Being ill sucks and it's the worst when you have tone of things to do but you fell like you can't. It happened to me when I was at Uni several times and I think I've got a pretty good idea how to get through it faster. Here are a few of my tips :) : * First of all - stay *in bed* for like four days. Do absolutely nothing, and I do mean nothing (no lectures, no going out anywhere). Get the warmest and the comfiest of clothes and wear that for the entire time. Even if you feel like you're burning up because that's the flu and your body temperature system doesn't work properly. Hot showers are great too. * Second, drink insane amounts of tea with lemon, honey, ginger (pick what you like). And even more water. Your body needs the insane amounts of liquids to recuperate. Also fruits with vit C are great - get the oranges and clementines and eat them. No shop bought juices - the actual fruit, or juice them yourself. Lemonade is great too. * If you have trouble sleeping because of the cough elevate your pillow so your top half of the body is raised. Almost like you're sitting up but not really that high. * If your fever is below 39C it'll get better on it's own. If it reaches 39C or goes above you need medicine to take it down ASAP. The worst temperature is 37.5C. That's the one that breaks you and makes you feel like everything hurts. * If you have nausea and can't stomach anything down, try eating toast. But really dry out the bread - don't have it mildly toasted and squishy on the inside. Bananas are great option too. Eat bland food so that spices and extra flavours don't make you sick. * And last tip - check the instructions for cold medicine - some things you can not take if you're taking something else already. If by day four you're not getting any better go to the doctors. You may need antibiotics. Hope this helps someone. :)

I have to imit so much that I can't do exsize because I have such bad tummy ache from my period and I sleep alot and wake up at stupid o'clock

It's horrible being ill but it makes you appreciate the good health we have, as there are lots of people who want to work hard in school but physically can't.

I really appreciate the fact that you show us the reality of being a student at university ❤️ It’s normal that you can’t always be happy, healthy and positive. Life is life. Thank you for this vlog and I hope you get better soon 😘

eve: shows every sign possible of having the flu eve: *is shocked when she actually has the flu* big love your way! hope you get well soon x

omg my heart when u started crying 💔 just wanted to give u a hug. get well soon sis xx

Negativity??!! Atleast were seeing the REAL uni life eve is living. Hope you get well soon!! 💖💖

Get better soon Eve!!! Both you and Holly have actually put out some very real and relatable vids this week which has legit helped lots.❤️

Hey girl, study and social is important, but your health is the most one, which is the foundation of your life. Take care, don't be too active and busy. 🤗🤗🤗

hope your okay hun❤️

Hi Eve, thanks for posting this. I remember being ill at Oxford and feeling SO stressed about missing out and getting behind on work and being SO frustrated that I wasn’t able to do my work and feeling so lonely. It happens and I appreciate your honesty in posting about it!

Your videos are always worth the watch Eve - hope you feel better soon💪🏼💘

I remember freshers flu so well from last year, no one ever avoids it! Hope you’re feeling better now 🙌🏻

I just want to say thank you for being so honest with us and showing the ups and downs.

its amazing how you're studying at OXFORD and have loads of work to do, yet still manage to film, edit and upload these vlogs! have so much appreciation for you! x

Eve I honestly love your uni vlogs I love how real they are because I'm going to uni next year and I love to see how it's like and hope you feel better eve xxx

Don’t worry about the flu Eve! I just started reading history at Brasenose and have been ill for the past week or so and just got over it. Your vlog makes me feel that I have not been alone in feeling awful!

This vlog is still worth a watch ahhh but hope you get better soon! ❤️❤️

Your making me want to try hard in my a levels so i can go to a great uni too!!

