10 Signs You're A Caffeine Junkie

Long days and longer nights are the fate of every college student. Exams, projects galore, and a constant stream of commitment would put even the most strong-willed to sleep. If you're anything like me, you've developed a pretty hefty caffeine addiction and owe all your success to the 1 a.m. coffee and noon Red Bull.

1. It's never too late for coffee. It could be 7 a.m. when you're getting up for the day, or 1 a.m. when you're about to go to bed, and whether or not you actually have any work to do, a cup of coffee will always hit the spot:[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F635826054262891752527498290_anigif_enhanced-30201-1400116435-15.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=979&h=c4d1f6ca1194200c5a6fbba1bfe8055c9bc267d0b124a41eb6af58945cebcc2e&size=980x&c=3703551832 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F635826054262891752527498290_anigif_enhanced-30201-1400116435-15.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D979%26h%3Dc4d1f6ca1194200c5a6fbba1bfe8055c9bc267d0b124a41eb6af58945cebcc2e%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3703551832%22%7D" expand=1]

2. As 2 p.m. rolls around, your first thought is how good it would be to grab a Red Bull to drink with lunch to get you through the next few hours:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F635826055936706623-966780965_tumblr_nd8rnoDyUv1tiio9ho1_500.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=435&h=0ea2a9ddf6c272caaf13a2521807f36ea9e6fca468046fc51cc29888afc27ca8&size=980x&c=154318517 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F635826055936706623-966780965_tumblr_nd8rnoDyUv1tiio9ho1_500.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D435%26h%3D0ea2a9ddf6c272caaf13a2521807f36ea9e6fca468046fc51cc29888afc27ca8%26size%3D980x%26c%3D154318517%22%7D" expand=1]

3. Not to mention the fact that it's pretty much essential when you have any work to do:[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F635826057250109205602639235_anigif_enhanced-buzz-583-1366827826-2.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=73&h=4dc01cd97621a31cf80cfb5c454354cfa1220d39a4a5df4c6e734ba5bf0c48c8&size=980x&c=1527466323 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F635826057250109205602639235_anigif_enhanced-buzz-583-1366827826-2.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D73%26h%3D4dc01cd97621a31cf80cfb5c454354cfa1220d39a4a5df4c6e734ba5bf0c48c8%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1527466323%22%7D" expand=1]

Step one: gather your work. Step two: grab an energy drink. Step three: get sh*t done.

4. You pretty much know that you have no meal points or money left in your account because of how much money you've spent on your caffeine addiction:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F635826059406523623-1993637739_51.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=826&h=231bd2b65438e1cfef292545412ce136d351f6528c8ea8ef155dd0fd70d93417&size=980x&c=712415110 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F635826059406523623-1993637739_51.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D826%26h%3D231bd2b65438e1cfef292545412ce136d351f6528c8ea8ef155dd0fd70d93417%26size%3D980x%26c%3D712415110%22%7D" expand=1]

No wonder why they call caffeine a drug.

5. People know not to talk to you before you've gotten your daily dose of caffeine because you will hit them: [rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F635826062264264907-1858758476_giphy-30.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=482&h=6d309666a2da0e9b284e1922081e3b58cbd47b69ae8715ce3083d40fed6f6bee&size=980x&c=3721255152 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F635826062264264907-1858758476_giphy-30.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D482%26h%3D6d309666a2da0e9b284e1922081e3b58cbd47b69ae8715ce3083d40fed6f6bee%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3721255152%22%7D" expand=1]

6. You may or may not be ever-so-slightly sexually attracted to a nice hot cup of coffee: [rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F6358260639721953761295558072_11503471.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=103&h=6973846089d48dcb2c97345c54d0b8303823c59ca9e7333b8684bf6bea63c693&size=980x&c=3578870804 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F6358260639721953761295558072_11503471.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D103%26h%3D6973846089d48dcb2c97345c54d0b8303823c59ca9e7333b8684bf6bea63c693%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3578870804%22%7D" expand=1]

Who needs a man when coffee will keep you warm at night?

7. You'd do anything for a fix to help get you through:[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F635826064484280721-158668198_tumblr_mbfpbwwrid1qizhaoo1_500.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=164&h=561ad5cf9207a18be284d72492a3af51e4f2b18d0bb16bd86c541412886b339e&size=980x&c=1669725194 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F635826064484280721-158668198_tumblr_mbfpbwwrid1qizhaoo1_500.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D164%26h%3D561ad5cf9207a18be284d72492a3af51e4f2b18d0bb16bd86c541412886b339e%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1669725194%22%7D" expand=1]

8. People will stop and tell you how bad drinking four Red Bulls and three cups of coffee a day is for you, but to you it's worth your impending heart attack:[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F635826066224692100-1236894318_actor-careless-gif-i-donx27t-care-Favim.com-1600444.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=43&h=de40c1ef6c3d769a65248a4be628982beb0a7805c5eafa817a8b991e463def3c&size=980x&c=2145793113 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F635826066224692100-1236894318_actor-careless-gif-i-donx27t-care-Favim.com-1600444.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D43%26h%3Dde40c1ef6c3d769a65248a4be628982beb0a7805c5eafa817a8b991e463def3c%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2145793113%22%7D" expand=1]

I'd rather die happy with a Red Bull than sad and majorly under-caffeinated.

9. You're contemplating giving a shout out to caffeine when you graduate because you know it was the real MVP these last four (or more) years:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F635826069175071705-1455062507_giphy.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=560&h=2145323a60236b6f07d76304ef360146b770b5e690cbf8ab9c655d657dcfba5d&size=980x&c=3479244473 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F635826069175071705-1455062507_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D560%26h%3D2145323a60236b6f07d76304ef360146b770b5e690cbf8ab9c655d657dcfba5d%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3479244473%22%7D" expand=1]

10. You plan your day around when you can get your next fix:[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2015%2F11%2F08%2F635826072563034087-579168472_Coffee-gif-7.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com&s=876&h=aefc3acd8a87b484bf926a056e8d966765d52513736e0eaac5f623c4022205f2&size=980x&c=3897961722 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2015%252F11%252F08%252F635826072563034087-579168472_Coffee-gif-7.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn1.theodysseyonline.com%26s%3D876%26h%3Daefc3acd8a87b484bf926a056e8d966765d52513736e0eaac5f623c4022205f2%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3897961722%22%7D" expand=1]

"Sorry I can't hang out then, I'm due for another cup at three, but maybe after?"

Hopelessly addicted and forever committed, thank you caffeine for enabling me to get out of bed in the morning and convincing me not to drop out of school.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
