AHAHAHA I’m dead

[@dianacalderon169]

matt hahaha yes

[@anabelleparada3036]

hiii i love you sooo much just wanted to say though to consider others not only yourself when going out while you’re sick! i have cystic fibrosis which is a chronic illness mainly a respiratory disease but basically i’m extra vulnerable to general germs and bacteria especially if people are actually sick and spreading it, when i get sick it’ll usually turn into a lung infection which gets really serious and potentially even fatal; the life expectancy for CF is 40 ish. there’s a lot of people in similar situations like me with similar illnesses, and just the general healthy person shouldn’t have to be exposed to a sick persons germs just because they didn’t want to slow down and rest. i totally understand and love your drive and i love soulcycle too and i love your determination but there’s a difference between determination and knowing when to draw the line where you actually need to rest and slow down and take care of yourself and while doing that also take care of others because you’re not spreading your germs to people who you wouldn’t think you’d be affecting so strongly because looking at me you’d never know. love you so much just thought it would be a good opportunity to educate because of the amount of time you said “i don’t care” in this video about still going out while sick but you really should care at least not for yourself but for others :) just overall be smart and take care of yourself. it’s okay to slow down.

[@anabelleparada3036]

your health should go above everything including going out for halloween and a soulcycle class because you can go out or take soulcycle whenever, and your body will thank you for making the right choice and letting it rest, and others will thank you that you weren’t putting them at risk of getting sick too❤️

[@needhi4560]

40 min vlogs is what I’m here for!!!

[@ashleyyy1]

You’re literally crying about missing soul cycle girl you have your whole life. Your health comes first.

[@briannabradley310]

"you're wrong if you think I'm not going out" BIG MOOD SIS

[@briannabradley310]

also LIVING for you picking up Nat from shacking I'm dead

[@michelleli2415]

Living for these long vlogs😍😍 my friends actually hate me bc I always tell them “glb just posted, don’t text”

[@GretchenGeraghty7]

Michelle Li bahahaha I love that!

[@maklovesmotorsport]

You’re doing too much intense exercise and it’s destroying your immune system in addition to not getting enough sleep. You shouldn’t be doing soul cycle 7 days a week with doubles as well. Take care of yourself and slow down!

[@kelseydecker9710]

THANK YOU!! Someone finally said it lol

[@Hereismytwocents2011]

You should not be overdoing the exercise when you are sick!

[@emmaw.4916]

I had my tonsils out because I always got strep but if you don’t change your toothbrush after every round of antibiotics you can reinfect yourself

[@talliesinyoung]

Emma W. GRETCHEN!!! THIS!!!!

[@emilyfeil9178]

And use steri pods!!!

[@GretchenGeraghty7]

Yes I just bought like 10 new toothbrushes so I can change them a bunch lol! Thank you❤️

[@beemns]

two 40 min vlogs in a row GRETCHEN I LOVE YOU

[@Anon11277]

Yes, getting your tonsils out at your age will hurt like hell but I’ve known people older to get them removed and it’s honesty worth the pain of recovery. It’s better than getting sick every couple weeks! Especially when you take such good care of your health (food, working out wise).. you don’t deserve to be sick all the time! 😭

[@OliviaShannon]

always will love how u real u are and listening to u talk for like 5 min straight feels like we're friends on ft haha love it

[@blossomingprincess9266]

When I was a kid, for a year straight I suffered from a fever and ear infection at least one week out of every single month. It was honestly terrible. Once I had my tonsils removed I haven't been seriously sick up until last December. It really helps! xx Things that help when you're sick: -Gargle warm salt water -Drink honey and tea -Take a shot of ginger -Breathe in steam Also honestly I'm happy that Gretchen is happy and seeing someone who seems lovely for her! xx

[@LaurenScallenn]

Honestly kudos to you for being able to leave your bed and do stuff when you have strep I'm legit glued to my bed when I'm sick!!

