Two weeks into school and I've already gotten my first cold. And because my brain feels like it's been stuffed full of cotton, I can't seem to focus on anything but my cold at the moment. So naturally, I decided to write about it so I can achieve at least some kind of acceptance with my failing health. So here's a list of my favorite things to do while I'm sick.

1. Stay in bed

There is no better excuse to stay in bed than feeling unwell. And my bed is very comfortable. I wish I was in it right now...

2. Watching Movies

When I was little I used to watch all of Star Wars whenever I was sick. The mind-numbing action based movies always put me in a good mood.

3. Going to sleep early

The best feeling in the world is being able to enjoy going to sleep early without any feeling of guilt.

4. Comfort food

I don't know about you, but I think sickness is the perfect time to pull out the comfort food. Give me the potatoes, the popcorn, and the tea. Whatever has plenty of salt and no flavor to make my stomach hurt will do.

5. My brain forcibly reminding me to give up on homework

The mind-numbing feeling of cotton balls in my head prevent me from even thinking coherently. Why would I even bother with homework beyond what's necessary? Unfortunately, the necessary homework takes me about twice as long to do.

6. Not being able to go for a run

Because anyone who knows me knows I am always looking for an excuse not to run. Why would I ever want to stick to my weekly workout schedule when I can just stay at home instead?

7. Not having any energy at all

Who needs energy? That's for people who actually try to get stuff done. Why would I want to do that?

OK, maybe this didn't make me feel any better. Hopefully, I feel better soon, though.
