Why Being Sick In College Is The Absolute Worst
The Rubbish Diet

Being sick as a college-aged adult is, by far, one of the worst things I've ever experienced. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. If you just-so-happen to be one of the lucky people who never get sick and don't understand what I mean; First of all, I beg you to tell me your secrets. But here are seven simple reasons why it's THE. WORST.

1. When You First Feel It Coming On, This Is The First Thought That Goes Through Your Mind:

Can't wait to suffer through this for a week! Woo!

2. You Get Sick When It's Least Convenient.

Not that it's ever really convenient, but... does it have to be now? I have three exams, a presentation, a lunch date, and a bunch of meetings. I can pencil you in for, like, Summer 2016?

3. This Is The First Thing Everyone Says When They See You:

Thanks, Rachel. I'll remember this when you need the Modernism homework.

4. You Don't Really Know What You're Sick With, All You Know Is That You Feel HORRIBLE.

Whatever you do, don't WebMD your symptoms. Trust me.

5. By The Third Day, You're Concocting Weird Home Remedies Because You're SO DONE With Suffering.

At this point, I'd be better off selling my soul to Satan.

6. You've Never Made Your Own Doctors Appointment And You're Not About To Try Now.

Not that I can really even afford it... But hey, has anyone ever actually died from the common cold?

7. When You Finally Get To Feeling Better But Then You Remember How Much Work You Have To Catch Up On:


I mean, at least, you're not sick. For now.

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.

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.
