When I was in high school, I loved sick days. Sure, all of the coughing and fevers may have
sucked but at least I was able to stay home and not go to school. It was high school. Who cared if I missed a
day of classes? It wasn't anything that
I couldn't make up the next day. But
college is a lot different.
I didn't take a sick day today, but because my first class didn't
start until 4:30PM I was able to lie in bed all day. It was a pretty miserable experience. First of all, I didn't have any cold medicine.
At home, my parents would always keep a
medicine cabinet full of various pills and syrups to make me feel better.
However, in college, I had to devote more of my financials towards textbooks
and food. So I decided to just "man
up" and simply rest today.
The second bad part about being sick in college is that I
didn't have any parents to take care of me. I didn't have a mom to make me soup and bring
me extra blankets. I didn't have
grandparents to cook me warm food. I had
to make do with heating up some soup and drinking some juice.
And the final bad part would be that I didn't really get to
get any work done. The workload in
college is significantly higher than the load in high school, so I sort of
regretted not getting anything done today.
That is, of course, except for writing this.
