Sick Days for College Students?

What should one do while they are sick?

I guess the best answer would be to get better, pronto. But sometimes you just cannot shake that cold, or that illness that is more than a cold. And then what do you do?

Well, I am sick. If you saw me right now you would know. I might as well be walking around campus with this neon sign over my head screaming, "Approach at your own risk." What is worse is that not only am I exhausted, I also have to sound like a frog if I attempt to speak. Believe me, its quite impressive during class participation. I am the new Kermet.

I would stay in bed and eat soup all day, watch cheezy movies and sleep... however, my life does not stop because I'm sick. I'm searching for a job, hopefully one in which will gain me experience in the hospitality industry, as well as applying for internships. I can't give up a week or more of my time "getting better" when my financial situation is not improving and the deadlines for internships are breathing down my neck. Honestly, I believe the stress of it all is just making me feel worse.

So, I'm doing the best that I can. I am still going to my 8:30 class even when I want to break my alarm for waking me up. I am going to bed early (though it's still not enough). And I'm doing research and homework when I can. I suppose that is all I can do for now.