[@kyliemassey2685]

Two days in a row. I’m living for this!!😭❤️

[@michelle_pgh]

You get strep an awful lot. I think someone around you is a carrier. But your parents are right, you do need to slow down and not push yourself so much. Your body isn't getting a chance to recover when you are sick.

[@isabellecioffi418]

your happiness is like radiating in the first few mins it’s soooo nice i love it

[@sheinahineza3975]

Thank god this is 40 min, like I love watching long videos while doing homework

[@aidansevier5417]

I am living for these long vlogs!!!!!! Now I dont have to watch your 3 year old videos cause i can't get enough of you! Also Max looks high key cute, like get it girlll

[@WellAnywaysImMegan]

girl you need to get your tonsils out asap! it hurts so badly but it will be worth it, trust me!

[@kiravogt3347]

I think she's mentioned before that she's tried and heaps of doctors won't let her bc of her age or something

[@zoegabriel2342]

Gretchen!!! Put your health first. There is literally nothing more important. You're trying to be "healthy" by working out but you're literally going overboard and it's clearly detrimental to your body. SLOW DOWN GIRL.

[@sadamariee]

sounds like you need to boost your immunities!! get some vitamins to boost your immunities girl! and this stuff called fire cider!!! get elderberry gummy vites. i used to get strep all the time and then i started taking vitamins too boost my immunity and haven't gotten it in years

[@cearabostick9315]

sadamariee I definitely need to do this! Is there any vitamins you recommend?

[@sadamariee]

@@cearabostick9315 A really good Multi Vitamin, I'm currently taking the Ritual ones and really liking them, a cheaper option is rainbow light womens one vitamins. Elderberry! Nature's Way Sambucus Elderberry Gummies are my favorite, a good Probiotic currently taking solarays womens probiotic, a B complex vitamin as well as immunity support it helps with mood as well and the obvious one vitamin c! Theres a B complex by Solaray that is really good and it includes vitamin c in it. And the fire cider, its amazing for immune support but not a great taste, you take it in a shot glass and it tastes kind of like salad dressing but its amazing for immune support and gut health! So in short, Multi Vitamin ( not all are created equal as with all vitamins) Elderberry B complex Probiotic Vitamin C Fire Cider I'd recommend going to a local health food store to pick up vitamins, especially if you have any questions they're always helpful! if you have any other questions you can DM me on insta! @sadamariee

[@Oboepuppyluver13]

Gretchen you make me so happy!!! I've been watching you for a few years now and I'm also now a senior in college and I feel like we've grown up together, you and me and lucy and watching your videos always cheers me up and puts a smile on my face :) keep doin you sis! Also send me some good bf vibes haha I'm so you I've been looking forever and everyone always says it'll happen when you're not looking but you know how that goes!

[@MorganBuff]

GRETCHEN i am LIVING for these longer vlogs!!!!

[@michaelaprice]

I LOVE YOUR LONG VIDEOS!! Please do 30+ min vlogs every time!! :)

[@Jessica-ee3rv]

A 40 MIN VLOG OKAYYYYY YESSSSS

[@stefaniking2635]

I got my tonsils out the week after I graduated college... it was terrible. BUT I used to get strep at least 6 times a year and I’ve only had it once since. Totally worth it. Also, side note, if you have strep you are highly contagious until you’re on antibiotics so you really shouldn’t be out because you can end up getting a lot of people sick which can suck. But totally get those tonsils out because tonsillitis is the worst.

[@brookecook100]

Gretchen I LOVE 40mins VLOGS!!!! Like please make all of them like this😂

[@sydneymitchell989]

Been in such a funk lately and this inspired me to get up and going thank god!

[@jadezavarella946]

OK I WAS LITERALLY THINKING I WISHED I COULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER 40 MIN VLOG TO WATCH AFTER THAT ONE THIS MORNING THANK GOD FOR THIS

[@FemkeHuisman]

[@jordenwilliams7087]

I seriously love your attitude! Your videos always make me in a good mood and inspire me to be more positive-- you rock sis!

