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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
