I need two recommendations for most of my college apps.
I got all my recc's secured before we went on break last friday, but I came down with the flu and haven't been able to get out of bed until earlier today.
One of my recommenders said they won't be able to complete their part
I am in PANIC mode. The deadline is in 8/9 days.  I sent out an SOS to every teacher I've ever met begging for a recommendation. I'm not going to even be considered for college because of this.  What am I going to tell my parents?  omgomgomg

Since you are rocking a B1A4 avatar I shall help you!
First of all, it is the Christmas period, so teachers are unlikely to respond. For you to panic right now is not good, try and enjoy the festive holidays (well if you celebrate it that is). Is there anyway you can get the deadline extended? Surely if you had flu and with it being the holidays they'd be understanding right?
If it gets to the last minute and you are a little stuck is there not anybody who could speak on behalf of the teacher? Or maybe have a fake recommendation from a friend, family, relative or another professional?
I assume by recommendation you mean reference right? That is the term we use in the UK.
