1.
It always starts with denial.
2.
But inevitably, when the seasons change and the bugs are in the air, you're the first person they scout.
3.
At some point, you have to give in to the mucus and admit you're a bit under the weather.
4.
And that's when you start drowning in the downward spiral of self-pity and attention seeking behaviour.
5.
Even though you are a seasoned sick-person, you always think you're the worst.
6.
You catch yourself reminiscing about the good old days when you were fine.
7.
While internally celebrating that you can't possibly be at work or class.
8.
Everyone doesn't fall for your shit and expects you to be at your desk no matter what.
9.
And obviously you embarrass yourself by having no control over your bodily functions.
10.
You try to make light of it to combat the disgusted yet pitiful looks everyone is giving you.
11.
Your friends start treating you like you have the plague because they don't want to get infected.
12.
And you're just like:
13.
Because you're sick and vulnerable and really need affection.
14.
Any kind of affection.
15.
You find out who your true friends are.
16.
You realize how much you love your mom.
17.
You get that sexy phlegm filled voice interjected by the most disgusting of coughs.
18.
But sore throats and chafed noses make you question your whole life.
19.
And you're definitely about to lose it.
20.
So when you recover, you appreciate your good health that much more.
21.
But don't get too comfortable because it's only a matter of time until you're under the weather again.
