Ates: I need help 
My AIM Auto-Reply: blah…already sick
Ates: boo
Ates: You’re sick?
Ates: o no
Me: just coughing…
Ates: Ahh…how it is to be a freshman
It seems like the entire campus has started getting sick, or at least all the freshmen dorms. Last saturday, a bunch of people in my hall started coughing, which only led to the inevitable: me getting sick. Yesterday I started to feel the tingle and then coughing appeared right before I went to sleep. But I think I’ve discovered the ultimate solution to the slightly sore throat and the accompanied coughing:
I’ve been taking Tylenol Cold (day and nighttime) and then started chugging Odwalla Citrus C Monster fruit smoothie blend. I figure if i pop some pills while trying to shock my system full of vitamin C, it should work…and it seems like it is. We’ll see by tomorrow how effective it was.
Eh, I stopped drinking Odwalla after a boy died from e. coli after drinking it (because apparently, they used fruit they picked up off the ground that was covered in shit). It’s probably safe now, because they kinda had to start pasteurizing after that, but it still makes me feel dirty.
