8. Contemplating whether you should have gotten the flu shot or not...

I've gone through two boxes of tissues, 5 bottles of water, 2 packs of ramen, and a lot of cough drops over the past two days. I laid in bed for most of the weekend and didn't sleep or study nearly as much as I should have... I need to start getting the flu shot every year again

Do i have the flu or is it normal to have your nose run like crazy in this weather?

I'd like to consider being able to go through an entire box of tissues in 24 hours a talent but that might be the flu talking
