Getting Down With My Sickness

Well, it's finals week and that means one huge disadvantage: Feeling sick-- it never fails. Last year I felt so terrible I went to health services and they sent me home in fear that I had the swine. It's hugely annoying because it's probably caused by stress and lack of sleep... But feeling sick makes me more stressed... Therefor more sick. It's a downward spiral.

I guarantee you 24 hours after my last final I will have perfect health.

So, if you're like me and you need to cope through finals here are some tips:

   -Taking meds on a scheduled base. If the box says every six hours, take it every six hours.
   -Try and sleep, you can't do well if you're nodding off in the middle of a test.
   -Avoid greasy foods... They aren't good for much.
   -Vitamin C and a lot of water. I recommend sleeping with a cup next to bed.
   -Finals can be stressful, try to take a break and enjoy the beauty in the world. There's a lot to see.

So, good luck and try and relax-- I will attempt to do the same.
