When you're in college, it's inevitable that you're going to end up getting sick. I've provided a list of thing to do to help you get better. You're welcome.

1. Sleep!!!

When sick, literally the best thing you can do for your body is sleep. It helps you fight off the virus and allows you get better faster.

2. Drink water

Hydrating yourself is key. It'll help flush out all the bad (some good as well), but it's also a good way to make sure you don't sweat out all your fluids if you're running a fever.

3. Take medicine

Honestly, if you aren't taking medicine when you're sick, you're just making your odds even worse. If there's one thing you should do when sick, this is it. It will shorten the amount your sick for and will help you feel better during the day.

4. Drink tea

Tea is your BEST FRIEND when sick, especially if you have a sore throat. The heat of the tea will soothe the inflammation and make it easier to talk.

5. COUGH DROPSSS!

Cough drops not only prevent you from coughing, but they also lubricate your throat. If your throat is dry (aka you have a sore throat) cough drops will save the day. Every. Single. Time.

6. Take hot showers

If your sinuses are backed up, and you cannot breathe through your nose, a hot shower will do you some good. It'll clear up the snot.

7. Go outside

Most people don't know this, but going outside is really healthy for you when sick. Not only do you get Vitamin D from the sun, but it also helps clear up your senses. Staying inside all day will surely leave you feeling stuffy.

8. Eat

Even if you don't eat something healthy, you need to eat. Most people when sick don't feel like eating. It's detrimental to your health if you don't. Your body needs sustenance, especially if you're already down.

So there you have it, my dudes. Stay healthy, and as always, go Bulls!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

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. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
