Feeling feverish

Back to All Stories

One of my roommates woke up with the flu, another with a fever.  I feared for my own health and promptly consumed a quart of orange juice and some vitamins.

We took them to the Student Health Center, where they were thoroughly checked over and handed paper bags full of Ginger Ale, Cranberry juice, and medications.  One roommate had to have lab tests done.  ‘I’ll e-mail you the results as soon as I get them,’ Dr. Miller said.

Later that night, her fever had subsided somewhat and her lab results came back.  The Ginger Ale was gone and she had watched a movie and a half. 

It’s not mom.  But Health Center, combined with the slew of roommates and friends catering to your needs, makes it just as good.
