While just getting over a week-long cold, I was reminded of all the important items every college student should have in their medicine cabinet\/closet for those unexpected cold and flu bugs.\u00a0 Here are just a few things you should pick up to keep away from those pesky germs:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0 Hand Sanitizer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A must-have when you are constantly touching public handles and sharing pencils with a coughing desk mate. Keep a large bottle in your room and a small keychain-size container in your backpack to use on-the-go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0 Kleenex<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing worse than having to run to the bathroom every five minutes to blow your nose with a little bit of toilet paper. Keep some Kleenex boxes on hand for those drippy messes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0 Ibuprofen or Nyquil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trying to go to class with a pounding headache and stuffy nose is never ideal. Make sure you have some pain-relieving medicine to make it through that important exam and then take a well-deserved nap afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0 Chicken Noodle Soup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While you may not want to keep this in your medicine cabinet, try to keep some cans of soup on hand to soothe an unexpected sore throat. It may not be as good as your mom\u2019s homemade recipe, but the warm broth will feel heavenly!<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0 Vitamin C Tablets\/Emergen-C<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s important to get lots of vitamin c when you are sick, it\u2019s as equally as important to take it BEFORE YOU GET SICK to fight off any potential sicknesses.\u00a0 Try to take a multivitamin or supplement to get your daily dose of the infection-fighting miracle worker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Springtime: Full of sunshine, running along the Winona lakes and a few cases of the sniffles.
