Getting Sick in College

So I’m moving to California (from NJ) next Friday and have been extremely excited to make the move for over a year now. However, almost a week away from making the big move I’ve found myself sick with a horrendous stomach virus. I went to the doctor and got medication and am feeling better and have no doubts about being healthy when it’s time to leave, but it got me thinking:

Without my parents to drive me to the doctor, make sure I wasn’t passed out with my head in the toilet, grabbing things like soda and advil and overall just being there comfort wise, how would I been getting through it all?

Obviously I know the majority of Americans end up living by themselves and getting through sicknesses by themselves eventually, but I have a knack for getting REALLY sick whenever I get sick and it worries me to be 3,000 miles away.

Any suggestions on staying healthy and coping when the time eventually comes?

Thanks!
