Who has time to get sick?
As a college student, I am constantly going. In addition to my classes, work, and my internship, I still have to find time to actually do my homework, my housework and give manage to give my animals attention. There are not enough hours in the day to get everything done. Most days, it’s a serious struggle balancing all my responsibilities.
My body decided this week that I needed a couple days off. I showed signs of a fever early on this week. With the flu being so bad this year, I couldn’t take any chances and had to scurry right into urgent care. I was told I had strep and that I had to take the next day off. Every single time I'm sick, I always sit and think about what I should be doing, what I would rather be doing, and what I could be doing. I know I am not the only one. These are some of my recent sick day thoughts, as told by gifs:
1) At least I get to sleep in.
2) I am literally boiling alive. Why is my bedroom a sauna?
3) Why is my house -50 degrees?!
4) I have to write two papers, study for an exam, read a few chapters and do discussion posts somehow today.
5) I am so tired. Am I tired because I'm sick or am I tired because I've slept 17 hours? Hm...
6) I need someone to take care of me.
7) But don't talk to me. Why are you still trying to make me talk?
8) I'll just watch some Disney movies to pass the time.
9) Everything is so messy. Maybe I should try to get something done today.
10) Uhh, nope. Definitely don't have enough energy for that. Maybe it's time to go back to bed.
