Whatever your reason, I don't really care. Someone just asked me to do this article. So here's how to do it:

1. Say that you aren't feeling well the day before. Act tired.
2. Stay up all night so your eyes will be puffy and bloodshot the next day. You'll also be dizzy and tired.
3. Do a lot of screaming the night before so you have a sore throat the next day. If you're a good actor, you can just pretend a sore throat.
4. Lay a heating pad over your face for a few minutes to make your face red and puffy. (Be careful
not to burn yourself.)
5. Or lay on the edge of the bed with your head hanging off the side so the blood rushes to your face. Or do a handstand if you can.
6. Don't attempt to do a handstand if you can't.
7. Put a thermometer into a glass of warm water to raise its temperature. Be careful it doesn't get
too high, or else your parents/friend/roommate/sibling/boss/person will make you see a doctor.
8. Don't forget the obvious: lay a warm cloth over your forehead to make it warm.
9. Spin around the room 25 times clockwise. Then 25 times counter-clockwise to make yourself dizzy.
10. Breathe in some pepper to make yourself sneeze (make sure you hide the pepper very well).
11. Blow your nose into tissues constantly.
12. Act cranky and uncomfortable all the time. Glare at people. Don't smile.
13. Don't eat so much. Lose your appetite.
14. Act like you have difficulty breathing.
15. Wear multiple layers of clothes and stay under the bed covers until you start sweating. Say that you're cold.
16. Pinch your cheeks often to make them stay red.
17. Act clumsy and move slowly.
18. If you're really good, fake coughing.
19. Don't drink so much water. Become dehydrated. This will make your skin tone worse and create a dry throat (it's only for a day).
20. Always wait for someone else to suggest you stay home.
21. Don't act eager when they suggest you stay home. Protest a bit first (don't overdo this or else they will make you go).
22. Show signs of improvement during the day, or else they'll get suspicious.
23. Don't magically get 100% better the next day.
