I'm sick and so is everyone else.

I have recently realized how easy it is to get sick while living on a college campus. When one of my roommates becomes sick, more likely than not, one of my other roommates will also get sick. There are more opportunities to pass along illness. I feel that the dormitories are the problem. They are festering with germs and bacteria.

There is ridiculously old carpeting with tons of dried up grossness underneath something that one might think was clean, but actually is not. Imagine how many people have walked on the carpet with their dirty and sweaty feet. Imagine all the sick people that must of lived in my room before me and how many sick people are in my building right now. The air conditioners carrying germs from one room to the next.

There's no escaping being sick in college. The only thing you can do to prepare your body for what will inevitably happen would be taking your vitamins everyday and hoping for the best.

Ok so this all better pay off one day-- when I have a great career and have enough money not to have old carpeting....
