Sure colds can be annoying, but I've gotta be honest... there's something about having a cold that I kind of enjoy. Granted, not for more than a week. If this thing is going to last for more than a week, then it just might as well stay away from my immune system. But, a 3-4 day stay can't be that bad, can it?
Positive things about having a cold:
- You can always play the "sick" card. Now, I don't take this lightly... you can't overplay this card... but when you have a cold, it IS in your hand. You can use it to your advantage! Congratulations, you get to lay around in sweats, drink hot soup, and get the priority blankets! Own that sickness!
- NyQuil. I've seen people post on Facebook or Instagram about how at least when they are sick, they can count on NyQuil helping them have a good night sleep. Now, I'm not saying this is not a positive thing, I'm just saying, its not the ONLY positive thing about taking NyQuil... another bonus is that the liquid type tastes pretty darn good. Yes, I still take the liquid NyQuill medicine. Judge if you must. Some pills are just too big to swallow. In an unrelated topic, I also take gummy vitamins.
- Its always sort of funny when you laugh and snot accidentally gets on something other than a kleenex, such as your laptop screen. No additional explanation needed, I hope.
Just remember, there's an upside to everything, even a cold during cold season.
