You do not truly know a person until you’ve studied with them. <\/p>\n
Most people I see, they sit quietly, occasionally sipping their coffee, steadily going page by page. I’m a different story. <\/p>\n
Get me in one place with study materials for more than 45 minutes, and sooner or later, I’ll end up curled on the ground clutching a chair leg staring down an open textbook, sitting there on the ground, laughing at me, mocking<\/em><\/strong> me. It sees my weakness, knows my flaws, it can see into my soul and it finds fear!<\/p>\n Or maybe it’s the caffeine withdrawal talking. I don’t know. You know that stockpile I told you about earlier? I ran the numbers again<\/p>\n Now, before you laugh at me for the Crystal Light, this is pure straight powder. No liquid. So if I wanted to jack up a bottle of Monster with an extra 50 mg of caffeine, I can do it without significantly affecting the volume I have to carry. All the caffeine of several cups of coffee conveniently stored in a 16.9oz Ice Mountain bottle. <\/p>\n It was freaking sweet<\/em>. Extremely. Unbearably so. My eyes watered when I drank it. I yelped a little after swallowing. There was so much sucralose, it was like drinking wastewater from Willy Wonka’s factory. Monster with glucose plus close to a gram of aspartame. Sure, it was 210mg of caffeine in 16oz of liquid, but I was floored by flavor. I wasn’t in flavor country, the Flavor Republic invaded with diabetes-inducing weapons and I was on my knees kissing the boot of its monarch. <\/p>\n The key is small sips. Enough to get me up all night at the library. After a couple of nights of this, I could tell that I was physiologically addicted. I woke up in the morning with cold feet (despite the clement weather), stuttering, and with my arms shaking. Not to mention the headaches that would come if I sat still for too long. Zach mocked me as being an addict now. I rebuked him as I clutched my chair leg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You do not truly know a person until you’ve studied with them.
