Ah, springtime. The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing and pollen is wreaking havoc upon millions of innocent lives around the globe. If you are an allergy sufferer, then you will understand these 5 incidents…
1. “Are you sick?”
NO. I mean, yes. But I won’t get you sick so please just stop asking. Leave me to die.
2. Waking up in the morning is a gamble
Am I hungover from Benadryl? Can I breathe today? Maybe my eyes are crusted over, or maybe I’ve gone blind?
3. “It’s such a nice day outside!”
Allergy season = planning your days so that you’re literally inside as much as possible. Stepping outdoors is asking to start sneezing uncontrollably, so no, I don’t want to take a walk or have a picnic or do whatever your privileged un-allergic self is planning.
4. Taking medicine means that you can’t stay awake…
…even if it’s non-drowsy. It’s just a lose/lose situation. Unless you find an opportune time to nap — that’s always a win.
5. “You look tired!”
Hang in there Collegiettes — those pollen counts will go down one day!
