Illness Prevention Mode (IPM)

Everyone is sick.

People in my suite, people on my floor, people in my building, people on my way to class, people in my class, professors, germs and bacteria are swarming around.

I have decided to come up with a list of things to do or not to do, summed up in what I call, IPM - Illness Prevention Mode.

Time to lock into illness prevention mode:

- don’t touch door handles unless completely necessary (or wash hands right after, if available)

- take vitamins!

- stay hydrated (tea, honey lemon tea, ginger tea, orange juice, apple juice, V8)

- eat lots of fruits and vegies

- wake up early and have breakfast

- eat a healthy lunch 

- avoid finger food

- do not share food (i know, this is temporary)

- yogourt + granola after class

- snack on carrots

- lysol everything people touch (in my suite) when they are asleep

- go to sleep at 12:30 latest

- go swimming

- do not look behind me when in class

- try to take seats that are away from sick people if possible

- bring/wear a clean sweater to breathe through if someone coughs near me (also, boys in my class are stinky)

- do not touch face with hands
