Let's rate. My mom and I are going to show you and put together my medicine box for college because I'm going to my freshman year at Boise State. So first things up, we have barf bags. No one's gonna untie them and get them out of the package in time before they actually need to throw up. So we're gonna take them out of the package. This might be something we need to put on top because of that time situation. But you can organize that later. At least I have a bathroom in my dorm. But okay. Yes. And then next we have Narcan, which is so important. Yes. Um, for anybody to need in their dorm at any time. And that way they know Sophia has Narcan. Sophia knows she has Narcan and it's awesome. It could actually save lives. Next, we have some prescription Odansetron, which is just an anti-nausea medication. And we have some instant cold packs for those headaches. And up we have some rubber gloves for handling the worst of the worst, or maybe cleaning the toilet. Next, we have some contact solution, but I don't know if you want to put that in your medicine cabinet. Yeah, I'll probably just put that in my bag. Okay. And same with gummy vitamins. I love a gummy vitamin. So okay. Next, we have a COVID test because you never know. You don't want to make other people sick. We have some emergency vitamin C, okay? And this is just, you can even drink this, uh, regularly daily immune support if you feel you're getting sick. That's like the best. Yeah. It'll cure you. And we have some cough drop. And we have some NyQuil and DayQuil. Throw that out. Nope, take that out. Oh my god, how many bottles of it? We have just some regular ibuprofen. Okay, that's good. Okay, now we're back to some good stuff right there. And we have toothpaste in my bag. I should probably put this in. And we have some Plan B. You never know when you might need that. A check case. An emergency contact case. Or Plan B. Might all. Neosporin. That is a dermatologist's worst nightmare. Pepto Bismol. Okay. That's fine. Imodium AD. That's a diarrhea. If you have diarrhea, you'll need some ammonium. And we have Liquid IV for when you're dehydrated. Yes. Not hungover, but just plain old dehydrated. Yes. Okay. And we have some cough drop. Neosporin. That is a dermatologist's worst nightmare. Pepto Bismol. Okay. That's fine. Imodium AD. That's a diarrhea. If you have diarrhea, you'll need some ammonium. And we have Liquid IV for when you're dehydrated. Yes. Not hungover, but just plain old dehydrated. Yes.
