Suspected cases of Norovirus are showing up across America, in places such as the University of Minnesota, Oregon State University and our very own University of Rochester. Many students I've talked to experiencing the symptoms describe having slight stomach aches and then sudden nausea and vomiting. Yikes. While the virus, appropriately named "winter vomiting bug", only lasts 1-3 days, those days are certainly a struggle. While I can't currently speak from experience, I think that Kanye West's songs and faces accurately describe each step in this sickness journey. So without further adieu... I present:

KANYE WEST.

1. Good Morning

You wake up. You're feeling good. It's gonna be a great day - yay!

2. FourFiveSeconds

One moment you're just enjoying lunch with some friends and then in a matter of seconds, four to five seconds to be exact, you suddenly feel sick and dash to the bathroom. Oh no!

3. Mercy

You are at the mercy of Norovirus! Once contaminated you become weak, powerless against the nasty bug.

4. Homecoming

Though "coach potato" was always a title you took pride in, you never thought you would take it this far.

5. FML

On the bright side: you lose weight; on the down side: you can't hold anything down.

6. Who Will Survive in America

You have Norovirus. Your friend has it. Your friend's mom's cousin's brother's twice removed cousin has it. We're all doomed!

7. Stronger

Wait a minute... Can I lift my head off my pillow? YES. Can I walk outside, no matter how ridiculous I look? Yes!

8. POWER

Much power. Much strength.

9. I Am A God/Jesus Walks

'Tis me, God/Jesus. Norovirus ain't got sh*t on me. Get rekt.

10. Famous

If I can survive Norovirus, I can be famous. Can't tell me NOTHING.
