I never drink coffee, though that may change beginning in the fall :laugh:

Usually, I don't mind coffee, but I've had so much coffee and so little sleep...

...

It's good not to drink too much coffee 🙂 I commend you.

I've never developed a taste for coffee. It's a blessing and a curse.

Haha, I don't think you guys seem to realize that the taste has very, very little to do with why I drink it...😛😛😛

I always get a rush of epinephrine when I am going to take an exam. Coffee makes me feel like a piece of cellophane that is stretched too far.

That must be an incredible feeling...😛

hehe true. I just have never been able to force it down. Everyone told me once I went to college I would become a coffee fiend but I can't even step into Starbucks. The coffee smell makes me sick.

😱 It's not THAT disgusting. Just add tons of milk and sugar 😀

It's such a miserable feeling... I get it when I am so tired, and usually an hour nap cures it up.

Basically, my eyes feel both heavy and forced open. Fabrics and other materials make me feel at unease. My mind does not feel as open and free-flowing as it does normally. My thoughts are both cloudy and irritated, and little things that may be annoying make me very unhappy.

Yet this only happens with Coffee and fatigue. If I am not tired, coffee is great (although it is bitter). If I have not had any coffee, my fatigue usually ends up with me just being a bit withdrawn, but I am still very friendly.

Residency is going to be a blast...

I drink it black, more delicious that way.😀

My mom drinks it black too! yuck!

aznboy, for me it is that disgusting haha. I don't know why! One time my bf tried to trick me into drinking it because he thinks it is in my head. He gave me a caramel something or other that was really sweet to mask the coffee flavor (I thought it was just a shake or something). I spit it out immediately & screamed CoFFeeeee haha

Yeah, I definitely can't handle coffee like that. It's too bitter :barf:

If I need/want energy, I turn to Red Bull. That stuff is magically delicious.

Wow, that sounds intense. But I don't think you're missing out on that much anyway 🙂

Love-hate? Or love? 😳

Love as long as I have it available, otherwise I get a headache after awhile.

Vadd0 said:
BITTER. If it's not bitter, share the bean and grinding you're using! I use a Colombian grown arabica bean, that's been coarsely ground before brewing, and it's usually too bitter to enjoy black.

It's bitter, I guess I'm just used to it.

Really?

I think Mr. Nola might get a little upset with me if I drank Red Bull.

Geeeeeez....

He doesn't know about my lil caffeine addiction I'm nursing 🙁

Huh, interesting. Actually, I get a worse headache if I drink coffee than if I don't.

I think it usually has something to do with being dehydrated (due to the coffee) and tired...
 
Haha! Just got to work, but no one's here, so I'm takin' off!:laugh:😀

After I used to have to chug double shots of plain expresso to stay awake in my multivariable calc class :barf: I am now generally able to stand any bitterness in coffee... I really wanna try Turkish coffee because it is supposed to be the strongest coffee there is...

Don't coffee beans have a ton of different things in them also?

It's that classic "will they-won't they" scenario. Admit it, you're all hooked watching the drama unfold.

Coffee😍. A cup of coffee or even tea is great especially on snow days, but sleep is just as good. Actually, I must admit that sleep > coffee. Sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on your mood and cognitive abilities.

Sleep is the greatest gift a person could ever receive. I just wish that physicians were able to get the 8 hour sleep every day.

Yeah it's funny...I'm having some difficulty making sense of letters...

Possibly that's not such a great sign.

Chronic sleep deprivation to the tune of about 5.5-6.5 hours a night for the last 4 weeks or so is apparently not helping me focus. Who knew?

That's what I get for being a new relationship 😛.
 
pianola said:
Yeah that's what Mr. Nola would say...I definitely try to confine myself to more 'natural' and/or 'healthy' foods.

But a girl's gotta study...🙁
Click to expand...
True... If I get tired, I just sleep, or take naps... I cannot function if I am mentally tired, even if I drink coffee...

Any suggestions for a chemical-free drink :laugh:

Pure mountain spring water? Or freshly squeezed orange juice, or just put berries in a blender...:drool: <- There needs to be a drool smilie...

Ssshh... But it is all natural🙄

It helps me focus a little but beyond a certain point, all I can really claim is that I am 'awake' (if somewhat functionless).

Might as well be awake at the moment, seeing as I have no place to sleep.

And, haha, there's no snow day in FL.

They said two of the cases happened when Red Bull was mixed with vodka and the 3rd guy had drank 3 cans immediately after playing basketball.

I think if you have one before studying or something, you'll be fine.

I hate energy drinks. The only time I have them is when I at a bar, and even then I only have one or two so I can get to sleep before 5am

Same here. I have a cup of coffee or tea once in a while because I like it and rarely drink it to get work done. Being mentally fatigued and jittery all at once makes it impossible to retain information and focus.

Don't worry, here in SoCal, it is gonna be about 70 degrees, so I did not bring a jacket with me😛
 
Yeah for the first time, I could have actually used a snow day.
