20 Reasons Sick Days Are Total Letdowns

I’ve been battling a nasty cold for the past few days, and it got me thinking about taking sick days when I was in school. Even if I had the most minor illness, I would try to stay home sick because they were supposed to be fun!

You were supposed to lay on the couch all day, watch TV and have mom take care of you. But in reality, sick days were a total letdown if you were actually sick! My mom would force me to sleep all day with Vicks slathered on my chest wrapped in a scarf. It was the worst.

Here are 20 reasons sick days are complete letdowns:

1. You feel like this.

2. You physically can’t do anything today.

3. You think you can binge-watch TV.

3. But your mom says this.

4. And that you need to sleep it off.

5. If you show any sign of feeling better, you have to do chores.

6. You think you’ll get homemade chicken noodle soup.

7. Maybe a grilled cheese too.

8. And tons of ice cream to make your throat feel better.

9. But you’re forced to eat things like oatmeal.

10. And drink tea.

11. You try sleeping but you can’t breathe.

12. Anytime you get up, it feels like this.

13. Your mom asks if you want to go to the doctor.

14. Your friend texts you that you missed a pizza party in class.

15. And you also missed a pop quiz.

16. And have a bunch of assignments to make up.

17. By the end of the day, you still feel like this.

18. You can’t sleep because you were a bum all day.

19. You’re starving because you couldn’t really eat.

20. And you basically just hate everything.
