Oh how this time of the year is the best! This time of the year always scares me. Everybody gets sick, and it just travels so fast! In my case though, it’s never just a cold, it forms to something better! For the past two years I was pleasantly given pneumonia. The first year I was out of school for two weeks, and last year I was only out for a week. It’s the worst feeling ever! The thing I don’t understand is if you’re sick, why do you come to school? When people come to school sick, they’re just asking for everyone around them to get what they have. Most people don’t see the importance of hand washing or using the elbow. The other day I saw someone cough into their hands then open the door, gross! I know it’s hard to miss class when it’s so important, but sometimes it’s the best thing to do! I’m one that hates to miss school, and I hate to go to the doctor. Being on my own now, I don’t think I’ll ever go to the doctor unless I think I’m dying. That’s just the way it is! I get sick every year, but I’m cautious about what I touch and what I do. I carry hand sanitizer wherever I go, but sometimes it doesn’t even matter since there are so many other sick people around you. In college, it’s even harder to try to get away from the sickness. We all live together, and we’re packed into class together. No matter where you go, there will be sick people. Just this past Sunday, I realized I was getting sick. One of my good friends that I’ve made here is sick too, and she still thinks I got it from her. It’s hard to insulate yourself especially when we all live here. It’s hard to just take rest or time for yourself. It’ll be a miracle when we all have time management skills and can take that time away from everybody! Being sick to me sucks, and every year I tell myself I won’t get it. It never seems to happen that way though. It college, it’s just not fun. There’s no mommy here to take care of you or make sure you’re okay. Everybody’s on their own, there’s nobody to feel sympathy for you. Just today, I had a friend complain to me about being sick, but I couldn’t really have sympathy towards here because I’m in the same boat. She then went on to tell me that she needed to call her mom to vent to and feel the sympathy she needed. Some people just need that reassurance that everything is going to be okay. I take one day at a time, and I try to take one thing at a time. Things get accomplished that way, and I’m not dwelling on the fact that I’m sick. I’m determined to do well in school, so I can’t let the sickness get in my way when everybody is going through a similar situation. Every day is a new day, and hopefully tomorrow will be better than today.
