5 Different Ways To Get Your Caffeine Fix
Food Insight

As college students, we can all agree that caffeine is our best friends (aside from our moms and dogs). What we need to realize is that there are several ways of increasing our caffeine content. While some methods are common knowledge, others may be unknown to many people.

1. Coffee

This way is obvious but necessary. Black coffee, lattes, frappuccinos, coffee ice cream––you name it, it has caffeine. Even decaf has a little bit whether or not you want to admit it. Treat yourself and get a Starbucks or coffee from your college's coffee shop.

2. Tea

While tea is another obvious method of getting caffeine, not all teas are an excellent source of caffeine. Black, Green, and Earl Grey teas are infamous for supplying a daily dose of caffeine. Chai has a smaller amount, but it will do the trick if the drink is large enough. However, herbal teas, such as orange spice and chamomile, do not naturally have caffeine, so avoid those kinds of teas if you want to stay awake. Hence the "Caffeine Free" labels on the tea bag packets.

3. Chocolate

Hot chocolate, chocolate milkshakes, and caffeinated chocolate bars are all great ways to get that extra boost of caffeine into your diet when needed. Not only are they all super delicious, but they will help keep you up speaking from personal experience.

4. Caffeinated soap

Yes, this is a real thing. While it sounds incredible and, overall, has decent Amazon reviews, I have never taken the chance to try it. As read by the reviews, the soap will help you to become more alert and will potentially keep you up at night.

5. Protein Bars

Not only do bars provide energy from nuts and all the healthy items they put in them, but bars such as Clif Bars are a nice way to get a little bit of caffeine into your body, which is just enough to keep you awake long enough to finish that homework about which you completely forgot.

Get some caffeine; you deserve it. Keep on keeping on, and stay up all night for as long as your heart desires or until you realize it is 3 A.M. and you have to be up in four hours for class.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
