eyy you fulfilled your childhood dream and got a piece of the pirate experience XD
Sure did!
The clinic recommended by student health services sucked - I went in with a VERY bad UTI (and a pre-existing history of kidney disease) in freshman year and they were like "yeah, you definitely have an infection, but we're not giving you anything for it, just drink lots of water" - so honestly you were probably better off having just googled the symptoms anyway.
that’s so bad what 💀💀💀
This is how parents need to get kids to eat their fruits and vegetables
In college, I bought bottles of lemon juice to flavor my water. It was EVEN CHEAPER than kool-aid and plain water makes me feel exhausted and flushed out.
I’m mildly convinced artists don’t like cooking because its the opposite creative energy void that sucks up the mental creative juices we’d rather expend on creating art. If we could survive without eating at all, many of us wouldn’t miss it 🤷♀️
Cooking is also a form of art? That can be loved as drawing or painting is.
@@Waspinmymind exactly, thats why I mentioned its a creative energy expense. My husband LOVES cooking the way I love drawing (thank goodness or I'd survive on ramen and speghetti lol)
I actually love cooking😂
I just find it so fun to make food. But I’m also picky so there’s only so many things I actually cook
Nah I love food and cooking If I couldn't I would just end myself lol
@@PerryPicturesMaybe for other people, but I’m “not like other artists” and like both, and so I’m a weirdo. Lol.
me, who has literally all these symptoms and have been having them longer than i can remember a time i didnt have them: wait, you guys arent constantly feeling like this???
It’s always an Experience when you have to learn the importance of giving your body what it needs to function the hard way. I ended up in the ER due to a lack of potassium! It’s an important electrolyte and nerve conductor that keeps your heart beating, who knew? By the time the chest pains set in I was VERY close to cardiac arrest. I now also drink orange juice religiously for that sweet, sweet potassium- and the extra vitamin C obviously doesn’t hurt either.
Thank you for sharing your stories! It’s more common than you think for college kids learning how to feed themselves to end up with major deficiencies. I knew at least one person that also got scurvy for similar reasons. Makes you appreciate dining halls.
Omg tysm I've been having chest pains for a bit and I just realized I couldn't remember when I'd last had a banana or an orange. Tysm if I hadn't seen this it could've gotten a lot worse.
Honestly, malnutrition issues are just part of being a collage student.
honestly if i didn't enjoy fruit so much(young me was given a limit on how many oranges i was aloud per day) I can totally see me having gotten scurvy. although some of your symptoms did sound concerningly familiar
I also have this problem
Veggies and fruits 🥕🥔🌽🥦🥬🥒🌽🫑🥑🍆🍅🥝🥥🌽🍈🍒🍑🥭🍍🌽🫐🍓🍇🍉🌽🍌🍏🍎🍐🌽🍊🍋
4:10 me watching this whole eating a brownie that I made because I felt like baking 😂
Pretty much any time I start feeling light headed or sick in any way, I just take a quarter teaspoon vitamin C powder dissolved in water twice a day for about a week, and I hardly ever get actually sick👍
As you were listening off the symptoms I was thinking “Huh, those sound pretty familiar.”
I just love the fact that you are finding humor from this situation. Now that I think about it, I should really get some groceries 😅
And eat a fruit or veggie (or both).
This is probably exactly why my mom always tries to have some kind of marinated protein (usually salmon) in the fridge, as well as leftover rice and those plastic containers of triple-washed baby spinach, as it makes an easy and healthy meal. Also fruit. Lots of it.
The last storytime video was what brought me here! Dont regret it at all, your storytelling skills are brilliant, and I vow not to miss a single one from here on out.. and I binged the old ones the day I found you xD
The symptoms you described have just been my normal existance for years now, should i be worried ? :'D
Im already trying to eat more vegetables and fruit, but its super hard cuz their tatse is often unreliable and they start rotting if i don't use them within 2 to 3 days, which sucks cuz we only go shopping once a week ^^"
Now that I think about it I've been pretty tired lately and probably don't eat fruit nearly often enough. I should go do that
oh shit, i should go get some orange juice... 👀
I love vegetables, can't understand how people live without them
hi i just finished reading castoff today and oh my freaking god its so good *cries*
To be fair, using chopped cabbage instead of iceberg salad for salads is pretty common in Europe and Asia. You didn't suck at cooking, you just ate international that day. XD
I'm in the same situation as you and this has been a fear in the deep corners of my mind. Luckily I eat a lot of fruit... But I can't say the same for veggies
That sounds like…an experience. I’m glad your last story time went viral! Also don’t overwork yourself. I hope you hit your goal, but don’t overwork yourself. We definitely don’t want another health repeat from stress this time. Anyway, good luck and have a good day.
I'm glad I eat fruits and veggies,never experienced scurvy,thankfully
Well hey, now at least you can get people to cook food for you! FREE FOOD
9:23 the pulsating eye blurriness has happened to me before! When I heard this, I was like “oh my gosh I know exactly what she’s talking about! I’m not crazy!”
