Sometimes the only doctor (you think you have ) is yourself.

The Phases of Being Sick In School
www.memecenter.com

When you're away in school and become sick, there are certain things you realize about the process. You might wish you were home being taken care of by your parents, or that it was easy to just pay a visit to your familiar doctor, and you'll probably wish that you had all your normal home remedies to get better. You'll probably relate to all these scenarios when it comes to being sick in school.

1. If one person in your class coughs, there is a good chance that the entire class will be infected.

2. Without the care and reassurance of your parents and physician, sometimes your only option is self diagnosis from Google results.

3. This self diagnosis will often come as a result of WebMD. If all your symptoms match then you'll probably end up thinking you have something much worse than it actually is.


4. The only way to get better is to buy all possible remedies within reach. By the time you're done being sick, you'll be beyond prepared for any future illnesses.

5. Accomplishing anything, other than getting out of bed for medicine and food or changing your position on the couch, will be nearly impossible.

6. But when you finally have the energy to attempt to be productive, you dress and protect yourself in anyway possible to prevent yourself from getting worse.

7. Dealing with the side effects in class can also be one of the most difficult parts of being sick in school. After a few coughs, you begin to feel self conscious from all the piercing stares.

8. There's always a little bit of regret after being sick, such as wishing you wore another layer or just took care of yourself a little better.

9. And as if coughing excessively wasn't bad enough, your nose can't give you a break either.

10. After a full recovery of being sick and miserable you can't take any chances of getting sick again -so you take every precaution necessary.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
