Had to look it up, apparently it was Benedryl. Not sure what Apple was thinking but she's actually hilarious. Too bad some people gave her shit for it.

Although, a lot of us totally used the "seasonal allergies" excuse with our folks when we were young.

She did go to college for art a few years later. I also had "seasonal allergies" and whet to school for art and design. Most people in that major had that same affliction.

I personally don't really care, except for the fact that she was 15 at the time and that's not a good time to take mind altering drugs. That aside I think it's just a humorous situation and result, which I just laugh about.