This story was a journey! I always need to keep Tang on hang XD
Add it to hot chocolate
I can't drink orange juice; I've got some kind of sensitivity to citrus or something like that. But I always make sure to have apples, carrots, grapes, all that fun tastiness in my fridge because one thing I learned from doing medieval reenactment is that you don't want their diseases.
The narration is really well-timed with the background music, that was surprising, and really creates a nice effect!
Several years ago I used to get sick very often, like a cold once per month or so, but then, because of devaluation, all stores rose the price of all junk snacks, so I said fk it, I will eat fruit instead. Turns out I didn't have a weak immune system, I had a vitamin deficiency for eating too much junk food and not enough fruits, that change of diet stopped the monthly colds.
Yo ho yo ho it’s a pirate's life for her
As a college student majoring in animation, listening to this video while doing homework made me take a break to eat an orange
Because of issues with super picky eating since forever, possibly to the point of disorder (and possibly trauma-induced?), I don't think I've ever eaten a fruit or vegetable. I've had some orange juice before as a kid and sometimes have things fruit flavored (which I don't think counts) but besides that, nothing. The more I learn the more I wonder how I'm alive lmao
Ever since that one episode of Castlevania, I've taken to adding citrus to my water 😆🍋
Last time I checked Starfish had 4k. Just realized she has 4X that amount. GOOD WORK!!😊
Yeah it's actually true that lack of proper nutrition is a huge problem even today. You look at stuff like breakfast cereals and it's all full of processed shit, yet breakfast is the most critical meal of the day. Using multivitamins as a "cheat" to fix a poor diet never works because they don't absorb properly into your body (and they're still lacking real nutrients anyway).
Also need to mention hydration, it's super important to get a full quota of water intake per day PLUS what you need to offset any dehydrating drinks. People have for real been hospitalised from extreme dehydration and their internal organs start shutting down.
Realized I have been sleeping more than usual and haven't been taking my vitamins, thank you for reminding that I actually have to take care of my body lmao
both of my parents are university professors and my mom tells her students in orientation to remember to eat their fruits and veggies like little children for this very reason 😂
hope you know that watching this video made me get up, stretch and eat and apple. your silly experiences are a reminder for all of us to be better. thanks
Pretty sure this has happened to me too. LOL
I watched the entire thing now I’m scared of what to eat- LIKE I EAT CEREAL EVERY DAY AAAAAHHHHHH
what you expected vs reality moment
huh, i also had the tiredness and twitchyness before, never knew what it was, but it just went away one day, so maybe i had it too? not sure though but the night it went away i dont even remember eating at all so im really not sure if its the same thing but at the time i also had foggy memory so im not sure, maybe i did eat
YOOO HOO! YOO HOO!! A SCURVY'S LIFES FOR ME!!!
I'm allergic to most fruits, so I have to take vitamins to make sure I get all my nutrients!
Reminds me of .... uhh, me a month ago when I got my blood checked and ahahah oops iron-deficiency so bad my ferritin levels are very low (not good). So. Iron tablets it is.
Note to self, take up drinking apple juice again when I go away to college proper.
FEED THE ALGORITHM!!!!
Meanwhile there's me whose parents always forced to eat fruits and vegetables everyday, and now if I go a day without eating vegetables I worry I'm going to get scurvy or something (actually my thoughts are more along the lines of constipation)
Pro tips for those that need easy meals that don't take a lot of time:
Order takeout with fruits or veggies like a pizza with mushrooms and bell pepper or sushi with avocado and mango.
If there's a grocery store nearby, pick up a bottle of smoothie or fruit juice and make sure to have at least one glass of it with breakfast.
If you can't get fresh fruits, try to eat cereal bars or such with fruit pieces in it.
If you eat fries or burgers, try to include ketchup to get the tomato vitamins a little.
And finally: if you don't get enough vitamins due to a dietary restriction (like vegetarians not getting enough B12 for example), make sure to take a daily vitamin supplement.
All these are small and don't really take a lot of time. But it sure as hell will help you ingest enough vitamins so you don't end up giving yourself scurvy like star has 😂
God dammit Star...
I think this is a good lesson to young people. Eat the veggies!
i'm watching your videos while i work on my own art business stuff, which has me also sitting at a computer a lot and i'm also not really interested in cooking for all the same reasons, on top of having a lot of food allergies... i really do think you just called me out lmfao. this video made me crack open a bottle of apple juice. i thought my body was just Quirky
We asked and we have received
And this, kids, is why you should have juice in case you ever find yourself not having the time to eat healthier meals.
This story makes me want a glass of OJ
*star describing her symptoms*
me, realising iv been experiencing most of them recently: …oh no
Cool art star btw I also like pirates
The STARFISHFACE IS REALLLLLL
One word,
Wow.
While oranges are (rightfully) advertised as being high in vitamin C, the fruit with the highest amount is golden kiwi.
I practically live off fruit
My pre-school aged nephew also got scurvy and had to stay in a hospital for a few nights just for the medical staff to deduce that. My brother and his family were really upset about the whole ordeal. So, no judgement on you.
Hope you've had vegetables recently!
scurvy-ridden ship
Learn from Star's mistakes, everyone.
