The Rumbling Tummy Syndrome

Definition: an uneasy and noisy sensation due to a lack of food and meal planning

Symptoms:
- loud stomach growls
- clutching of the stomach
- headaches and/or dizziness
- the shuffling of papers/feet or the scraping of chairs in an attempt to cleverly disguise the loud growls

When it appears:
- in quiet classrooms while writing midterms
- studying at the library
- in a silent computer lab
- during a tutorial while you are answering a question
- any inopportune/inappropriate moment that serves to embarrass you

If only I could eat this daily :(

Remedies:
- walk around with granola bars - they can help fend off the rumbles temporarily
- EAT BREAKFAST!!!
- always have money for food or bring lunch (keep a map of microwave locations campus-wide)

 Additional Information:
This syndrome has affected countless university and high school students alike - and still continues to do so. Although it is easy to combat - just follow the remedies. But remember, paper is noisy so use it to your advantage; too much feet shuffling looks like you have to go pee. Good luck and get well soon!
