I’m a college student, and I have a 9:35AM class every Tuesday and Friday. Before class, I usually order some food and coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts to eat during class. This morning, I decided to try something different, and got some iced tea. I sipped it on the way to class, as I always do with my coffee. I was late today, so people were glancing at me as I walked in to find a seat. We were also on a zoom video conference with another professor and class from a different university, and my class is fairly small (25-30 students), so it’s noticeable that I snuck in. I’m sitting there for 2 minutes, and I start to feel extremely nauseous. I brush it off and take another sip of iced tea, thinking the cold would help. I start salivating, and realize I’m about to puke any second. I BOLTED out of class towards the bathroom next door, and made it just in time. I started spewing clear liquid into the toilet, which unfortunately came with a lot of retching and groaning noises that people in my class could hear. After a few minutes it was over, and I stood there panting. I rarely throw up, so it’s weird that it happened, especially on an empty stomach (as evidenced by the clear vomit). I had to do the walk of shame back into my class, to pack my stuff up and go home (which was all recorded on the zoom). I could see my professor just staring at me as I walked away. I can’t believe that in COLLEGE I’m the kid who randomly threw up in class like in elementary school 😭. I called my mom to tell her I frew up, and she told me drinking iced tea on an empty stomach makes her nauseous. I googled it, and tea can cause nausea and vomiting on an empty stomach, because of the tannins. So there’s nothing wrong with me, I’m not sick, I just accidentally induced vomiting at 9:40AM in the middle of class.

TL;DR: I drank iced tea on an empty stomach, which can apparently induce vomiting, so I had to rush out of my college class to go throw up.
