then you're seriously missing out). The show promotes ways for people to be the best versions of themselves that they can be, so sit back with your hot tea and cough drops to take a break from studying!

1. When you start feeling a scratch in your throat in the middle of your notes and you realize the ride you're about to be in for

BRB, on my way to get all the Vitamin C.

2. When people start commenting on your ailing appearance

I'm talking paleness on top of undereye bags from those all-nighters you've been pulling recently.

3. When you gather all the medicine you can find to help your symptoms and hit the cash register

Don't even get me started on how expensive the brand names are. Too bad I can't sell my textbooks back yet.

4. When you try to drink beverages better suited to help your sickness rather than that large coffee you've been eyeing

"I'll get a coffee now and drink plenty of water later!" is the biggest lie you'll tell yourself.

5. When you hit up your mom for health solutions

I need to do WHAT now!?

6. When you try to figure out how to get all your final projects done while still trying to get enough sleep to feel better

There is not enough time in the day nor remedies in the world.

7. When you look up and realize you're in a sea of notes, syllabi, and tissues

I swear I JUST took the garbage out.

8. When you try to maintain a positive attitude after a day of sniffling and shuffling around campus even though all you want to do is crawl into bed

This will last approximately five more seconds when you finally arrive back home and all, but then you'll collapse on the nearest surface.

9. When you try to convince yourself that you'll be fine on the exam if you nap instead of study

I wish this only happened when I was sick, but sometimes naps seem too good to pass up.

10. When your family/friends bring you things to make you feel better

Except you may opt for giving them an air hug instead if you're trying to isolate your contaminants.

11. When you say goodbye to your last two cares in the world and just try to do your best with what you have

Don't let the mess trip you on the way out!

P.S., I know it is easier said than done, but sometimes you just have to realize carrying all that stress isn't doing your health any good! Put effort into your work and try to get a good grade, but remember that it's not the end of the world if you have to retake the class.

12. When you finally start to feel better

I feel BRAND NEW! Wait, still a little bit dizzy.

13. When the week is finally over and its time for a well-deserved rest

Now that you're all done, kick back with the Fab Five and rest your body up before the next term starts.

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.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. 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.
