1 20–ounce Gatorade Drink it for the electrolytes, which does not mean you will have electricity shoot out of your fingertips.

1 Box of Tissues                                             Because using toilet paper instead just feels kinda                                                   gross.

1 Pair of Slippers                                              Treat yo’ self.

1 Box of Popsicles The coolness of the ice soothes your throat, plus they can make any day way more fun.

1 Bag of Lifesavers Or really, any kind of sucking candy will do. Way                                                       better than cough syrup.*
