Sick

I would like
to start off this post by saying, sanitize, sanitize, and sanitize…EVERYTHING.
Everyone has been getting sick. Some have the flu, some have pneumonia, and
some just have a really bad cold.
This week I
got sick, and am still recovering, but doing MUCH better. Being sick in college
is probably one of the hardest obstacles I’ve had to overcome. I fell behind in
every class, had to move a test, and was very sick on Valentine’s Day. One
thing I learned was that ramen is the best food to eat when you’re sick.
Luckily, I was able to go to Tatsumaki Ramen on Valentine’s Day. I debated on
not going because it was rainy and cold, and I didn’t want to get worse, but it
was one of the best decisions my boyfriend and I made.
I don’t have
a guide to keeping up with college while being sick. The best advice I can give
to anyone that has the cold or the flu is REST. I think rest is the only reason
I’m finally better. Don’t be so hard on yourself, and don’t continue to study
or do homework if you’re body is telling you to stay in bed and sleep. Our
bodies recover faster when they are at rest because the process of recovery isn’t
disturbed. I know it’s very hard to even think about just sleeping with
quizzes, tests, and homework that piles on, but do your body a favor and rest. Also,
stay hydrated. This is also hard to do when water doesn’t even taste good when
you’re sick. Personally, I prefer Canada Dry. It’s my go to when I’m not
feeling well. However, the best option is water.
I hope this
helps all those that are sick, or get sick in the future. Sanitize, rest, and drink
water are my three “must do’s” when sick. On a side note, always carry tissues
with you.
