10 Things To Do When You Are Feeling Sick

c1.staticflickr.com

None of us have the time or energy to plan out when we will get sick. Sadly sickness waits for no man or woman. So here are 10 things to do when you are feeling sick and want no social interaction.

1. SLEEP!

Giphy

Your body is not at its best take this time to catch up on some much needed sleep.

2. Movie day.

Giphy

Now is the time to catch up on all those fun movies you have been saving to Netflix but never had the time to watch.

3. Start a new series.

Giphy

Just like watching all the movies you have wanted too start the new series you have been hearing all about.

4. Relax.

Giphy

Now you actually have an excuse to lay around all day so relax and enjoy it as much as you can.

5. Soup binging.

Giphy

I personally love soup, but its not always the healthiest. When I am sick I eat as much soup as I can.

6. Take a bath.

Giphy

Showers are so much faster when we have busy schedules. When you're sick you aren't going anywhere so might as well use the bath bomb you have been saving and relax.

7. Catch up on Social Media.

Giphy

I know I personally suck catching up on social media however when I am sick, I feel like I am so caught up I could predict trends before they happen.

8. Hang out with your dogs,

Giphy

your furry friends know when you are not feeling your best. o hug there neck and spend the day lounging with them.

9. See the doctor.

Giphy

I know this seems obvious but I hate going to the doctor. So if you feel like you are knocking on deaths door, go see a doctor.

10. Ask for help.

Giphy

I never ask for help but when you are sick you cant do much. So don't feel embarrassed to ask for help during your time of suffering.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
