It's well in the swing of midterms week as I write this, and with 3425234 projects, tests, and assignments, and take home quizzes to do, I need coffee more than ever. I'm also well aware that while most of our midterms will be over by the time this article is released, but there's nothing wrong with typing my prayer to the Lord of Caffeine while I actually need it (and not ahead of time, like the procrastinator I am). So if I'm dead next week from lack of sleep/caffeine overdose/manslaughter via schoolwork, you were warned. You see my last resort; a prayer to Caffeine to keep me and my loved ones (and you, too) safe from the clutches of midterms.

Our Caffeine, safe in the Keurig,

Hallowed be thy name;

Thy alertness boost

Thy sleep defender

Through all-nighters and daylight

Give us this day our daily cognizance

And forgive us our bleary eyes

As we forgive them for bleary-ing against us;

And lead us not into the clutches of midterms

But deliver us from failed grades

Starbucks (Amen!)

Here's hoping everyone survived their exams and essays, projects (single and group), and assignments this year around, whether you're a rookie or a veteran to the crazy days.

Go get some sleep, you tired students. And maybe a scone. You deserve it.
