It’s winter, if you didn’t notice all the white stuff outside and the multiple times it has dropped below 0 degrees, well you know now. Back in high school you could wear shorts to school this time of year still because the only time you were cold was the 200 meter walk from the car to the front door of the school. In college you are outside more than half a dozen times when walking to classes, and feel every bit of the biting wind and cold temperatures.

Remember when you got sick in high school and could miss two days of classes just to make things up afterwards. That’s doesn’t really happen in college for the most part. There is no mom (Love you Mom) to sit and give you sprite and chicken broth, there isn’t some assignment you didn’t do because you didn’t know about it, there is a syllabus and your own resources. If you get sick, try and get plenty of rest, take some medicine, and GO SEE THE HEALTH CENTER if it is truly that bad. Do whatever you can to stay healthy and not get behind.

If you’re in a sport and feel injured, then GO SEE THE TRAINERS. Do not wait several days to hope it fixes itself. Any serious pain she get looked at and observed, because you decided to play college sports to be a better athlete. So take advantage of any tools and support the school offers you in being a better Wabash Mathlete (Man-Athlete). That joke wasn’t very funny, but I thought it was when writing it so it gets to stay.

Stay warm readers!
