I've now been sick for 3 weeks and I'm completely OVER it. All of my friends had bronchitis earlier this month. I thought I was safe from it, since I didn't get sick for a few days after they were all better. Then all of a sudden, BOOM. I was down and out for the count. I really hate to miss school. and I definitely missed some school this time around. I was finally starting to feel better, but then I developed a completely different cold right in the middle of the day. Now I'm just dying on the couch. Here are some of the things I'm thinking about as I waste away!

1. My head feels like it's the size of a hot air balloon.

2. I'm glad I bought the tissues with Vick's in them.

3. Thank God for Vaseline. I would die of the evil cracked nose without it.

4. I wonder when my voice will quit sounding like a pubescent teenage boy's voice.

5. Nyquil has failed me. Why am I still awake? I just want to sleeeeeep.

6. Wait, you want me to go to work sick? I suppose I'm a real adult now.

7. It really stinks to not be able to smell. (haha, see what I did there?)

8. Class was the worst. I couldn't sit there without quivering from trying not to cough.

9. Don't look at my nose! I know it's cracked and red.

10. I wish I could taste my dinner.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