[@FemkeHuisman]

Get better soon girl!!! Take some time to rest & fully heal, don’t go to soul (i know you don’t want to but its needed!!!) Oh & I reaaaaally miss OOTWs! xoxo

[@sagesheppard8028]

Omg three 40 minute vlogs!!! IM LIVING

[@emiliemoyer461]

Literally so happy for you! 💗☺️

[@mariahkeeler5392]

I used to be sick constantly like you and finally got my tonsils out at 19 although it was the worst pain ever i would rather have those few weeks of being in pain then constantly being sick, i’ve rarely gotten sick since then! but maybe it’s not for everyone! also love you and you’re videos❤️

[@debow335]

THUMBNAIL AHHHH! The Boy!!!

[@GretchenGeraghty7]

debow335 hehe :)

[@debow335]

Gretchen Geraghty love your videos!!!!:)

[@madelinecampbell8994]

You look so happy it’s literally contagious 💓

[@alexradcliffe8271]

I had my tonsils and adenoids out at 18. It sucked. HOWEVER having strep 6 times in 5 months was worse. It was one of the most painful things I ever went through, however it’s been 3 years and I haven’t had a single sore throat since. Gretchen, you should really look into getting it done over winter break or this summer. Coming from someone who had it done as an adult, it is worth it in the long run.

[@ckazzz02]

*sits down with my coffee* ohhh yes I can’t wait to watch this

[@naomischelp8001]

can you do a video with Max? like q&a or talk about how you guys met...stuff like that?

[@maddifelland3288]

OMG ALSO GRETCHEN IS LITERALLY GLOWING

[@MsExpresscheerleader]

I AM HERE for the 40 min vlog YES

[@brookeryan536]

(Sorry this is long but read it) I totally feel you with the strep thing.... I used to get it multiple times a year and it was the worst!!!! I’m 22 and I went to an ENT and he said he’d take my tonsils out no problem but made me super aware of how painful it will be and the risk of infection because of my age.... I opted out of the surgery because thankfully I haven’t had it in about 2 years. But my biggest piece of advice which I’m sure you’re sick of hearing is to just take it easy while your body is recovering.... that means no alcohol, no parties, no super late nights or super long days, etc. which trust me I know is so hard to do but you need to give your body a break so it has time to recover. There’s no sense in not listening to your body just to be sick again in two weeks when you can just take it easy the first time around and not have to go through it all again. Also the BEST remedy that I use when I’m sick is to make a pot of green tea and add fresh peeled ginger, cinnamon sticks, and honey.... it fricken works wonders because it is anti inflammatory and so incredibly soothing, you should definitely try it (it tastes delicious too) I love you so much sis and I hope you feel better soon!!! 💕

[@nicolei5196]

Awwwwww I’m so happy you’re happy Gretchen ❤️❤️❤️ love the 40 min vlogs!!!

[@mandy7469]

Gretchen, if you haven’t gone to an ENT before, go see one. I kept getting strep constantly and my ENT told me I have chronic tonsillitis (constant infection of my tonsils, including strep) that won’t go away unless I get my tonsils out! I’m 23 and getting mine out in a week. I’ve heard recovery is awful but that getting them out and not constantly being sick will be worth the pain of recovery.

[@emmaackerman4397]

G get your tonsils out!! I used to get strep allll the time. I got mine taken out in 8th grade, I rarely get it anymore. My tonsils legit exploded after they were removed because of the fungus that was in them (which made me get strep all the time).

[@emmaackerman4397]

Also get some vitamin c immune booster vitamins, they help a lot!!