I watched the whole video Eve. It was very mature of you to make that disclaimer at the start, but as someone who likes to watch your videos because I'm interested in YOU, I found it different- but good different- to see the rough side to your life which people all too often see the glory (only) in. This all the more shows how resilient you are and adds more respect I have for you. P.S. I also had flu throughout the week but was too stubborn to take Lemsips etc. Such is life indeed! Hoping your better to continue your studies and just life in general, Love love love

props to you for not just filming but also editing AND uploading when you feeling this ill! really hope you get better soon Eve

Hey Eve! Hope you're okay please don't exert yourself too much and just rest!xx Love these types of vlogs because it shows how much determination you have because you're just human and have setbacks just like everyone else yet it shows how hard you worked to get to Oxford! I honestly think that if we knew each other in real life we'd be the best of friends! I love that you work hard yet you also play hard by rewarding yourself by going out with friends! I am at college currently studying French & Spanish and I am applying for French, German & Spanish at University! The universities I am applying for are Exeter, St Andrews, Bangor, Durham & Sheffield (although I may change Sheffield to another uni). I love the German TV series Charité and you would too!xx You have been a massive inspiration for me Eve and I am working smarter this year more than any other year in my life! If it wasn't for you my life would be completely different and you've been a massive inspiration to me xx I can't wait to study German at university xx

your vlogs are my favourite, I really hope you feel better soon!💘

I remember crying down the phone to my mum as well when I had freshers flu. It was a few years ago now, but it was awful! I hope you’re feeling better this week! X

I hope things get better according the thumbnail but going to watch the video now Eve! 💘💘

actually love your long vlogs ❤ but I hope you feel better soon!

Good for you for uploading the vlog because things aren’t always bright, breezy and productive, I feel for you girl 💛 just got over the flu 3 weeks ago myself

you're lucky, you have such good friends! I still remember that one time I was so ill that I couldn't even stand, my coughs could be clearly heard from the rooms next to mine, but no one even cared to come knock and ask if I needed anything to survive...

This is the most real thing I’ve ever seen, loved the video but really hoping you’re feeling better soon ❤️❤️

I had Australian flu over last Christmas and was hospitalised. Girl. Giiiiiirl. You came close to me in this vlog. Wow. Hope you're feeling better xx

I really feel for you Eve:( I had glandular fever this summer and had so much work to do in preparation for yr13 but couldn't physically do any of it :/ Hope you feel better soon! and I always enjoy your vlogs no matter what:)) xx

Hope you get better soon and I think it’s really brave of you to post this vlog xxx love you loads and I’m sure you’ll be back up and clubbing soon! Xxxx This video is definitely worth watching! I love them so so much!!

Aw hope you’re getting better now. Will watch the video now ❤️ hope you’ve had an amazing time so far though despite being ill

Gorgeous Eve I’m so sorry you’ve been unwell. I’m in third year now also at Oxford in St John’s college and during first term I got glandular fever and had to go home for 2 weeks after only being away for less than a month so I know how you feel. Sending lots of love and get well soon

I really appreciate you showing us the realities of life. Love you x

I'm hoping you're now feeling much better Eve! I feel so awful for you. I had viral meningitis in July and I just felt horrendous - I ended up in hospital - so I completely understand the frustration. You're doing so well! Also, r.e the essay extension - my friend is at St. Peters in Oxford and she asked for an essay extension on the first week because she was finding it so hard, never mind being as ill as you! Best wishes xx

I'm not even at uni anymore but I have something right now that reminds me of Freshers Flu! Eughhh I feel disgusting so I am with you girl. Hope you feel better soon and please REST! I'm the same as you, I never want to miss important stuff but sometimes we have to to get better quicker. Love and hugs ❤️🤗

Watching this whilst currently ill during my A levels straight after half term😩the flu is horrible and I completely understand why you’re frustrated x

Thanks for uploading this I’ve definitely felt the exact same - I think being sick and away from home is one of the worst combinations 😩 when you just want a cuddle from ur mum 💞 love you eve hope ur feeling okay xxxxxx

I currently have the flu and it’s the worst so I am feeling your pain and I will also like to say that this will pass over soon and you can get back to being you again , don’t worry life always has obstacles like this that gets in the way, we have to learn to accept it and power through 😍❤️ Sending u my wishes😘

I hope you feel better next week!! I love watching your vlogs sm

Ps. The vlog was worth watching because it shows the reality of your life and this can help people who feel vulnerable or alone when life’s beating them down. So thnx for uploading.get well soon 😍😘

hope you feel okay eve. Its so frustrating and such a worrying thing missing out on lectures but im sure it will work itself out. this was a interesting and very good to understand what NOT to do ;)

i hope everything gets better for you eve! ❤️

This was so sad, being ill is so frustrating and hard away from home. I hope you’re feeling a bit better soon❤️

You did my classic getting ill routine which is pushing myself and getting further behind rather than just going to bed for 2 days and seeing it off. Every.Time. Hope you're feeling much better soon.

