Being sick is bad enough, but being sick when you’re on your own at school is even worse. We’ve all been there, and if you haven’t, consider yourself one of the lucky ones (or next).
Anxious
You can feel the sickness coming. You aren’t quite ill yet, but you know it’s about to go down.
Denial
This isn’t that bad. It’s just a cold. You’ll be able to bounce back after a couple glasses of orange juice and a nap.
Scared
Maybe you really are sick? How will you be able to live your life normally for the next week?
Acceptance
This is it. You really are sick. *sighs heavily* *coughs violently*
Self-Pity
Life may never be the same again. This is it.
Hope
You’ve successfully only coughed 17 times in your 50-minute class. Progress.
Grateful
You would like to thank modern medicine, Puffs Tissues that smell like Vicks, and your closest friends for nursing you back to health.
