Cures for the Common Cold:

1) Sleep. Various forms such as napping, daydreaming, and the actual sleep you get at night may account for this.
2) Tissues: Depending on the severity of your cold, you may want to have more than one box. Attempt to steal toilet paper from the bathrooms, this can also be used despite its harsher texture.
3) Chicken Noodle Soup: eat. In a scientific study, this little miracle can help stop your runny nose (and thus keep your tissue supply adequate).
4) Medicine: Expensive if from the campus store, thus must be borrowed from friends who have prepared for days such as these.
5) Be creative. Even though you might not be in tip-top shape, your mind can still stay healthy. Think of sunshine and fresh air. Or, even more beneficial, and if your stuffy head can handle it, go outside. Otherwise, avoid infecting the general public and accept any 'mom' treatment from friends.
(This type of behavior, commonly known as the 'I'm pooped, give me a beer and a hockey game' may result from the aftermath of having The Common Cold. Typically, one does not tell others to avoid it, unless it is enjoyed to excessivenes, as is evident in this picture.)
