It's that time of year again, and everyone is sick. Here's a list of the things you probably tell yourself when you end up getting sick in college.

1. "I'm not sick, it's just allergies."



2. "No, seriously, it's just a runny nose, I'm fine."



3. "It's a small cough, I can power through."



4. "I'm not sick, I don't have time to be sick."



5. "Okay... I'm sick."



6. "I can't stay home, my class has mandatory attendance."



7. "I have to go to class, we have a final this Friday."



8. "Mom... I'm still sick... what do I take?"



9. "Why did I go to class? I feel like death."



10."I'm so sick that death feels better than I do."



11. "How many pills can I take before it's unhealthy?"



12. "What pills can I mix together to get better faster?"



13. "I swear I'm not a drug addict, I'm just sick."



14. *At the store buying medicine* "Please, allow me to buy this many boxes of medicine, I'm so sick."



15. "Is it socially acceptable to drink NyQuil at 2 p.m.?"



16. "I'm just gonna lay on my floor and wait for the medicine to take effect."



17. "I'm on so much medication right now, I cannot pretend to be sane."



18. "Why me? Why now?"



19. "What's it like to be healthy? And breath through my mouth closed?"



20. "Do I look as bad as I feel?"


21. "I can't blow my nose anymore, it feels like I'm rubbing it with sandpaper. It probably looks like Rudolph."



22. "I never want to get sick again!!"



23. "Dang it, I'm sick again."


Stay healthy this season.