Eve, your absolutely amazing and everyone gets sick, ur not any different xxx

Get well soon! I had the flu a couple of years ago, before that I was just like it’s not that bad, it’s just like a cold but a bit worse. Honestly, how wrong I was, I have never been so unwell in my life, I was in bed for over a week and the GP gave me antibiotics so strong that they actually made me vomit and because I’ve got type 1 diabetes my sugar levels were at extremes and I wouldn’t of wished it on my worse enemy! Hope you’ve had a chance to recuperate since this vlog was filmed!

Bless you, I had awful flu last year I was Ill for ages and i wasn’t right for months, you’re amazing I love you xx Flu happens so quickly. ( you did better then I did I couldn’t physically get up for a week and didn’t feel better at all)

Hope you're feeling better now Eve! All throughout the vlog I just wanted to come to Oxford and see you and give you big hugs with all the cough medicine and lemsips (Tip; put a spoonful of clear honey into the lemon lemsip it helps make it that little bit more bearable to drink!)

Ah bless you hun! Freshers flu is the pits, especially if you have never had it before. In my experience flu symptoms are the worst at night and early in the morning. There is no shame in looking after your body when it's in need. Be kind to yourself. Hope you feel better soon xx

Welcome to college, where your immune system is basically non-existent and you spend your days crying and getting back into bed.

I hope you're feeling better Eve! When I got freshers flu for the first time I was sick for aaaaages! Now I get the flu jab every year and it makes SUCH a difference, highly recommend if you're at uni

I feel you - I think everyone's a bit ill at the moment. That's why I'm taking supplements to prepare for the stressful winter of IB2. I hope you feel better soon - drink some ginger tea with lemon and honey, if you can! Lots of chicken soup! ;) EDIT: EVE. You have freshers flu - it's okay to be a bit behind when you can't even think straight. Taking care of yourself is priority one - you can make it up later. :)

Proud of you for sharing yourself at your most unwell. It happens to us all, it forges friendships. Don’t be afraid to ask for help there is no shame it.

Hi Eve! I visited LMH for my birthday this past Thursday and it’s just as beautiful as in your videos. I hope you’re enjoying your studies there 🙋🏻‍♀️

Thank you for sharing this! I have flu like everytime after I finish my exams, instead of partying. But the bug you had was something special... please, next time, go to the doctor!!! It would be so much better. Also, having official statement from your doc or nurse would really help you with your tutors and profs.

Hope you feel better soon❤️ The vlog was great, don’t worry!!

hi babe, i‘m so sorry you‘ve had such a rough week & i hope you‘ll feel much better soon. i completely get your frustration! i‘m currently fighting a cold while having a whole lot to do for uni UGH. i‘m sending you a big hug & just wanted to tell you that i really enjoy watching your videos - no matter what! 😘 liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ❤️

we are literally the same person I swear aaah. Hope you're feeling a lot better now Eve, been loving your uni vlogs xxxx

hope you get better! I just wanted to come and give you a hug in this video!! ❤️❤️

Get well soon Eve ❤️I appreciate how real you are x

This is a great REALISTIC vloggg 💗💗

things can only get better eve, have a good weekend xx

Your reaction to bake off was the same as mine. Absolutely shaken. Hope you feel better soon x

Awwh eve hope you feel better sis! I felt so bad watching that because you seemed so uncomfortable. Get well soon beautiful xx

I had Freshers flu ! It's so horrible I was bed bound for a full week it's horrible!! Get well soon xx

Aw bless you. Hope you feel better soon!❤️

very fitting video to watch as i'm also suffering with the flu right now and have been bed bound for the last few days. also very reassuring to know its okay to have a few days off!

