5 Things You Have to Do When You're Sick

Cold season is fast upon us and when you're avoiding social obligations and school obligations because you are on your deathbed, there are a few ways to kill some time.

1. Sleep 

Doctors orders! When you're sick the best way to waste time is to sleep! Plus sleeping will actually help your sickness- I think? I'm not a doctor. Consultant you're physician.

2. Drink Water

Water is good people! Not only did it give Khole Kardashian her revenge body but it also helps flush out toxins that make you sick! You will be peeing every thirty seconds but some things are worth multiple bathrooms breaks.

3. Eat some soup 

I know what you're thinking- soup is disgusting! I know. But ramen is pretty much really cheap soup, right? There's broth and there's noodles and there's a packet of rare, exotic spices so that should work. Eat some soup (ramen) and let the warm vapors cure your ailments.

4. You Whine (A Lot!)

What's the best part of being sick? Whining incessantly and making sure everyone around you knows how miserable you are? CERTAINLY! Make sure to play up your illness at work, home and your local Arbys- there might be a free roast beef sandwich in it for ya!

5. Not die

Really that's the only thing you have to do when you're sick. You've got your pets and your Tinder account to think about- don't let germs kill you and you're already doing better than 90% of the human race during the Middle Ages- good for you!

Being sick is a drag but if you follow these helpful steps than you will not die and you might just come out the other side a better hydrated and more whiney person!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
