It’s that point of the 12 months when faculty college students begin to get sick. The adrenaline from the beginning of the 12 months has worn off, they’re up late with pals, within the thick of learning, and forgetting that self care (like evening’s sleep and staying hydrated) is important. Now is a superb time to place collectively a get properly quickly care package deal for a sick faculty scholar and ship it as a preventative measure earlier than they really feel depressing.
This previous Sunday evening my daughter referred to as, telling us she wasn’t feeling properly. The plague, as she referred to as it, was going by way of her suite of pals and she or he might inform she was coming down with one thing. Though she’s a junior, I keep in mind getting a really related name her first 12 months of faculty. She was lower than a month into her freshman 12 months and from over 3000 miles away, I might inform wasn’t feeling good as quickly as she stated hi there. Asking “How are you?” confirmed it as she instructed me all about her signs. As a junior, she’s extra skilled at adulting however as her mother, I at all times wish to deal with her. The identical goes together with her brother who not too long ago began his freshman 12 months of faculty.
As a mother of two faculty college students, I like to ensure they have been properly stocked with chilly and flu provides, consolation meals they might make of their rooms once they don’t really feel like trekking to the eating corridor, and put collectively a care package deal to allow them to know they’re beloved.