Girl I get you I was in bed yesterday like the whole day and I couldn't go to uni today I literally had tears in my eyes for you I hope you're feeling better by now and I'm sure you can catch up on everything so don't worry lyyyysm

I had the freshers flu as well even tho I am still a senior in high school 😂 let me explain it to you.. so I live in Germany and where I live there are to options to get your A-Levels, either in 8 or 9 years (+ the 4 years of elementary school) and I chose to go for 9 years instead of 8 that’s why many of the friends my age have already graduated while I am still sitting in yr13 😩😂 it’s great, I know. So this year I had vacations over Fall so basically I was not in school for the first three fourths of October ...this was freshers week and orientation for all my friends who are attending uni now.. so because I had nothing to do over vacation I went to every uni party possible from Monday to Saturday because my friends just took me with them 😂 everyone thought I was a Fresher and I even got the flu like you did 😂 so yeah already had a uni experience even tho I have not graduated yet 😂😂 it was the most fun time tho 😂 now that I had this experience I can’t wait to actually be a fresher next year ☺️

hope you feel better Eve! take care and rest well ❤️❤️

Hope you feel better, keep up positive attitude lots of love sending your way:))))))

Freshers flu is the worst! I'm like you, I rarely get ill and I had it at the beginning of all three years I was at uni... Hope you feel better soon!

I'm in my third year of uni and my first year experience was not how I expected it to be. It's a long story and my journey has been a bit crazy. But I completely understand with the friend situation because all my friends (and everyone else on my course) live in the town I'm at uni in. It was difficult but I have the best group of friends and I love uni now! It's quite sad that it's my last year and I will miss it. Hope you feel much better now!

Literally suffering with the same illness right now! It’s a nightmare and I’ve still got to work in it😩 hope you’re better soon, it’s an awful thing to have 🤢❤️

Love your vlogs eve!💓

your uni and friends seem so homely. i wish my first year was like that. i'm so happy for u i gave myself heatstroke in year 9 because i didn't want to take my jacket off in pe and then i had that thing where you alternate between freezing and boiling. it was awful. the day i caused it they wouldn't let me go home because my symptoms weren't bad enough. excuse me? headache, blurry patch in my vision, and being cold in the spring/summer isn't a symptom of anything? is that what freshers flu is like or just general flu? my first illness at uni was very cold-like so i think it was a cold and not freshers flu

hope you are okay xx still loved the video as it shows you are human and don't want to hide reality xx 💕

Hope you're feeling a bit better this week Eve!

Get well soon and enjoy uni!

Freshers flu is awful and very hard to know how bad it is until you have it, all I can say is just don’t over do yourself, you will probably get it every year (even if you try not to, it always happens) but if you need to miss a lecture then do it, your health is much more important and you will be more productive when you feel better xx

I hope you are starting to feel better Eve. A hot drink I would suggest to help with cough / soar throat is hot water mixed with 1/2 tbsp tumric powder, some honey, a bit of lemon juice. Also for congestion I would suggest putting hot water from a kettle in to bucket , put some vix vapour in the hot water and breathe in . Also rubbing vix vapour on to your chest and back before you go to sleep.

Hope you’re ok! And hope you’re enjoying Oxford x

Would love to see more long style vlogs like this, one that includes getting ready for/going to a social event or going out would be nice!

Aww Eve, i just wanted to jump into my laptop and give you the biggest hug!

is the rabbit café jsut a thing at lmh?? because it’s so cute ahh

Hey I graduated yesterday from.highschool. what's ur best piece of advice?

I literally had this for almost two weeks went to the doctors and they said it was a virus that is very similar to a bad flu. He recommended neurofen sinus relief tablets and my god I took them for two days and it cleared! So much better than cold and flu/paracetamol/ibuprofen. Hope you feel better soon!!x

Sending love. Hope you’re feeling better now xxx

This Vlog is still worth a watch because every step of the way is a step of you achieving your dreams

I hope you`re better now! Lots of love from Potugal!

such a realistic video xx hope you get better soon xo

Freshers flu has got to be the biggest bitch ever. I thought I’d got away with it when I went to uni in 2016 but it hit me in mid-October, I fully relate to this video so much 😩😩 I remember being petrified to miss a lecture bc I didn’t want to miss a single thing but I spent a whole two hour lecture just trying not to pass out, it was literally living hell! Honestly it’s so worth paying 10-odd quid for a flu jab (tip for next year)! Don’t beat yourself up about it though, you can’t help being ill - it happens to the best of people and is no reflection on how hard you work!!! Hope you feel better soon, Eve!!! ❤️

You have the most amazing friends, it's adorable 💖

Hope you feel better, been liking your vlogs but I also miss your study related videos 💖
