7 Stages Of Having The Flu At College

In This Article:

Sorority rush seems to be a great way to spread illnesses such as the flu. I was one of the unlikely people who was affected by the flu during the first week of classes. I am currently still playing catch-up trying to make up for my unfortunate sick days. For every freshman in college who has the flu in a dorm, here are the seven stages of the flu while living in a college dorm.

1. I should've taken more Emergen-C

Giphy

Maybe if I was more proactive I would not be sick right now.

2. Should I go to Student Health?

Giphy

They will probably just tell me to take Tylenol.

3. I really miss my mom

Giphy

She would make me some yummy soup if I was home right now.

4. I haven't eaten real food in 3 days, is that okay?

Giphy

Living off Boom Chicka Pop probably isn't healthy, but I'm definitely not going to the dining hall with the flu.

5. My professor probably thinks I'm hungover since it is syllabus week

Giphy

Yes, maybe some people are partying during syllabus week, but for me, a party with the flu is eating tomato soup in bed watching Gossip Girl.

6. My roommate hates me

Coughing up mucus and sniffling every 40 seconds isn't exactly what every roommate wants to hear.

7. Okay I've spent 3 days in bed, I should probably go to class now

Giphy

I'll only go to class if I Uber there with a box of tissues and can wear sweatpants.

Everyone, wash your hands during rush.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
