Being sick sucks. Being sick in college sucks worse. You're surrounded by people, most likely sick or even sicker than you are, you have no idea what to do to make yourself better, you don't want to go to class but you can't afford to miss class, and any facility that would have any substance required to kick your illness's butt (ex. Dayquil, Mucinex, Advil, or at the very least good ol' fashioned OJ) is just too far away to be worth going to in the state you're in. Despite all of that, you are bound to get in sick in college and these are the inevitable thoughts you will have when it happens.

1. I am dying.

2. No really, this is a death cold (note: actual medical term).

3. Can people still die from colds?

4. I am almost 100% positive this will kill me.

5. How did I even get sick again? I just got back to school

6. I have to go to class.

7. How do I even get to class? I can't get out of bed to get the OJ

8. Do I really even need to go to class?...

9. Yes, go to class

10. Wait, what are the attendance policies?

11. Wow, I really should have listened on syllabus day

12. Ugh, I don't feel like going through the syllabus, I'll just go to class.

13. Will more meds make me feel better?

14. Am I taking the right meds?

15. Maybe my roommate will know.

16. Ooh, maybe SHE knows my attendance policies...

17. Oh no, what if she gets sick?

18. We can't both be sick.

19. Will we be in a perpetual state of sickness if we both continuously pass each other the cold?

20. OMG, they'll have to turn 305 into a hazard zone.

21. Oh crap, still haven't figured out the class situation.

22. If I go do I bring the whole box of tissues, or just some?

23. Is it even worth it walk all the way over there?

24. Who would know how to help me?

25. OH MY GOSH. I am calling Mom.
