I Am Irrationally Irked at Allergic Reactions

The only thing that I am aware of being allergic to is the eye dilation drops you get at the optometrist. I say "you," because I no longer get them. Because I am allergic, and they make me get light headed and pass out. I try to stay away from that kind of thing.

So here I am, actually taking cold medication for once since I feel like I've had TB for the past few days but I don't have time to take it easy. Great idea, right? I mean, it's just Dayquil. I have taken Dayquil before. It's not a problem. It's delightful. I love Dayquil. Yay cold medication! 

NO.

Because here I am, 2:00 in the morning in the middle of Clemons Library when I start noticing that my lip feels funny. Well, the upper left side of my lip. Huh. Weird.

I pull out a mirror, and what do I see?

MY UPPER LEFT LIP IS THE SIZE OF A SMALL COUNTRY.

No joke.

I now look like I had botox injections on half of my mouth. 

In case you were unsure, I DID NOT HAVE BOTOX INJECTIONS ON HALF OF MY MOUTH.

I also have hives.

I have not had hives since I was seven years old. This is not a usual thing here.

I turn to my ever-so-delightful-and-supportive friends and fellow members of the Advocate editorial staff, and what do they do?
"Jenna, your lip is fine....wait....uh...."

Cue laughter.

A lot of laughter.

Who the HECK has allergic reactions to this stuff? It didn't even show up on Google.

Add this to reasons why my life is unreal.

And while you're at it, add some sass to your Angelina Jolie sized classy lips,

Jenna


Update:
Friends:
"Jenna! Try and do the duck face!"
"Jenna! Your face looks sassier!"
"Jenna! It's getting better...bahahahahahaha."


Update #2 (4:09 AM):
The other side of my lip is swollen. If I didn't have a nose, I would look like a Caucasian Voldemort. A friend just gave me benadryl. If this does ANYTHING to me but reduce swelling, I'm going to throw something. 
Probably a fit.
