9 Thoughts You Have While You're Sick In College
Kelly Sikkema

There are many dreadful things in this world — especially getting sick, which is something all of us avoid, but eventually always end up succumbing to.

Trust me when I say that I have had plenty of experiences being sick in college, despite my short stay.

As only a second semester freshman, I have already been struck with the flu, bronchitis and mono, and I still have two months left to go. Despite the differences in the illness I have endured, there are a few thoughts that remain the same.

1. WHERE TF IS MY MOM?

This is not a want, but a need. This woman didn’t even get a degree in medicine but she is still the best doctor out there.

2. I pay tens of thousands of dollars for this, and yet no one is here taking care of me why exactly…?

Shouldn’t I have my own personal nurse or something for the absurdity of that price?

3. I’m never riding the public bus again.

Again, shouldn’t I have a limo with all that money I’m putting down?

4. Scratch that, I’m never leaving my dorm again.

It was nice knowin' y’all!

5. Do you think if I send a picture of my puke to my professor that will work as a medical excuse?

It’s college... those attendance points are essential, okay.

6. They’re gonna think I’m hungover... I swear I’m not hungover!

But maybe one too many thirsty Thursdays are why my immune system is crap in the first place...

7. I can’t do this.

I NEED to drop out. It’s seriously the only option if I want to keep my life at this point.

8. What did I do to deserve this?

I should’ve forwarded that chain text message from sixth grade.

9. The bathroom floor isn’t really that dirty, right?

Good, because I’m about to lay on it. If I don’t die from whatever I’m battling currently, I absolutely will form whatever infection I catch from this nasty ass tile afterwards.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