[@BrookeAndChantal]

Gretchen I used to get strep all the time, and i went to a throat specialist and she told me I should get my tonsils out!! Ever since I got them out I havent gotten sick, go to a specialist so you can feel better xo

[@MrBiebersbabyy]

My best friend just got her tonsils out and we are 21 as well! She got through it just fine. She said it did hurt but it’s worth it to not be getting strep every 2 weeks!! Best of luck xoxo

[@LaurenScallenn]

Also I can relate to the "it's my senior year" fricken FOMO I went out four times a week every week LMFAO

[@nicolei5196]

You have to look at it as yeah the recovery for Getting your tonsils out will suck and be terrible for 3 weeks but then you’ll never have to go through this pain again bc that this rate you’re going to be in pain way longer than if you just get them out. I have a friend that got his tonsils out at 20 and he said it sucked but it is manageable! Deff look into it girl you shouldn’t be getting sick this much

[@emilyfeil9178]

The froyo from cafe 472 is a mood

[@jaimebh30]

I hope you get better soon! You pushing through sickness and going to Soul makes me want to take up biking at home. I need to try biking at least 4 days a week. The fabletic v leggings look good.

[@brittany95kay14]

The saying at 16 minutes that I think you were trying to say was "you snooze you lose" lol love you and these 40 minute vlogs! Wish we could legit be best friends!

[@BrookeKButler]

two 40+ minute gretchen vids in a row? WHAT IS LIFE😍

[@FemkeHuisman]

Brooke Butler right?!!

[@maddiecorona2547]

these 40 minute vlogs make my day

[@shinewithashandjance]

Slow down, relax and don’t overdue yourself

[@Ashleysoccer0227]

i would suggest taking kids motrin the liquid kind because that helps your throat so much it helps you be able to eat and feel better

[@brobinette14]

Was going to go to bed, but 40 minute vlog it is instead 💕

[@lnm8700]

I can't do anything with caffeine either because it give me so much anxiety. So jealous of people can drink coffee for some energy.

[@GretchenGeraghty7]

lnm8700 same!

[@allybeckwith2530]

lnm8700 I have really bad anxiety and it literally used to heighten it so much so I never drank it but now I’m in college and suddenly I need coffee every day to function. It sucks :/ I don’t know why but now I don’t get anxiety when I drink it? But I still get sometimes shaky depending on if I got more sleep the night before

[@cearabostick9315]

Same 😩

[@laurenmcatee2023]

Yes Gretchen with the long vlogs!!!! Love it sis!!

[@LexiB258]

Girl I feel you with the recurrent strep 😩 strep is so stressful especially when you have a bf and you have it every freaking week!!! I had it 8+ times last year, and had pneumonia. You def need to give your body a break, but getting your tonsils out might also be a good option for you. I gave myself a break from running around and I haven’t had it yet this year so let’s hope!!

[@NaturallyMeganxo]

Obsessed w these long vlogs 😍

[@ngozimiss504]

aww i literally love u gretchen haha i was cooking and eating too while watching :)

[@simonemohite4308]

i love her longer vlogs omg

[@emilyfloress4033]

girl get your tonsils out!! I was 20 when I got mine out and it really wasn’t as bad as they make it seem. I ate smoothies, soup, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, grits... like there’s a lot of stuff that you can eat. it’s worth it. instead of staying sick! trust me!

[@sarahhunter4259]

I know you've got a million comments about this but I would get your tonsils out. I did it when I was in first year uni at 19 and it sucked, I did lose about 10 lbs and had a rough time for 3 weeks BUT I haven't gotten sick with anything except for a cold since then (I'm 23 now). Getting strep that often is not good for you, and will eventually run you down.

[@alexandramei1975]

Gretchen you have been uploading so much and I’m loving it ❤️

[@HannahFoster1]

I used to get strep all the time. Getting my tonsils out was the best decision I ever made. I would talk to your doctor about getting yours out. Especially if it’s having such a negative impact on your quality of life. ♥️♥️

[@elanahoffman6216]

Omg Gretchen I'm livvinnngg for these long vlogs

[@ckazzz02]

I work at a school so you can imagine how germy it is but whenever i start to feel sick, I take a vitamin C pill! And it helps!

