Answers:
Sorry you are sick. When I was in college I became ill from a similar set of issues. I am not a doctor but here is what I've learned since then.
I was not eating much protein at all. This caused me to begin to experience anemia which makes you very tired. Because I was tired and weak, I would eat sugar, carbs and caffeine (also alcohol). Sugar has a number of pretty bad side effects when you are already sick and the caffeine messes up your sleep schedule making the whole thing kind of circle in a bad way.
This is what I would recommend:
Rather than large portions every 5 hours, try to eat smaller portions ever 1-2 hours for a total of 6 small mini meals a day. This helps stabilize your blood sugar. When you eat, try to have some protein. You can get protein in the morning with eggs, soy milk (on cereal), or cottage cheese. Try to stay away from fatty meats like bacon or sausage in the morning until you feel better because the grease and fat may upset your stomach. You may choose to also stay away from citrus juices for the same reason.
Try to eat whole wheat bread instead of white bread, muffins, or biscuts since the white bread won't help you.
With lunch and dinner, or as in between meals, try to eat a salad or some kind of vegetable. Try to get vegetables in your system since they will help you build up your immune system and generally feed your body. Veggies with olive oil taste good and give you good stuff to fuel your system.
In order to help your system flush out the bad stuff and get you healthy again you need to drink a LOT of water. Just drink it all day long. Drink only water until you feel better. (no soda or other stuff) You also need to get your circulation going so find a way to excercise at least 30 minutes of cardio every day. If you are interested in a heavier workout, try this at night before you sleep. If you exhaust yourself you are more likely to get a good night's sleep. You may also be losing sleep because of stress. Try to get some of your studying done in the morning and book your classes later in the day so that you have time to cram if you need to before a test. This way you are studying and cramming when you are freshest in the morning. However, if this prevents you from sleeping. I guess that would be bad. Figure out something else that works for you.
I have a foolproof cure for sore throat but it won't help your stomach. Get fresh lemons and gargle the lemon juice in your throat. you will feel a burning sensation as it attacks the bacteria in your throat. Do not have sugar or dairy or water for at least 30 minutes so hat it has time to work. The acid is obviously not good for your teeth or your stomach but you should only have to do this one or two times and it will destroy the sore throat bacteria. (Or you can always try antibiotics)
Good luck!

it's the stress and you have to calm down and stuff go on a vacation It sounds like stress. You just need a few days off to yourself with nothing to worry about.

Could you be pregnant?
Your probably experiencing a lot of stress. Added on you're probably worried to much. Just take 10 minutes everyday to do something fun like watch TV or look at junk on the internet. 10 minutes is not much time but it'll help you calm down. Um, see a doctor? Or follow advise of the morons on youqa.com? Hmmm.
You're stressed out. School will do that to you. It won't last forever, just until finals. Then you'll be back to normal.
And you get to do it again every semester until graduation!
