We all can agree a big part of college is saving money in certain areas, so you’ll have more money to spend on partying. Well, there can be side effects of saving too much money. We can also agree on the fact that ramen has to be the cheapest way to save money and fill your belly at the same time. However, a diet consisting of ramen only, can be dangerous.

A fellow college pro decided that it would be a great idea to start saving money for the fall semester. He decided to start the all ramen, all day diet. For 3 weeks he spent  only $1 every day on ramen only. At the end of the 3 weeks he wound up at the local hospital due to severe loss of balance. At the conclusion of the visit, the doctor diagnosed him with ”labirynthitis,” loss of balance due to inner ear infection. For nearly a week this college pro was miserable because he struggled walking a straight line. Doc told this wiley college pro that it could have been caused by an increase in sodium in his diet or a few other things. Right away he knew what had happened and what needed to be changed.

Lesson learned!

If you wish to save money by eating the delicious ramen, please eat sparingley and maybe add some other foods into your daily diet. This will help you maintain your balance and stay away from the dreaded doctor.
