tl;dr--just skim. i REALLY need advice! what helps get rid of a horrible sore throat/chest congestion? for the past week and a half, i've been sick with a bad cold. for a while, my breathing was so bad. i've noticed that when i breathe, it almost sounds like i'm wheezing; i even have a hard time sleeping because it's so hard to breathe. for almost 50% of the day, i'm coughing up my lungs. i cough so hard that i feel like i'm going to puke sometimes. tips on making me feel better? ;[
secondly, have you ever had a best friend be pissed at you over something incredibly childish? here's my side of the story: i have this best friend who i love dearly, let's call her sam. a couple weeks ago, ruth* was talking shit about sam. she even went so far as to send a text to every single person in her phonebook claiming that sam has HPV. obviously sam got pissed and has almost fought her multiple times. things have calmed down a little and i've never wanted to admit to sam that i'm actually pretty friendly with ruth. we have classes together and talk a lot. HERE IT COMES. today i was walking down the hallway, talking and laughing with ruth. i went to go sit down at my table at lunch when sam comes up to me and says, "why were you talking to that skanky bitch?" i told sam that i like ruth. she's nice to me and hasn't said anything bad to me. without a word, sam RUDELY walks off and talks to other people about how that was a bitchy move of me. so now she's pissed. was it an okay thing for me to be somewhat friends with ruth? i feel bad, but honestly, the girl treats me nice, so why wouldn't i be friends with her? i just don't want my friendship with sam to deteriorate just because of who i talk to.