[@BriannaFornes]

Cutest outfits!!!!! You are my everyday inspo❤️❤️❤️

[@cearabostick9315]

I’m so happy for you Gretchen ❤️ You deserve the world! You’ve been through to much shit to not finally be in such a good place, and super happy with a booooy 😉 LOVE YOU!

Looove the long vlogs!

[@alyssa4157]

that hello fresh agnolotti looked soooo good omg

[@jessicaphillips4469]

I got my tonsils out when I was 22 and it was painful but not for that long, and honestly I don’t regret it because it’s been like 9 years and I haven’t gotten strep since! I was just like you before, getting it multiple times a year

[@MikesVegas]

Good for You Gretchen ❤️ Wishing you and Max a successful relationship ❤️

[@brinnymastey4489]

Girl I just got my tonsils out last week and it’s awful ! But I recommend it for sure ! You will def be spitting your spit out in the sink after surgery if you get them out ! Best of luck sis 💗

[@madisonherries7802]

You got these midterms Gretchen !

[@jordanjudd2011]

remember the titans is based on a school 5 min from me!! it’s so good!!

[@sophiebuckland9996]

get your tonsils out!! this kept happening to me ALL the time, then i got my tonsils out & it was all fixed!!!!! it's painful but its SO much better than suffering 24/7. i'm 21 also but it's only 10 days of recovery but then you're fixed!! it sucks seeing you struggle girl

[@annalinde3304]

yesss another long video keep it up !! love you

[@hayleycanfield3627]

I got my tonsils out when i was 17!! The recovery sucked but it wasn't anything not bearable. I'm surprised your doctor said that, I'd def try to find one. The recovery isn't as bad as getting street every week!!!

[@mollywilliams7658]

Hope you feel better ❤️ I was a carrier of strep but thankfully they caught it while I was young but maybe talk to a doctor not about getting them out because I’ve heard it’s horrible the older you get but maybe just ask about prevention? Even though your super healthy and take vitamins and all but hope it all works out ❤️❤️

[@mileycyrusfan494]

My former roommate got her tonsils out at 20 last December (i believe like December 20th) and she is honestly kind of a baby/hypochondriac but she got her tonsils removed and her recovery sucked but she was mostly better by New Year’s Eve!! I know the recovery can be awful but I do think you can get it done and be okay within a few weeks and not be horribly inconvenienced. If you can get it done over winter break I really think you would be almost better by the time the second semester starts!

[@nyahjanea]

i hope you feel better❤️ please make a what’s on your iPhone

[@juliaintrabartola3570]

got my tonsils out when i was 20 and it was the WORST pain ever but i did lose my freshman 15 and haven't had strep since, it was so worth it!

[@uyangabatsaikhan1251]

I love these longer vlogs! 💝💖

[@haleyfry8186]

i got my tonsils out and it’s the best decision ever. my throat never hurts

[@pugs910]

My sisters husband got his tonsils out at 25. It sucks but it can happen not impossible. You obviously need to take it easier, which you aren’t. You always ask why you get sick but it makes sense why you continually are sick.

[@isabellecioffi418]

we love u and the long vlogs

[@theiloveyew]

Hello fresh is not affordable 😭

[@abbithaaa]

Gretchen!!! Pls go see a doctor every time you get strep. After enough times they’ll take your tonsils out which seems like is what needs to happen at this point. I was getting so sick so frickin often (which might have been part of just working out too much and over exerting myself but I’m not gonna stop training ya know) but they took them out and I really haven’t gotten sick since.

[@2PinkPrincess1]

I got my tonsils out at 21. Trust me, it’s not as bad as everyone says it is. I took 1 1/2 weeks off and afterwards I felt so much better. It’s worth it I promise !
