Hear ye, hear ye. Spring has sprung. That magical time when the birds are chirping, the sun is bright, and your immune system is staging a coup. It’s officially time to whip out that industrial-size box of tissues and Claritin!
It’s a painful season. As you walk through Fort Reno with your friends, you’re hit with a symphony of 250 sneezes. During practice, you’re running on the field, and suddenly you’re hit with a pollen bomb. You call timeout because you can no longer catch the ball without your nose dripping. Walking home, an old lady walks up to you asking if you are ok, and as you wonder why she is asking, she hands you a tissue, and you realize your eyes are so watery they could fill two swimming pools.
The worst part about allergies is being at school because one cough and you’ve become the side-eye pariah;you’ve started the newest plague. You try to explain yourself: “It’s just allergies, everyone has them!!” But it is no use. Your classmates are already scooting away from you. You sneeze and your teacher stops mid-lecture to spray Lysol everywhere.
However, there are a few solutions. So without further ado here is your 2025 guide to surviving allergy season:
- Rock those sunglasses – Wear them 24/7. If you already wear glasses, you’re in great shape.
- Lock the windows – There’s no need for fresh air if it’s slowly killing you.
- Hydrate is your soulmate – Drink water until you feel like a walking fountain.
- Tissue mountains – Carry a garbage bag with you at all times for those tissues. Bonus you can throw side-eyers in it.
- Claritin? More like Clari-win. Allergy medicine can be your superman when fighting that pollen. •
