14 Thoughts We All Have When We're Feeling Sick
HowItWorksDaily

It's that time of year: Dodging everyone that's coughing and sneezing, stocking up on vitamin C and praying you don't catch anything. But then next thing you know, BAM! You're sick, too. Here are 14 thoughts we all have while we're sick.

1. *Sneezes* No no, I am not getting sick. I am not letting myself get sick.

2. *Wakes up with a sore throat and runny nose* Wonderful, just wonderful.

3. I guess I have an excuse to lay around all day.

4. I wonder if my mom will go get me ice cream.

5. Score! She said yes.

6. Great, I can't even taste it.

7. How many times can one person sneeze in a row?

8. I am a total mouth breather right now.

9. Time to coat my chest in VapoRub.

10. I should be conscious of my health and get better the natural way, but that NyQuil is sounding way too good.

11. I've already gone through two boxes of tissues.

12. *Goes into the bathroom* I look straight out of The Walking Dead.

13. I've been blowing my nose so much I think I'm starting to see brain in my tissue.

14. Time to curl up in the fetal position, goodnight world.

This is for all of those who are sick the first week of 2017. Feel better!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
