Being sick in college

I will be perfectly honest.
When i'm sick and i'm now not living with my parents, getting sick is pretty much a crisis.
My mom was always designated sick day parent most of the time.
And she took care of all three of us so well.
We were so spoiled on sick days.

AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF LIKE AN ADULT.

So on Tuesday I woke up with a splitting headache, and dizzy and I knew that was god saying I needed to stop trying keep the world together, and to take a day for myself.

So I did.
And I drank like 8 cups of tea.
Tried to keep up with all my commitments.
Slept.
Took a freaking hot bath.
Got into my pjs and then put a onsie on over it.
Watched a bunch of episodes of Beauty and the Beast
Ate a ton of toast.

And tried to get myself better for today.
Because I cant be sick.

And today i'm mostly over it.
But not perfect.

All I wanted yesterday was my mommy to sit next to me as we watched old Disney movies and drank tea and ate soup.
I just wanted to be 7 again.
No worries.
Just needing to get better and spending the day with mom.

I cant wait to go home for spring break already!
